Mencom Corp. has more than 3,000 designs of panel interface connectors in production and its teams of engineers are designing new and custom PIC models every day.
A PIC is a device that typically mounts to the outside of a control panel housing a PLC, computer or other type of programmable device. Once in place, the PIC, which houses convenient pass through connections, allows quick, easy, safe access to the controls inside the cabinet without opening the main door. The ability to interface with the contents of the cabinet without opening the door prevents a lot of potential safety hazards associated with having an open electrical panel, such as arc flash.
An arc flash explosion is an extremely dangerous system malfunction that occurs when a short is created between electrified conductors. The use of PIC can save significant time and money by eliminating the need for extra training and equipment.
