Universal power supply unit
KOSTAL solutions for supplying voltages and currents with the highly efficient and decentralised universal power supply unit with a high power class and robust design.
Designed for continuous use
The decentralised power supply unit from KOSTAL enables a highly efficient power supply directly in the field thanks to a three-phase connection. With its high power class and robust design, including adequate cooling and high protective class, it is ideal for decentralised use outside the control cabinet.
Power supply in the field
The power supply unit offers flexibility by supplying electronic consumers directly at the point of use and can be operated independently to ensure optimum power distribution.
Advantages of the KOSTAL universal power supply unit:
- 960 watts + IP54: no competition in this class to date
- Power Boost 1.5 kW / 4 s
- Lockable maintenance switch
- Electronic DC line protection (parameterisable)
- Integrated chopper (load resistor to protect against overvoltages caused by power being fed back), like a brake resistor
- Output voltage adjustable by + 4 V to compensate for line losses
- Two digital outputs for status display or PLC remote maintenance
- Terminal area for second AC line, for looping through
- Separate AC and DC connection ranges, to protect against short circuits
- Various potential installation positions
- Max. operating height 2,000 m above sea level
Power supply unit fields of application:
- Energy supply in the field
- Intralogistics/warehouse technology
- Robotics
- Material handling
- Conveyor technology
- Decentralised systems and machinery

the KOSTAL universal DC/DC converter
KOSTAL solutions for converting voltages and currents. Power typically up to 22 kW. Variants: AC/DC, DC/AC, DC/DC with grid feed-in: meets the feed-in guidelines.
Converting DC/DC voltages efficiently
The DC/DC converters from KOSTAL provide an efficient interface between batteries and fuel cells by precisely adapting different voltage levels. As they are parameterisable, KOSTAL converters ensure a high level of efficiency right from the commissioning stage.
Ready for the future
The KOSTAL DC/DC converter therefore fulfils the requirements of hydrogen technologies and self-sufficient energy supply systems in a targeted manner. The modular system is specially designed for parallel use and can be scaled up to a total output of 10 kW.
Advantages of DC/DC converters
- Scalability from 1 – 5 devices / 2.1 kW – 10.5 kW
- Compatible with all battery systems < 60 V
- Can be integrated into 19" systems
- Wide input voltage range of 10 V – 30 V
- Efficiency of up to 97.5 %
- Standardised cold plate
- Easy to integrate into customer system
- Converter topology: Boost converter
- Communicative thanks to RS-485 and CAN (optional)
- Preset standard parameters
- Simple, individual parameterisation
- Fast commissioning
- Battery reverse polarity protection and battery connection protection
- Thermal monitoring and power regulation
- Synchronised parallel operation of several converters
Potential DC/DC converter applications
- Fuel cell
- Self-sufficient energy supply
- Hydrogen applications
- Renewable energies

Ready for action:
the KOSTAL universal rotary encoder
Precise angle measurement: high-resolution rotary encoders for precise measurements. Integration into systems: easy integration into control and monitoring systems, with support such as automatic recording of baud rates and protocols.
Position sensors for roller shutters and more – with unrivalled precision
The rotary encoder uses a unique sliding contact technology that has proven itself in the automotive industry. The encoder records precise positions and serves as an efficient interface between the motor and the control system.
Reliable and ready for action now
The rotary encoder is available now. It enables the speed and acceleration of roller shutters to be precisely and easily calculated and controlled and reduces the amount of maintenance required compared to conventional solutions.
Advantages of the KOSTAL rotary encoder
- Position query every 3 ms
- Very high polling rate
- Performance level C (EN13849-1), device is suitable for performing a safety function (TÜV certificate)
- Analogue (new) RJ45 variant and digital version
- OEM solution possible (e.g. GfA)
- Downward compatible with the first version
- Signalling contact safety chain, for safety PLC
- Low power consumption
- Automatic baud rate detection
- Automatic protocol detection, conflict detection
- Multiple single turns possible on one bus protocol (address change)
- Magnetic field insensitive, as no Hall sensor
- Tested for 1 million cycles
- Service and product support
- Made in Germany
Rotary encoder fields of application
- Industrial doors/high-speed doors/sliding doors
- Barriers
- PV tracking
- Wind power, small wind turbines
- Railway, doors
- Automatic sliding doors, airlocks, swing gates
