That was E-world 2026
E-World is and remains one of the most important exchange platforms for our industry – and this year was no exception. With around 33,000 visitors and over 920 exhibitors, there were plenty of opportunities to initiate new joint projects. This year's highlight? The launch of our EEBUS Relais Converter in collaboration with Weidmüller.
Energy Metering relies on EEBUS relay converters from Weidmüller and PPC to accelerate the control rollout
The EEBUS Relay Converter (ERC) enables digital control even where only relay switching inputs are available – and is therefore ready to accelerate the control rollout with immediate effect. The product was developed jointly by PPC and Weidmüller. Energy Metering, a subsidiary of Octopus Energy, a competitive metering point operator, was also involved from the outset. The solution will simplify the implementation of Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). Delivery will start in mid-2026.
Digital control meets relays: Weidmüller and PPC launch new solution for control rollout with EEBUS relay converter
At E-world, Weidmüller and PPC are demonstrating the EEBUS Relay Converter (ERC), a solution for control in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) at the interface between EEBUS digital and relay analogue. The jointly developed product translates digital EEBUS control signals into analogue relay switching commands. This means that even non-digital systems can be controlled by an SMGWplus in accordance with the requirements of Section 14a EnWG and Section 9 EEG.
Direct control from the gateway – The key to efficient control rollout in 2026
With the ramp-up in the installation of heat pumps and wall boxes, grid operators are facing a new challenge: each of these systems must be controllable in the future. The difficulty here? If a new physical device has to be installed for each controllable consumer, the mass rollout will be slowed down by the amount of material and time required. This is exactly where the SMGWplus control concept steps in.
