VSDs offer several advantages over fixed speed, uncontrolled motors, in addition to significant energy efficiency gains, reduced overall system wear and optimal process control and supervision. They can reduce energy consumption by controlling the speed of the motor according to the actual load requirements.

Turning designs into reality requires transformative fabrication processes with hundreds of sequential steps that are expected to deliver high yields with maximum productivity and minimum downtime, even as complexity and power demands rise. Precisely controlled, reliable high-voltage power plays a critical role in meeting these expectations.

Discrete sensor insights Machine vision and sensor technology can help manufacturers discover flaws during the inspection process and make corrections with powerful cameras. It looks for defects and we train the model this way,” she said, adding later this process can help manufacturers reduce costs.

Usually, it will be provided by the manufacturer and may even have a troubleshooting guide. Power distribution identifies larger subassemblies by name; variable frequency drives, robots, controllers, servos and auxiliary equipment can be seen as an overview. The PLC program can be examined as a guide to the system layout.

Now using Profinet, based on Ethernet, we have really a lot of the capability to do centralized control. Application classes are used because drives control more than one thing. It could be something as simple as a pump or a fan for a process control application, with a simple drive, typically open loop.
