ABB argues that by retrofitting variable speed drives (VSDs) to centrifugal compressor applications, energy savings of over 30% in energy use can be realised in UK applications. Although applying VSDs to compressor applications is challenging than with pumps and fans, it can nevertheless be applied to both positive displacement and dynamic types. […]
Mitsubishi Electric Simple Motion module combined with an L Series PLC offers advanced motion control functions such as positioning, speed control, torque control, cam control, synchronous control and mark detection to be realised simply using parameter settings. A key feature of the Simple Motion Module is the way it simplifies system set-up by […]
The installation of ABB ACQ810 water industry specific drives has almost eliminated pump ragging problems at a major waste-water treatment works in Ireland. Celtic Anglian Water (CAW) is the largest private provider of operations & maintenance solutions for water infrastructure in Ireland. The company operates and maintains the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant […]
The ACH550 Series HVAC inverter drives from ABB UK simplify the speed control of motors in buildings for pumps, fans and compressors, and provide an effective way to improve air quality and optimise energy use. Fourteen HVAC specific application macros are pre-programmed and selectable without programming. The macros can be accessed via a detachable, […]
A QnPRH dual redundant PLC from Mitsubishi Electric UK was selected for a new drinking water plant as in event of a failure of the main CPU, the secondary system can take over within 21 milliseconds from the same control point. The Dee Valley Water (DVW) project to build a new water […]
