Manufacturing Intelligence & Data Management Mitsubishi’s FA-IT open platform supports competitive global manufacturers Recognising the demand from manufactures to optimize their total manufacturing processes by using IoT, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has just announced its new FA-IT Open Platform for factory automation. Edge computing model Based around edge computing, the platform facilitates connectivity […]
Inverter drives in the water industry. As with most industries, water companies are following legislation that encourages operations to be more efficient. An example of this is sewage waste being used to generate energy. When implemented locally. it reduces the energy input of the process. Unsurprisingly, inverters or variable speed drives are […]
As one of Mitsubishi Electric’s FR-A800 Plus Series the FR-A800-R2R inverter drive provides stable winding/unwinding control independently. Due to embedded functions like “automatic winding diameter calculation”, “automatic dancer speed control”, and “sensorless torque control for perfect tension”, the FR-A800-R2R is perfect to reduce PLC costs in winding applications. Printing, slitting, coating, and twisting […]
The benefits of a reducing the number of suppliers are widely recognized across manufacturing and industry, with savings including lower development costs and faster time-to-market for new products. Mitsubishi Electric argues the same benefits can be realised by machine builders of all sizes. Typically, the overall cost of design, programming, development, assembly and testing […]
Inverter drives (VSDs) with an integrated PLC enable system designers to design out a standalone PLC in a wide range of machine application. This simplifies panel design and wiring, reduces size, and saves cost. In addition to providing local control, the PLC function can also be used for condition monitoring and provide machine data […]
