How would you even begin to find out? If you don’t have a collaborative architecture for monitoring and control, that question may be difficult to answer. To find out if your plant is operating at its full potential Schneider Electric has introduced its PlantStruxure architecture: a collaborative automation solution providing users with real-time […]
The British Food and Beverage Industry has voted a unique Mitsubishi Electric integrated communications solution as the most important technological development of the year. Unlike a PLC, this advanced controller can be programmed in standard C or C++, opening up the world of automation and control directly to non-PLC based engineers. “C” programming is […]
The E700 series inverter drives from 0.1 to 15kW are compact and easy to install. They offer an economic and versatile solution for a wide range of applications from energy efficient fan and pump applications, to high performance material handling systems. Included are an integrated USB port, one-touch digital dial control, integrated display, […]
According to estimates, motors consume 70% of the energy used by European industry. It is widely recognised that large energy savings can be made by fitting variable speed inverter drives to fan and pump applications particularly where valves or dampers are employed. See earlier article “Simplified guide to energy saving with variable frequency drives”. […]
Schneider Electric (Telemechanique) makes variable frequency inverter drives for virtually every speed control application from 0.18 kW through to 2400 kW and up to 660V. In addition to the standard wall mounting version many other forms of inverter drive are available for special applications including; open chassis; IP65; water cooled, for pumps with photovoltaic […]
