Industry 4.0 and 4IR are generally though about in terms of networking and connectivity of machines, but of equal importance is the driving of embedded intelligence down into equipment and devices used in these machines. Intelligent devices and components take intelligence to the point of operation and back into the system. Schneider Electric’s Altivar […]
Making product comparisons is complex and time consuming when considering more than two suppliers. For inverter drives for example, the temptation is to compare prices based almost entirely on the kW rating, mounting method and IP rating. However, according to Schneider Electric, by including embedded safety other benefits are revealed. These include lower installation […]
Rather than a burden, a white paper from Schneider Electric looks at how the embedded technology used to meet changing machine building regulations and safety compliance has improved productivity. Safety was considered an additional cost to bear in an increasingly competitive market. Something OEMs and operators had to address, but so reactively. They would implement […]
ATV900 variable speed drives replace Altivar ATV71 from Schneider Electric The ATV900 is Schneider Electric’s new series of high performance variable speed drives (VSDs). It replaces the Altivar ATV71 for complex machines and offers a range models to suit most applications and environments. The ATV900 is part of Schneider’s Process Drives range. […]
Altivar Process is the new comprehensive range of variable speed drives from Schneider Electric covering most industrial applications with two series rated up to 800kW. ATV600 drives are designed for fluid management and processing and energy saving loads. These are often referred to as variable torque applications. The ATV900 drives are for high performance applications […]
