Looking for a smart and efficient alternative to dynamic braking? Look no further. The R1000 Regenerative Braking Unit is your answer.
The fusion of the physical world of production with the virtual world of information technology into Industry 4.0 is becoming increasingly important. The requirements placed on automation technology have been clearly defined: Decentralized intelligence and autonomous behavior, open communication standards, quick networkability and context integration in real-time.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the degradation of the performance of equipment caused by electromagnetic disturbance. An example of EMI, is the noise on a microphone, if there is a cell phone next to it doing a handshake with a communication tower to process a call. In this example the cell phone is the source of the interference and the microphone is the victim equipment.
