VFD Maintenance Tips: Restarting Your Electrical Equipment after a Long Shutdown

With businesses around the world facing unprecedented pressure from the cost of energy and the urgency of climate change, a new report from the Energy Efficiency Movement shows that improving industrial energy efficiency is the fastest and most effective way for a business to cut energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The Energy Efficiency Movement is a global forum of around 200 organizations sharing ideas, best practices and commitments to create a more energy-efficient world.
New fields of application, new sensor solutions: The digital transformation of industry presents us with new challenges every day. In the development of concept sensors, customers and partners are involved right from the start – in order to make the best possible use of all competencies. But what does that mean for the product development process in concrete terms? Questions for colleagues from research & development, product management and sales.
Common in most industrial settings, electric motors are broadly grouped as those driven by alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). The two types of motors, each suited for different applications, have advantages and disadvantages.
Saving the Planet, and Money, with the Affinity Law for Pumps and Fans January 12, 2023 Reducing energy, this has been and will continue to be a hot topic in Canada. There are many ways to do this, the best of course is to not use power but we all know that this can’t happen…
February 28, 2023 Motor dynamics and motor dynamism are essential topics in the field of electromechanical systems, which deal with the study of the behavior and performance of electric motors. The study of motor dynamics and motor dynamism is crucial for the design and analysis of motion control systems, as well as for the control…
Stefan Lehnert recently discussed functional safety in hydraulics with Lukas Marschall. In their presentation, How to Successfully Implement the Requirements from Functional Safety on Your Hydraulic System, they consider regulations, product offerings and application examples with respect to hydraulic systems. The IH04 modules are the latest product offering from Bosch Rexroth. These modules are not yet available in North America; however, Bosch Rexroth is exploring how quickly they can make a certification for the US. Still, the applications and information in this article are relevant for those who work on presses or other machines and want to implement functional safety.
Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
