SPAR Technologies Inc has introduced their next generation variable frequency drives Varitrol 600. Varitrol is available for low and medium voltage applications for power up to 6MW.
January 9, 2025 Industrial applications that run things like pumps, fans, conveyors, and compressors are responsible for more than 50% of the world’s total electricity consumption. One option to dramatically reduce that drag on resources is variable frequency drives (VFDs). These devices can adjust the frequency and voltage of the power supply, which can help improve the…
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.
November 27, 2025 Achieve Comprehensive Monitoring Across Diverse Energy Sources In industrial settings, effective power system monitoring plays a vital role in ensuring operational efficiency. It involves the real-time tracking of power quality, energy consumption, and equipment conditions. However, due to the varied nature of power grids, often composed of multiple energy sources and communication… Read More…
November 25, 2025 Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) have become essential across modern industrial and commercial environments—but what makes them so valuable? A VFD, also known as an AC Drive or Inverter, is an electronic device that precisely controls the speed and torque of an AC motor. By adjusting the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor,… Read More…
