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…
Until now, there were only two alternatives for the maintenance of machine parts and plants: either parts were only replaced if they were already defective, or parts that were still functional were replaced at specific intervals as a precaution. However, thanks to Industry 4.0 and digitalization, there is a more efficient alternative to reactive maintenance: preventative maintenance. The idea behind this is to carry out maintenance measures depending on actual performance.
April 18, 2023 AutomationDirect has added new Murrelektronik surge suppression devices that help protect and lengthen the life of motors, contactors, relays, solenoids, and PLC outputs. These new surge suppression devices support a variety of applications and provide protection from voltage spikes and electromagnetic noise caused by inductive loads. New additions include universal surge suppressors…
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.
July 9, 2025 From outdated to optimized: how ABB helped modernize a Swedish rolling mill and how Proax can help you in Canada Kanthal AB, a leading steel manufacturer in Sweden, recently faced a critical challenge. Their rolling mill in Hallstahammar had relied on a DC motor and drive system installed more than 70 years… Read More…
July 9, 2025 Electric motors are the workhorses of modern industry, driving pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and more. Yet, despite robust mechanical designs, many motors experience unexpected downtime due to hidden electrical stresses. This guide dives deep into the mechanisms of premature failure, empowers you to assess vulnerabilities in your installations, and provides a layered mitigation… Read More…
