Electric motors account about 50% of global electrical energy consumption *). In Industrial applications the ratio is even higher. Depending on the region and the industrial area, 65-75% of electrical energy in industry is used for electric motors. Therefore, electrical drive technology holds a great deal of potential for reducing the worldwide energy consumption.
The Drives & Motion division of Yaskawa America, Inc. is excited to release the new GA800 Variable Speed Drive for sale and shipment immediately.
The requirements for modern production plants are becoming increasingly complex. It is therefore essential that the drive technology used is the best possible solution for the task at hand.
Introducing the HV600 UL Type 1 Narrow Configured drive from Yaskawa America, designed and packaged to minimize required wall space, with extra features and options to fit specific application needs.
The U1000 Industrial Configured Drive package provides all the low harmonic and regenerative benefits of a U1000 in a UL Type 1 or UL Type 3R enclosure, with space for several commonly used options, such as reactors, circuit breakers, etc. This configured package is rugged and reliable, specifically designed for tough industrial environments. The U1000 is a compact, total all-in-one solution for ultra-low harmonics and/or full regeneration and is the ultimate choice for power quality and energy savings. Additionally, the U1000 delivers high flexibility and motor control performance to meet a wide variety of application requirements.

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.
