Yaskawa Whitepaper: The I’s and O’s of VFDs

Yaskawa’s next generation U1000 Industrial Matrix drive brings a synergy of innovation and green technology to the forefront of industrial applications. With the advanced simplicity of a direct AC to AC design, the U1000 Matrix delivers superior harmonic performance, full power regeneration, and application flexibility.
Linear servo motors contribute to improved machine functionality and performance with exceptional features such as high speed, fast acceleration, long strokes, smooth speed control, clean operation, low noise, and low maintenance.
What is the best way to power a fan array in a critical operation? For those who may not know what a fan array is, a fan array is exactly what it sounds like – a series of smaller fans designed to carry the load once handled by a single larger fan.
This video shows how to use the HV600 Bypass Setup Wizard to prepare the bypass for operation. It also provides brief instructions and reference to check the motor rotation.
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 HV600 variable-speed drive is engineered for use in HVAC building automation applications requiring reliable motor control. The HV600 features your choice of IP20/UL Type 1, IP55/UL Type 12, or IP20/Protected Chassis protection classes. Every HV600 comes with HVAC application-specific software presets, a Hand-Off-Auto LCD keypad, a high-visibility Status Ring for quick visual indication of drive status, and a real time clock for system accuracy.
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.
September 16, 2025 In the race toward smarter, more automated industrial operations, every microsecond counts. In response to rising demands for higher precision, speed, and synchronization across industries like robotics, packaging, and semiconductors, EtherCAT has become the standard for high-performance motion control. Its unique “on-the-fly” processing principle delivers deterministic, high-speed communication that traditional industrial Ethernet… Read More…
September 9, 2025 By Krystie Johnston Schneider Electric Canada is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to transform energy management across various end markets. To help buildings in Canada reach net zero, Schneider takes a multi-pronged approach to leverage AI to identify energy inefficiencies in homes and commercial and industrial institutions and monitor and adapt the technologies… Read More…
