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





Potential ways to save energy can be found in almost all sectors, like building services, conveyor belt systems or chemical processes. The life cycle costs of an application can be roughly divided into four parts: the initial investment cost, the cost for the operation and maintenance of the application, the cost of the energy required by the application and the disposal cost at the end of the life cycle of the application.
The “Beat the Clock” challenge proves anybody can easily connect a Yaskawa Variable Frequency Drive to a Rockwell PLC in 60 seconds or less. How much effort is required to integrate a Yaskawa drive into a Rockwell PLC?
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the degradation of the performance of equipment caused by electromagnetic disturbance. An example of EMI, is the noise on a microphone, if there is a cell phone next to it doing a handshake with a communication tower to process a call. In this example the cell phone is the source of the interference and the microphone is the victim equipment.
