Altivar Process – The Smart, Connected Variable Speed Drive

DCS Altivar Process The Smart Connected Variable Speed Drive 1 400x275

November 25, 2022

 

The next generation of variable speed drives, Altivar Process is designed to deliver IIoT benefits. 

Reported as the only range on the market providing a common platform from 1HP – 20,000HP in all voltages, Altivar Process is easy-to-use with a consistent experience for usability, functionality, performance, and flexibility delivered through Drives Services. 

These smart, and connected drives are designed to assist OEMs, system integrators and industrial process owners, to improve operational efficiency, profitability and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).

Benefits

Altivar Process Low Voltage & Medium Voltage Drives have built-in intelligence to gather data and share information at the enterprise level. 

As the First Services-Oriented Drive, Altivar Process not only runs a motor by controlling its speed but also allows for Energy Management, Asset Management (advanced asset diagnostics via EcoStruxure Asset Advisor) and Process Optimization.

B&R Automation: Cost-effective motor/valve control

B&R’s new digital output module X20DO4332-1 has integrated pulse width modulation and is a cost-effective alternative to motor modules. In addition, the module offers a dither function that prevents valves from sticking. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is mainly used for controlling larger loads, such as motors. Instead of using electronics to regulate a continuous input voltage down to the desired motor voltage, the motor is controlled by the width of the switching pulses.

Need help coupling two parallel shafts? Electromate offers a full family of Power-On Clutches

Power-on Clutches are used to couple two parallel shafts. The armature hub assembly is mounted to the same shaft as the rotor assembly. The armature hub accommodates a pulley, gear, sprocket, etc., to transmit torque to the second shaft. The field assembly is mounted on the shaft and retained by a loose-fitting pin or bracket through the anti-rotation tab.
