A New Dimension In Decentralised Drive Technology

A New Dimension In Decentralised Drive Technology

At SPS 2019, Wieland Electric presented the prototype of a new motor starter that adds a new dimension to decentralized automation in terms of size, safety functions and handling. The podisMS 5HP not only presents itself as the smallest decentralized motor starter in its power range, but also as the first decentralized motor starter with IP65 protection and integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) safety function. The drive solution, which can be parameterized without software, is also characterized by simple handling during commissioning, operation and maintenance and features a sophisticated thermal design which, together with electronic low-wear switching, contributes to a long service life – even with frequent switching cycles.

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.
