Yaskawa Whitepaper: Lumber Mill Solution Upgraded with Energy Efficient Matrix Drives
Sawmills and lumber mills take freshly cut logs and process them into construction grade wood of all shapes and sizes. The process of turning a log into a usable piece of lumber has more or less stayed the same; the largest change to the manufacturing process is that it has become largely automated. In order to accomplish the advances in industrial automation, leading edge processors are incorporating variable frequency drives.
Facts Worth Knowing about AC Drives – Star and Delta Configuration in Field Weakening Operation Sections 4.5 – 4.8
Machines can create potential or kinetic energy which we want to remove from the machine. The dynamic characteristics of some loads require 4-quadrant operation. A reduction in the stator frequency (and voltage) by the AC drive allows the motor to act as a generator and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Motors connected directly to the mains deliver the braking energy straight back to the mains.

Introduction to Power Quality
More and more, electricity is being considered a product. Ideally, the AC voltage wave is a sine wave alternating from a positive peak to a negative peak 60 times per second (60 Hz) without any deformations, spikes or surges. In reality, different factors influence the quality of the wave.

Weidmüller’s u-control 2000: The Automation Controller
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.
