Drives with a Variable Frequency (AC)

 Variable Frequency Drives (AC) assist mechanical equipment save electricity. The drive reduces power usage by using Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) as a switch to adjust the output power's frequency and voltage. VFDs are available for a wide range of mechanical machines on the market. In the industry, variable frequency drives are commonly used in lifts, stamping machines, hoists, cranes, and automation applications.

LGIS (LG Industrial Systems) is a well-known maker of variable frequency drives. The LG 1ph Starver IG series drives are ideal for commercial and industrial elevators. The drives are small and feature simple mounting options. The drives are also appropriate for low-cost applications in which the control panel's processing units are microcontrollers.

The drives also offer a versatile interface to a wide range of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). All you'll need is a programmable PLC and a communication cable to connect the two electronic gadgets. 

The drives also offer a versatile interface to a wide range of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). All you'll need is a programmable PLC and a communication cable to connect the two electronic gadgets. Typically, the cable is RS485 compatible.

The connection of the drive to the lift's control panel is simple; three connections are required for slow speed, fast speed, and brake operation. The drive and the control panel are also connected by a single electronic earth.

The drive connects a single-phase 220V electrical power source to a single-phase electrical motor. The drive functions as an electrical switch that regulates the power supply to the machine in order to attain various speeds. The drive alters the frequency and voltage of the electrical machine's power source, increasing the torque at motor starts. The enhanced load capacity and adjusted torque offer the motor an added edge at start-up.

Event Data Recorders (EDR) - The "Black Boxes" of The Automotive Industry

Did you have any idea that your auto could veritably well be observing on you from the moment you start it? Veritably many people do. The bias is called event data reporters (EDR). They generally only save the data for many seconds at a time, unless you're involved in an accident. Also, the data is saved permanently, so events during a crash can be studied. An EDR is designed to gather information the same way a transponder helps aeronautics officers from the FAA, NTSA, and other agencies piece together why a spurt airliner goes down. This is what news and safety officers are talking about when they bandy an aircraft's" black box." A significant chance of late-model vehicles having these biaspre-installed from the plant. Is not it a bit disturbing that many US motorists realize that such a device has been installed in their vehicle? Starting with 2011 models, automakers are needed to tell buyers that an archivist is installed on their buses. The National H

Modernization and Eaton VFDs

  System modernization comes with many benefits , but to make it work effectively, a plant must work with the right controls. If hampered with old ones, the advantages of modernization become lost as they go through legacy bottlenecks that are not responsive or able to handle the higher capacity of advanced technology . Breakthrough Mismatches in Systems Eaton VFDs make it easy for companies and system operations to modernize their system controls effectively and in ways that match the expectations of advanced changes. Not only do Eaton VFDs already come with the durability and reliability expected of industrial variable frequency drives in the first place, but Eaton VFDs also add new advantages that directly contribute to saving money, time and resources from legacy waste. Multiple Benefits Available If Configured Correctly Modernization is critical now more than ever. Aside from 2020, production and system support companies are already seeing an exponential increase in automa

Ethernet Switching - What You Should Know

  Local Area Networks (LANs) were once accustomed to the use of connectors like repeaters and hubs until Ethernet Switches came to be in the 90s. Connectors, as their title implies, are those additional pieces that make computers possible to connect . But the specific Ethernet Switches function at the OSI model's data link layer 2. Categorized under "network bridges" , these switches are unlike the also known router . With Ethernet switching, information transfer happens to all connected network devices regardless of which is which. With routers, on the other hand, the relay of data is restricted to a specific device in the network. In Ethernet networking technology , the term Bridges could take the place of Switches and the same applies the other way around. Although, a connector must be completely tested and proven to comply with the Ethernet 802.3 networking standard for it to deserve the title of being an Ethernet Switch . Ethernet Switching, although highly simi
