Rockwell Automation Improves Performance of PowerFlex 6000T Medium Voltage Drives

PBUS-26-Rockwell-PowerFlex6000T-400.jpg

April 5, 2021

Industrial companies can now benefit from multiple enhancements to the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 6000T medium voltage drives. The drives now include TotalFORCE technology from Rockwell Automation, which provides precise control of speed and torque, diagnostic information for tracking system health and automatic adjustments to keep operations running smoothly.

The PowerFlex 6000T drives follow speed or torque commands very closely in both open- and closed-loop vector control modes to deliver the precise control required for high performance and large loads.

The drives also continuously monitor operations to track the health of electrical components in the drive and motor, and provide real-time diagnostic information to the control system. With this information, users can better predict maintenance requirements well before component failures and take action to prevent unplanned downtime.

Additionally, adaptive control features within the PowerFlex 6000T drives help isolate potentially harmful vibration and resonances, and automatically compensate for variances to help keep applications running. With load-observer technology, they also effectively reject disturbances when loads change suddenly, helping to keep operations running smoothly and increasing output.

Pfannenberg USA: New X-Series Cooling Units

Pfannenberg, Inc. has recently announced its new X-Series cooling units. The innovative X-Series marks a focus in energy efficiency and operational effectiveness for industrial cooling applications. Designed to meet the demanding needs of modern industries, the X-Series units feature an optimized control algorithm using inverter technology, developed from years of expertise. This allows for the precise adjustment of cooling power required to maintain the temperature within the enclosure. This reduces the start and stop cycle present in other cooling units, significantly reducing energy consumption.
