ABB introduces ACS6080 drive for high performance motor control


for critical applications. The new drive introduces a breakthrough control technology, developed by ABB, that brings high performance motor control to demanding processes used in industries such as mining, metals and marine. The drive also enables plants to operate more efficiently and produce higher quality output. Traditionally, achieving high dynamic performance

and excellent power quality required hardware with multiple devices. However, this increase in components could decrease reliability of the operation. The ACS6080 drive maintains the same highly reliable hardware as its predecessor, the ACS6000, and in- cludes the new advanced control capability, known as Model Predictive Pulse Pattern Control (MP3C). ABB’s MP3C technology combines model predictive


control with optimised pulse pattern to modulate the semiconductors. This means that at every point in time this control can anticipate the best motor op-eration

BB has expanded its all-compatible drives offering to include the ACS6080 medium voltage (MV) drive


point by finding the perfect compromise between dynamics, efficiency and harmonic distortion. The new control enables system integrators and


plant operators to maintain stability, while reducing investment and operational costs by using a smaller drive or a smaller motor. The increased power ca- pability of the ACS6080’s single power module reduces the footprint of the drive by up to 20 percent. The new control helps to reduce operational cost in two ways: it is more energy efficient than other control solutions, and maintenance costs are reduced as there is less mechanical and thermal stress on the equipment leading to longer lifetime of the components. The ACS6080 controls all types of AC motors


including induction, synchronous and permanent magnet, without the need for different software. It can be tailored to any heavy industrial application, and has a power range from five megawatt (MW) to 36 MW.

explains the importance and benefits of the interoperability standard (OPC) for factory machinery


ree Technical guide from coding and marking specialist Clearmark Solutions (ICE) helps to explain the importance and relevance of Open


Process Connectivity (OPC) the interoperability standard for secure and reliable data exchange. OPC ensures an efficient and fully connected production line, no matter the number of different machines on the factory floor. OPC technology bridges the communication gap between different, (typically incompatible), manufacturer machinery on the factory floor. This interoperability provides ease of use and efficiency for all levels of


factory users with a level of clarity, consistency and cuts out the chance of lost or miss-communicated data. Clearmark’s OPC Guide, highlights the importance of clear and secure communication of data from machine to


machine on the factory floor. To learn more on how you can create a seamless communication stream within your factory download the free guide today www.interactivecoding.co.uk/guides

Renovotec launches spring promotion for Honeywell’s new Dolphin CK65 rugged mobile computer


“ T


his rugged computer has been developed for demanding warehouse and manufacturing environments. Our offer helps budget-conscious supply chain users who want to


acquire it” says Renovotec managing director Richard Gilliard Renovotec has launched a Spring promotion for Honeywell’s new Dolphin CK65 rugged


mobile computer, offering ‘five years maintenance for the price of three’ on the product in a move designed to cut the cost of adoption for logistics and manufacturing, supply chain users. The rugged Dolphin CK65 is built on the Honeywell Mobility Edge platform and runs


on Android. It combines twin touchscreen and keypad data input with real-time connectivity and advanced data capture and is ideal for users transitioning from Windows® to Android who are using both newer, touch-based and older, key-based legacy applications, giving the Dolphin CK65 the industry’s longest life cycle say Honeywell.
