Variable Frequency Drive Systems
VFD-based motor control engineered around the operating requirements of the application.
Application Purpose
Motor Control as Part of the Process
A drive is not an isolated component. Its operation must coordinate with the motor, mechanical equipment, control logic, operator commands, electrical system, and process requirements.
DPES integrates industrial drives around that complete relationship so the drive system becomes a coordinated part of the application rather than a standalone electrical device.
Integrated Capabilities
Industrial Drive System Capabilities
AC & DC Drive Integration
Integrate supported AC and DC drive technologies with the surrounding electrical and control system.
PLC & Drive Integration
Coordinate commands, operating status, control logic, and supported drive information with the PLC-based control system.
Operator Controls
Provide appropriate operator interaction through the control and HMI architecture used by the application.
Electrical Integration
Coordinate drive systems with switchgear and associated electrical equipment where required by the project.
Commissioning
Integrate and commission the drive system as part of the operating equipment rather than treating it as an independent component.
Engineering Inputs
Engineered Around the Motor and Application
Selecting and integrating an industrial drive requires understanding what the equipment must do and how it interacts with the rest of the process. DPES considers these application inputs together when developing the drive solution.
Application Requirements
Define what the driven equipment must do within the process.
Motor Operation
Evaluate how motor operation must support the equipment requirement.
Control Architecture
Coordinate drive commands and status with the application controls.
Electrical System
Connect the drive with the surrounding electrical equipment.
Communications
Plan supported information exchange required by the control system.
Installation Environment
Account for project-specific installation and operating conditions.
