XD SOLUTIONS / A Better Approach for Minimum Unscheduled Downtime

Intelligent Motor Control is an architecture that applies sophisticated control technologies with communication capabilities to motor control devices. This architecture helps to make better operating decisions, improve system performance, and gain operation efficiencies.

Across multiple applications, the electric motor keeps the industry running, from motion systems, ventilators and conveyors to pumps and compressors. Especially for manufacturing and industrial sectors, the negative impact of a motor failure can be significant to production. The most expensive motor isn’t necessarily the most critical: failure on a small, single mixer motor can be enough to cause a major disruption to a plant’s productivity.

Customer challenges:

Motors are the largest consumers of energy in the industry. It is responsible for over 50% of the total energy used by industries. The efficient use of energy by a motor is significant to the user in terms of cost saving, especially when there is a complex structure.

The challenge of not having a real time motor diagnostic information may lead to unplanned production downtime which can be as long as 2 days or more as users are facing difficulties with investigating faulty electronic devices like variable speed drives (VSD). This may incur a huge production loss to the company.

XD Solutions: Intelligent Motor Control

Intelligent Motor Control provides a continuous flow of valuable process and diagnostic data to your design environment, visualization system, information software and Logix Programmable Automation Controller – facilitating The Connected Enterprise and helping to increase productivity and minimize downtime while reducing total cost of ownership.

Smart Motor Control enables Smart Machines to connect to The Connected Enterprise. It converges plant-level and enterprise networks, and securely connects people, processes, and technologies.

Smart Motor Control solutions are programmed using Studio 5000® software which provides consolidated programming device and system configuration, operation and maintenance by minimizing the complexity and potential errors.

Benefit

Real-time motor diagnostic information proactively indicates when a motor is having a problem. It helps in monitoring the health and performance of each motor and allows operators to troubleshoot and identify the potential issue that could affect the productivity level effectively.

Smart Motor Control come with an Automatic Device Configuration which enable users to replace any faulty variable speed drives as quick as half an hour. This helps to reduce unplanned downtime.

Smart Motor Control allows users to monitor the energy consumption and ensures that the best motor performance is achieved in the most energy efficient way.
