(V/f Motor Control Method)

The techniques for braking of high inertial loads to a stop traditionally involved either Dynamic Braking or DC Injection Braking technology.

This article examines a new load-braking alternative called High-Slip Braking (HSB). We identify the different aspects of HSB, look at what it does, how it works, and how it is different from other braking methods. We also provide examples of "real world" successes, and discuss the new technology's cost effectiveness.

Improving Operational Efficiency with Distributed Motion Networks.
This paper describes a machine control topology that can improve the speed of unexpected repairs by automatically configuring replacement servo amplifiers. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users can both realize resource optimization benefits from the reduced commissioning times achievable with a digital, distributed motion network.

Cost reduction through electrical CAE
Author: EPLAN Software
Posted: 09/01/2006
The automation industry is now at the foothills of another paradigm shift, the CAE revolution. This White Paper discusses the emerging role of Computer-Aided Engineering for OEM engineers and designers and recommends that to avoid making the revolution difficult, we in the U.S. adopt the paradigm shift and see its value.
