Product Overview for Intelligent Design
Saftronics provide a range of intelligent motor control centres that are BS EN 60439-1 compliant and either fixed-pattern or withdrawable design. The “intelligent design” minimises component requirements due to the integration of various functions into single intelligent devices.
Typical characteristics of an intelligent motor control centre are:
 |
- Control is achieved via a microprocessor based system
- Network technology is used to replace hardwiring
- Enhanced diagnostic or protective functionality, allowing the user to:
- monitor the status of all the motors
- monitor key voltages and currents
- ensure that the plant operates correctly and efficiently
- analyse operational problems

How It Works
Saftronics intelligent design works on the following principles:
- An intelligent motor control centre communicates with associated compartments via a network cable, which replaces traditional inter-wiring
- The systems PLC collects data from the compartments via the network
- The SCADA system collects data from the systems PLC(s) via a wider communications network
- The SCADA system displays information to the operators via an HMI
