Concept description
By combining CONTACTRON hybrid motor starters with
the IFS gateway, you can monitor motor statuses and
alarming via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Profibus, Modbus
TCP, CANOpen, and Modbus RTU. Being protocol-friendly
allows the Intelligent Motor Starter to talk to a wide variety
of controllers and control systems.
Conveyor systems can vary depending on what loads they are moving, speed, and frequency of stopping and
starting. Since these systems can vary in application, the Intelligent Motor Starter can be tailored for your
customer’s application based on number of motors, the size of the motors, I/O, and what industrial protocol they
prefer to use.
Managing motor data via HMI
The customer has the ability to create an HMI utilizing the
data that is collected from the IFS gateway. For example, if a
package or product were to get jammed on the conveyor line,
the motor starter would sense an overload and force a fault
condition. With the networkable motor starters, the fault can
be recognized where it has occurred and can be reset
remotely. This decreases downtime, maintenance costs, and
recognizes any issues that can be addressed in a preventive
manner.
