The Amazing Compacted Power of the Eaton DM1
In a typical industrial fashion, bigger is seen as synonymous with more power. The bigger the equipment to run, the bigger the power source that is needed and then the bigger the frequency drive that is needed to match it. However, what does one do when the system needs to be small in size, compact,…
The Eaton PowerXL DG1
Among Eaton’s variable frequency drives, or VFDs for technical short-hand, the PowerXL series is an interesting packaging. Take the DG1 model, for example. Responding to the market’s need for a VFD that is responsive to industrial needs and commercial efficiency, the DG1 applies a number of benefits…
Why the Eaton EasyE4 Keeps Getting High Ratings
As a programmable logic controller, the Eaton EasyE4 continues to be one of the top recommended choices. Put aside for a moment the strong reputation Eaton has for quality products, significant customer support and ongoing design improvement. The EasyE4 by itself is already a robust package right fr…
Maximizing Logic Controllers for Multiple-System Management
Programmable logic controllers provide the extra hands system managers and specialists need for automation, particularly when dealing with industrial tooling and machinery that needs to run 24/7 for different demands.
Setting a system with a single set of criteria is not hard; most of today…
Applying VFD Control to a Multi-Pump System for Greater Effectiveness
Managing industrial water flow or liquid movement can typically involve a chain setup for pumps, combining the pressure of multiple units in sequence. This is common with liquids like water that don’t compress and need increasing force to move through systems at a distance. To manage multiple pumps …
The Eaton DM1 is a Perfect Match for Conveyor Systems
As a variable frequency drive, the Eaton DM1 provides a powerful punch with a drive system that is both compact and at the same time versatile. When combined with a conveyor belt, the DM1 really shows its capacity and strength in providing the ability to run the belt system at different speeds witho…
We've Come a Long Ways with Interfaces: Watlow F4T
Analog programmer/controllers have been around for decades. Go into any antique electronics shop or part warehouse stocking old equipment, and you’re going to find everything to operate with including knobs, switches, sliders and buttons. For probably most of the 20th century, these assemblies wor…
Matching the Eaton DM1 to Modern HVAC
Every major mechanical system in multiple industries is seeing exponential increases in demand. Regardless of the equipment type, demand is being driven by higher capacity expectations, larger populations, stricter regulations and more. Combined, the cocktail of demands cranks out higher minimum thr…
Redesigning the Watlow F4T to Make It Better
Everybody needs a multi-function tool, something they can rely on that is a go-to resource for multiple solutions, versus just one fix. That concept, or Swiss Army knife, is the idea behind the Watlow F4T. The process controller already had a long-standing reputation for reliable performance, but Wa…
Misuse of VFDs Can Destroy Capital Equipment
Variable frequency drives, or VFDs, are supposed to provide advantages to operating electrical motors and related machinery consistently.
