Motors and drives: Are you advancing automation efficiencies with smarter components, systems?

1 Certified Professional Development Hour (PDH) available upon successful completion of an exam.

A more efficient motor in automation applications can help advance efficiency goals. A smarter variable frequency drive (VFD) also can add efficiency to automated implementations. Motion-control designs can help reduce friction. Don’t overlook overall system-level design for motion-control efficiencies that can advance energy savings, sustainability efforts, maintenance and realize other benefits.

Learning objectives:

• Calculate installed motor efficiencies and what new motors could add.
• Explore efficiencies that VFDs will add to automated systems.
• Look at friction and other factors affecting motion control efficiency.
• See examples of how system-level designs advance energy savings, sustainability, maintenance and provide benefits.
