IndustrialIT for Drives

IndustrialIT

As a key element of its business strategy, ABB hascommitted to a broad program of productdevelopment and positioning under the IndustrialIT

umbrella. This initiative is geared toward increasingstandardization of ABB products as the 'buildingblocks' of larger solutions, while incorporating infunctionality that will allow multiple products tointeract seamlessly as components of real-timeautomation and information systems.

Why is this important for you? You can think ofyour business as two types of processes:

Operational, which represents all of the processesrequired converting raw materials into high qualityproducts while minimizing waste.Asset management representing all the processesrequired to keep your plant operating andmaintained, optimizing your return on net assets,and reducing the total cost of ownership of capitalequipment.

DriveIT Low VoltageAC DrivesHigh productivity with low energyconsumptionLow Voltage AC Drives are used to control the speedand torque of a standard induction motor, theworkhorse of the industry. ABB is a major player inboth motors and drives worldwide. With the drive themotor has a smooth starting with no inrush current,which reduces the plant maintenance cost.

AC drive technology extends the motor speed rangefrom zero to high above the rated speed increasingthe productivity of the driven process. The drivereduces the machine speed and saves energy when alow capacity is enough. The AC drives made by ABBand used around the world reduce CO2 emissions bytens of millions tons annually.

Accurate speed control of the manufacturing processoptimizes the quality of the end product. DirectTorque Control (DTC) invented by ABB has improvedthe control accuracy and by making speed encodersunnecessary.

Through versatile connectivity the drives made byABB can be easily integrated with different processautomation systems fulfilling the requirements ofIndustrialIT.

Our offeringABB Low Voltage AC Drives power range is from0,12 kW to 4,3 MW for voltages from 200 V to 690 V.With a step-up drive practically any motor voltagecan be chosen. Drives are made for markets withboth 50 Hz and 60 Hz supply frequency.

The Low Voltage Drives series include models to suitvirtually any application or operating environment witha complete selection of enclosure ratings, combinedwith highly flexible control and communicationcapabilities.

Micro Drives are compact and easy to use. They arewidely used in pump, fan and conveyor applicationsin small industry and buildings. Small machinerytype drives look similar but they have morefunctionality and connectivity to suit to controldifferent low power but intelligent machineryfunctions.

Integral drives and motors are compact packagesfor speed control solution in harsh environments inindustries and utilities. In addition to ABB motorsthe drive can be mounted on motors from othermanufacturers and if needed the drive is availableas a wall mounted variant.

Standard drives for low and medium power range aresuitable for many industrial, utility and commercialbuilding applications like pumps, fans, conveyorsand plant machinery. For the same power rangesingle drives with DTC are suitable for moredemanding machines in industry like extruders,decanters, centrifuges, different metal industryapplications etc.

Regenerative drives are available for power rangesfrom 11 kW to 1100 kW. These can be used forapplications where repeated braking with highefficiency is required. This principle is also suitablefor continuous power generation as in windpowersystems.

For different process control applications ABB hasdeveloped an engineered drive system for multiplemotor line-ups. The system is utilizing a commonDC busbar design, which is cost-efficient with lessspace and high energy efficiency. Multi drives areused in different kind of processing lines like papermachines, steel mills, plastic industry etc. Largemultimotor systems often need a drive specific

EngineerIT EnergySaving and Efficiency

Variable Speed Drives save energy andthe environmentThe main reason to use variable speed drives inindustries, utilities and buildings are to improve thequality of the main function of the process. Goodexamples are: even thickness of a metal sheet,constant water distribution pressure or comfortableindoor climate in an office.

A very important additional benefit with variablespeed control is the optimizing of electrical energy inthe process. Most of the processes are running withvariable load and the variable speed control alwaysadjust the speed to the optimum and the energyconsumption is reduced to minimum.

Energy savings may be tens of percent whencompared to constant speed systems, which arecontrolled by mechanical ways like throttling controlof pumping systems.

ABB has been a leading company to apply energyefficient AC drives for pumps and fans, which aremost suitable for energy saving with variable speedcontrol. It is estimated that the ABB AC drivesdelivered 1991-2000 to pumps and fans contributeevery year to energy saving of 54 TWh whichcorresponds a 45 million tons reduction of CO2

emissions.

Our offeringTo make it easier for customers, consultants andABB own engineers to estimate energy savings ABBhas developed three different software tools:

Energy Calculator for Pumps is for comparing energy,money and environmental savings with variablespeed AC drives compared to throttling, on-offcontrol and hydraulic control of pumps.

Energy Calculator for Fans is for comparing energy,money and environmental savings with variablespeed AC drives compared to damper, inlet vane,two-speed and pitch control of fans.

Efficiency Calculator for Replacements is forcomparing energy, money and environmentalsavings with new AC drives, motors or both drivesand motors to old, less efficient drives and motorsinstalled more than ten years ago.

IndustrialIT - FrequentlyAsked Questions (FAQ)

Q. What is IndustrialIT?

A. This trademarked term describes the ABB groupcommitment to bridging the gap betweenindustrial assets and the information technology(IT) needed to make them work seamlesslytogether in real time.

Q. What is IndustrialIT Enabled?

A. This designation describes products from ABBand selected partners, which are equipped withstandard information characteristics necessary tosupport the component as part of a broaderIndustrialIT system. ABB tests and certifies thetechnologies for compliance at one of four levels -ranging from presentation of base productinformation in common electronic formats, toextended aspect data that may be exchangedbetween components to optimize the system inwhich they are working.

Q. What is an Aspect Object?

A. This unique software shell bundles electronicproduct characteristics (Aspects) - such asinstruction manuals, drawings, remote controlfaceplates, and configuration tools - into a“virtual” replica of the real component, formouse-click access to the information required toinstall, configure, operate, and optimize it. For acomparison, think of the CD-ROM provided withmany personal computer products - containingdrivers, fonts, connectivity instructions, etc.

Q. What is the Aspect Integrator Platform? (AIP)

A. This MS Windows-based architecture sets thestandard for all ABB and IndustrialIT technologies.The platform allows grouping of Aspect Objectsin easy-to-navigate structures tailored to the needsof operations, maintenance, or managementpersonnel - for configuration, support, orevaluation of each component within the contextof its larger system. The AIP facilitates real-timeinteraction between the characteristics (Aspects)of certified system components, and allows easymodeling of new objects into their individualAspect parts.

19 3AFE 64572491 REV A EN 18.03.2002

Q. Which technologies will ABB certify asIndustrialIT Enabled?

A. ABB has defined some 30 functional categories ofIndustrialIT hardware, software, and servicetechnology “building blocks” - which measure,control, power, protect, optimize, support, etc.individual steps in the enterprise value chain.Many of these relate directly to ABB productssuch as sensors, controllers, switchgear, safetysystems, etc.

Although Aspect Object technology is mostcommonly associated with plant or businessdevices, the AIP offers the same object-modelingapproach to finished products, raw materials, etc.- dynamically linking the individual requirementsof each with the productive assets required toproduce them. In the enterprise of the future, forexample, the process of ordering a newautomobile might automatically trigger a series ofdetailed events across the collaborative valuechain, ala “I need four whitewall tires, one V-6engine, and one premium stereo on hand nextTuesday to complete this order.”

Q. When will customers benefit fromIndustrialIT Enabled products?

A. Immediate benefit will be derived from the veryfirst product, as customers find all the informationrequired to install, operate, and maintain in oneeasy-to-use software object. As the portfolio ofenabled technologies from ABB and its partnersgrows, real-time integration and optimizationthrough the Aspect Integrator Platform willincrease in direct proportion.

Q. Will IndustrialIT Enabled products cost more?

A. Base-level “information enabling” as part of ABB'scommon group processes will have little impacton product cost. Significant incremental value willbe achieved as technologies take greater advantageof the licensed Aspect Integrator Platform, andcertified ABB products are combined as part ofbroader solutions.
