Extend Your Signal

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 by David Sheets
kvmClass1, Division 2 KVM  Extenders from Pepperl & Fuchs are available thru Marshall Wolf Automation.  KVM extenders are small hardware devices that consist of a transmitter and
receiver unit.  KVM extenders provide the ability to send keyboard, video, and touch screen or mouse signals over long distances.  The KVM extender provides hardware safety and protection by allowing placement of computers and servers in a single centralized location, away from any environmental hazards.  This gives more flexibility for PC based applications and low end graphics found in standard operator interfaces.

KVM extenders from Pepperl & Fuchs are unique in that they are hazardous area rated for Division 2.  The extenders are available in three versions:  VGA to Cat 5, DVI to Cat 5 and DVI to Fiber Optic.

Marshall Wolf Automation is a full-line industrial automation distributor.  In addition to Pepperl & Fuchs, Marshall Wolf Automation respresents nationally known manufacturers such as Bonfiglioli USA, KEBCO, Euchner, Ac Tech Lenze, Teco Westinghouse, and Patlite, just to name a few.

WEG Introduces CFW-08 MultiPump Drive!

Thursday, December 9, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro

The WEG CFW-08 Multipump Drive, is a new system that allows the control of up to four pumps with one frequency drive!

weg cfw08 multipump driveBy controlling up to four pumps simultaneously, the WEG CFW-08 Multipump System keeps constant pressure in pipelines regardless of fluctuations in outflow demand.

In addition, the VFD (variable frequency drive) also monitors pressure and the level of the capture reservoir.

The new WEG CFW-08 high performance AC drive has the capability to control in two manners.

It can be operated with fixed control, where the pump with variable speed is always the same, or it can function as floating control, as the variable speed pump is changed according to an alternating schedule.

The fixed control mode allows the control of up to four pumps and the floating control mode allows control of up to three pumps. The system can also determine acceleration and deceleration ramp along with minimum and maximum speed limits for the driven pump.

“There are multiple advantages to installing a multipump variable frequency drive system,” said Jorge Velázquez, senior drives engineer, WEG Automation Division. “Among the benefits of the WEG CFW-08 are energy savings, extended system life, system default diagnosis, constant line pressure and pump operation time equalization.”

A PID controller is used with the auxiliary pumps start/stop logic to control the system output pressure.

The control unit on the WEG CFW-08 drive provides U/F control or vector sensorless, and RS232 serial interface or RS485 (optional). Engineered for heavy duty applications, controls start at .25HP and continue to 20HP.

Other features include minimum output pressure fault for broken pipe or cavitations and maximum output pressure fault for pipe obstruction.

WEG is a leading global supplier of industrial electric motors, variable frequency drives, soft starters and automation control products.
