The EMS features direct motor start, reverse motor start, motor protection and safe shutdown. By reducing the overall component count and using tool-free, push-in technology, the wiring costs in comparison with conventional switchgear devices may be reduced by up to 60% and the proportion of hardware components required by up to 70%.
Due to the wide-range overload protection feature of the EMS device, two current range models are needed; the AC-53a (0.18 to 6.5A) and the AC-51 (9A). In addition, the integrated hybrid circuitry operates virtually wear-free, increasing predicted lifespan compared with conventional switchgear devices, providing machine builders with additional reliability.
With a width of 30mm, it also saves valuable space in the control cabinet compared to conventional 45mm models. The main fields of application for the EMS, which achieves outputs of between 0.06 and 3kW, include conveyor systems for machine handling and logistics and packaging equipment.
