IEC62443 is the standard for “Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems” to assist in addressing the ever increasing question of online security with Industry 4.0. KEB’s C6 Router & COMBIVIS software have been independently tested and passed this standard with the certificate & data available on its website. First look at the C6 Router shows the body is only 138mm high, 116mm deep and either 35 or 45mm wide depending upon the model selected. All four models are made from rugged industrial grade materials – have a stainless steel enclosure that can be DIN rail or wall mounted and have no fans or moving parts. All model variants carry CE and cULus approvals, with an IP20 protection rating. Inside is an ARM Cortex A processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB project memory for free use and WEC7 Pro.

A secure router for Industry 4. Feedback devices are the usual choice to help with motor control, here Mark Checkley from KEB UK explains why sensorless closed loop control is chosen by customers to add value and a competitive advantage to their machines. More than simply rotating a motor, the variable speed drive has long been recognised as a critical piece of most modern machinery. It offers a gateway into the machine, capable of significantly increasing the performance of the machine as well as offering sophisticated monitoring of the process, e.g. highlighting the onset of mechanical problems that could be the source of unscheduled downtime. There are a variety of features offered by the manufacturers, which is worth looking at more closely to understand which would be most advantageous for them to use.

If you need to hold a load, you need a brake. The question is which type of brake and why? The first thing you need to decide is whether you want the brake to be applied when there is no power, or when power is applied. In most cases you want to hold the load when power is off, but there are applications like gates and turnstiles, where the brake must disengage in the case of a power failure. Power-to-energise brakes are also used in process control often in conjunction with a clutch to give a stop-start action.

Using decentralised architecture or moving away from conventional control cabinets? KEB’s new generation of DIN rail IPC is designed for this type of installation. Today’s modular machine designs require decentralized architecture. Conventional automation modules have begun to migrate from the conventional control cabinet directly into the installation. The new generation of KEB DIN rail IPCs is design precisely for this type of installation. The C6 SMART is perfectly tailored to the runtime environment and realtime capability with a powerful processor for performing complex automation tasks. The integrated micro UPS and spacious on board memory make the C6 SMART a robust, reliable system. The device takes up 47mm on the DIN rail and supports direct coupling with remote I/O modules using built in EtherCAT. A C6 Monitor can be incorporated to the decentralized installation using the SMART’s integrated visualisation support via a standard built in DVI-D interface.

Engineers of the future have built an electrically driven racing car for Formula Student. For the “Speeding Scientists Siegen” Racing Team (S3) KEB Automation is supporting the vehicle drive of the future: e-mobility in an endurance test. But how does this relate to auxiliary power drives for buses? “At the Hannover Fair 2012, we sealed our cooperation with a handshake,” says Kuno Winkelheide, KEB Applications Engineer in the field of e-mobility. At that time, the young engineers of the University of Siegen in Germany came to the KEB stand in search of suitable inverters for its electric racing car.

KEB supports e-mobility and the vehicle drive of the future

KEB demonstrate the benefits of its T6 APD KEB are visiting companies and demonstrating some of the potential advantages and savings the T Auxiliary Power Drive (APD) can provide. Book your visit direct on 01933 402220. The system can be adapted to suit specific customer requirements and associated drive functions, particularly applications in wholly- or partly-electrified trams, buses, trains, agricultural and construction vehicles and Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs). In the development of hybrid, fuel cell and electric vehicles, as well as the integration of innovative electric (traction) drive systems, electrification of auxiliary drives is important. Why? Because in urban transport, conventional vehicles consume up to 30 percent of the energy purely for the auxiliary drives and so the potential for energy savings is significant. Converting to electric auxiliary drives means improved energy efficiencies and greater controllability. Various applications on the vehicle can be controlled individually (e.g. power-on-demand) and therefore more efficiently, while optimising processes to meet the precise needs of the vehicle. This can lead to significant reductions in vehicle noise and CO2 emissions.

Suppress interference and ensure your drives work smoothly, safely and in harmony To ensure the stability and safety of drive assemblies, OEMs and machine builders can choose from a variety of mains- or motor-side suppression accessories

or combinations of the
two – to ensure drives
comply with specific
EMC requirements of
the application, says
Mark Checkley of KEB
Automation.
In many industrial environments, ensuring the stability of drive controllers is
sometimes overlooked. However, an EMC-compliant (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility)
drive assembly with efficient control cabinet and suppression system is the basis
for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of machines and equipment. It can also
extend the life of certain components used.

KEB drive controllers and sine-wave filters control energy flow In the EnWheel flywheel energy storage units from Stornetic, COMBIVERT F6 drive controllers from KEB control the energy flow together with specially developed sine-wave filters. The efficient and optimised use of electricity generated from renewable energies calls for an appropriate form of storage. In the new flywheel energy storage units (EnWheel) from the Jülich-based company Stornetic, the KEB COMBIVERT F6 drive controllers control the energy flow together with specially developed sine-wave filters. Leitmarkt Agentur NRW has achieved this task with the help of the EU-funded Quirinus project, which focuses on developing sustainable security of supply. This is ensured by high and efficient system stability in increasingly decentralised generation plants that feed their power into the grid on a fluctuating basis.

Five factors to consider when selecting a drive controller When choosing a drive controller for highly automated process plant and machines, a number of factors should be considered. In applications such as materials handling, textiles, woodworking, plastics, food and beverage processing, packaging, robotics and machine tools, processes are typically high speed with production plant, equipment and machines operating at high speeds, high reliability and in a stable operating environment. Minimising production downtime is critical, as well as ensuring the safety and energy efficiency of machines and processes.
