Mitsubishi Electric has upgraded the FR-F700-EC range of inverters with network support for BACnet, the most common data communications protocol in building automation and control networks. Introduced in 1987, BACnet is today the backbone of the vast majority of building services networks, and support for the protocol on the FR-F700-EC makes it easy to integrate the drive into building services automation systems for the likes of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning control.
The Hänel EcoDrive lift system for intralogistics tasks uses the compact Mitsubishi Electric FR-A741 frequency inverter with integrated energy recovery function. The Hänel Lean-Lift is a fully automatic, heightoptimised storage system.
Complex production lines and installations can often see key components located at different ends of a machine, in different rooms, or even on different floors. In such a decentralised system it can be difficult to debug a PLC program during commissioning or after a modification without being able to watch the machinery in operation.
