Mobile plant operator terminal
The Allen Bradley MobileView tethered operator interface gives plant personnel the freedom to take a machine’s human-machine interface (HMI) with them to make real-time adjustments to out-of-view applications. The MobileView suits maintenance tasks, machine setup or calibration activities, and other HMI applications that require the operator to see the machine. The inclusion of a hardwired e-stop button and three-position enabling switch also supports applications that require local safety functionality.
Safe torque off suits medium-voltage drive
A new option within the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 7000 medium-voltage drive helps manufacturers and equipment builders simplify their functional safety design and meet the demands of international safety standards. Safe torque off technology allows users to reliably remove power from the motor without removing power to the drive, enabling a faster re-start of the system after a safe state is reached.
