| Abstract
|
DC drive systems continue to be used in manufacturing
industries today, especially as an economical retrofit option for older
analog DC drive systems.
This presentation will give a brief overview of:
- Basic control theory for closed loop regulation
- Operation of a typical SCR bridge in a DC drive
- Considerations when commissioning a DC drive
- important steps
- digital drives vs. analog drives
- examples of old projects
-
Typical network architecture of drive system, control philosophy
-
Relevance of DC drives in industry
-
retrofitting old DC drives vs. total AC drive and motor replacement
