New VLT® Decentral Drive is presented at Drinktec in Munich, 14 - 19 September

27 August 2009
The succesor to the renowned decentral VLT® drives is presented at the Drinktec fair in New Munich Trade Fair Center, 14 - 19 September.

The VLT® Decentral Drive FCD 302 is the new generation of the VLT® Decentral FCD 300, based on the VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 platform. It combines the key features of both products in a completely re-designed enclosure, made for best fit on direct machine mounting. Simplicity and robustness have been taken into consideration during the design of the new VLT® Decentral Drive FCD 302, resulting in a real user-friendly product, offering high performance and the highest protection degree.
 
Decentral drives are meant for remote mounting, where the need for space consuming control panels is eliminated. With the drives placed near – or directly on – the motor, there is no need for long screened motor cables.

One-box concept
All options are built as part of the unit, reducing the number of boxes to be mounted, and the connections and terminations in the installation. Consequently, labour costs in mounting time and risks of failure are dramatically reduced.

Integrated 24V supply
A 24V DC control supply is provided by the drive. Separate supply terminals have been made for remote I/Os distribution.

Power looping
The new FCD 302 facilitates internal power looping. Terminals for 6 mm2 power cables inside the enclosure allows connection of up to 10+ units.

Tradition and innovation in the most modern beer brewery of Europe

The new Grolsch brewery just outside Enschede is a surprising combination of tradition and innovation. Here production managers are called “master brewer” and those talking about “factory” will be corrected immediately: we are here in a brewery! At the same time this brewery just besides highway A35 belongs to the most modern ones in Europe. Literally speaking all parts of production logistics, control technology and administration are connected in one big control network.
