Control Techniques Leads In Intelligent Drives
1 Nov 2006
Control Techniques is market leader in Europe, the Middle-East and Africa in intelligent drives with just under 50% of the market share, according to the recently published IMS Research Report ‘The EMEA outlook for automation components with embedded PLCs – 2006’. This is three times the market share by value of Control Techniques’ nearest competitor in this leading edge drives sector.
Control Techniques predicts that this lead is set to increase with the launch of a new plug-in PLC for the Unidrive SP range of AC drives, the SM-Applications Plus module.
SM-Applications Plus, available from September this year, uses a new, faster processor, typically delivering 150 to 200% more processing power than its predecessors. This improvement means that a position loop will now run synchronously with the speed loop at 250µs and allow enough spare processor resources for other tasks. Drive-to-drive communications also improves significantly as the module has more power to process data and to clear its buffers.
