Rapidly designing and deploying machines ready for integration into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is challenging. IIoT-enabled machines must support fast commissioning of machine-to-machine, machine- to-plant, and machine-to-cloud communication and coordination. That demands a comprehensive solution. It needs to include a complete array of control, interface, and communication modules. Scalability is a must.
It should support simplified installation for rapid deployment. Finally, it must easily integrate into a multi-vendor environment to support legacy equipment. The reward is greater operational efficiency across all levels of the organization and throughout the machines’ lifecycles. This article reviews how the motor control options from Schneider Electric provide designers with end-to-end
automation solutions. It presents the features and benefits of Altistart soft starters, Altivar drives, Modicon Ethernet switches and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), Harmony control relays, and PowerPacT circuit breakers. It then details how the TeSys island system elements support comprehensive solutions and integrates easily with Rockwell Studio 5000 and Siemens TIA Portal environments to support legacy machines and closes by
