Abstract

The integration of intelligent devices, device-level networks, and software into motor control systems can deliver improved diagnostics, early warnings for increased system reliability, design flexibility and simplified wiring. Remote access to motor control information also affords an opportunity for reduced exposure to hazardous voltages and improved personnel safety during startup and troubleshooting. This paper explores the communication cable requirements, intelligent devices, and software required by this new technology, and reviews the issues, changes in thinking, and advantages that were found during the installation and startup of a plant system
