iMCC ( Intelligent Motor Control Center) control switchboards are low voltage switchboards dedicated to energy distribution, as well as control and protection of motors. They are used in continuous and semi-continuous processes, in which it is necessary to group the motor starters together in one place for operational and maintenance reasons.
Integration of motor starters in iMCC switchboards
iMCC control switchboards make the work of operation and maintenance teams easier by improving the availability of the process, via:
• Control of motor starters using wire-to-wire cabling or via remote I/O located as close as possible to the starters and connected on the network
• Protection of the motors using an intelligent electronic protection relay. This provides more precise protection of the motors (analysis of operating conditions and alarm thresholds before tripping, etc).
These two functions can be grouped together in a single product, the electronic protection module. In this case, the protection relay module manages and transmits all this control and protection information directly.
Advantages of iMCC switchboards
iMCC control switchboards provide a high level of process availability while ensuring the safety of property and personnel. This solution decreases the number of process stoppages and their duration, reduces maintenance, reduces and repairs costs and optimizes process productivity:
• Reduction of process stoppages as a result of detailed alarms and diagnostics that enable staff to react before the motor starter trips, or react more quickly if it does trip
• Rapid diagnostics due to the availability of more detailed information on the stoppage conditions
• Analysis of stoppage logs using statistics from the electronic protection module.
iMCC control switchboards make installations easier to create, by reducing engineering and debugging time:
• Rapid parameter-setting as a result of local or remote downloading
• Analysis of phenomena via alarms, detailed diagnostics and stoppage logs (statistics embedded in the electronic protection module).
[Schneider Electric]iMCC ( Интеллектуальный центр управления электродвигателями) представляет собой низковольтное комплектное устройство (НКУ) распределения электроэнергии, защиты и управления электродвигателями. Такие НКУ используются для управления непрерывными и полунепрерывными технологическими процессами, в которых для обеспечения эффективной эксплуатации и технического обслуживания необходимо, чтобы пускатели были размещены в одном месте.
