GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advancements in the precision control of motor and drive systems are enabling dramatic new opportunities for energy savings, process and automation efficiency, improved reliability and breakthrough product development for today's manufacturers. At Motor, Drive & Automation Systems 2012, March 13-14 in Orlando, Fla., join world-class technology leaders in power electronics, semiconductor and software-driven control, advanced application development and system integration as they examine the latest breakthroughs for performance improvement and explore what lies ahead for the future.

More than 30 sessions including:

Circuit Protection Considerations for High-Power Motors and Controls

Motors and motor controls continue to increase in complexity and power. One of the important design considerations that is commonly over looked is protecting sensitive circuitry from fault conditions. Coordinating overcurrent, overtemperature and overvoltage protection can help designers minimize component count, comply with safety agency requirements and reduce warranty returns resulting from failed motors and damaged control boards.

Leverage Motion Control Functionality with Universal Software Tools

Motor control is moving from a strict hardware and hardwired environment to a networked environment with software control. Combining several motors and drives in a coordinated way is often called motion control, and this includes synchronized movements like camming and gearing. The coordination is done in software, creating flexibility in changing cam profiles and gear ratios. By using a worldwide harmonized functionality for motion control, one can create program with less hardware dependence, a higher level of reusable code, transparent programs, lower commissioning, installation and maintenance costs, wide industry acceptance, and last but not least: reduction in training costs.
