The DCmodernization can occur at one of three levels:• Digital Front End (DFE)• Panel with DFE• Complete drive replacement- Both the TMdrive-DC and TM-Series AC drivescan be controlled from I/O or one of several localarea networks (ISBus, Profibus-DP, DeviceNet,TOSLINE-S20)- Control can operate with or without a digitaltachometer- Configuration of the control from the ToolboxMaster Control Modernization- Replace the dated Series Six or DMC with a newController and associated I/O- The VME rack allows wide variety of third-partymodules to interface with virtually any industriallocal area network- Controller is programmed in function blocklanguage using the ToolboxColor Touch Screen Operator Interface- Graphical touch screens for operator control of thedrives- Hardwired-like performance using a high-speedEthernet communications linkHuman Machine Interface (HMI)- Graphical overview of drive system status anddiagnostic information- Integral historian provides flight recorder-likefunctionality- DC300, Siltron, and SILCO drives transitioned to ACtechnology will eliminate the periodic expense ofDC motor maintenance- Drives modernized with TMdrive-DC controlsprovide more precise control and improveddiagnostic data- With the TM-Series AC and TMdrive-DC drivessharing common control hardware components,spare part costs are minimized in AC-DC hybridsystems- Open architecture of VME rack provides a seamlessinterface with the rest of the existing controlsystem- The Toolbox provides a common application forboth the controller and all of TMEIC’s system drives- Vast improvement in flexibility of the design,allowing the interface to evolve without impactinghardware- Diagnostic data for both process operation anddrive status- Intuitive interface for system status and diagnostictools- Historian provides powerful insight into processeventsPage 24 of 40© 2011 TMEIC Corporation.
