Smart Operation Point

Short-term high loading of electric drives, in which a high torque is required at low speeds, leads to thermal loading. This stress has a negative effect on the life of IGBTs and thus the devices. Larger components are therefore often chosen to avoid premature failure, but this leads to higher production costs. It doesn't have to be like this. With the implementation of the Baum��ller dynamic temperature model, the capacity utilization and thus the thermal load of the servo-controller can be recorded. The output frequency of the power module can then be reduced online in real time. This enables short-term higher output power of the devices without any negative effect on their life.

Additional benefits can be achieved by using this effect in reverse: The PWM frequency can be increased during idle running of the machine; this reduces the noise generated by the motor, caused by electromagnetic effects.

The benefits

Drive can be dimensioned smaller

Or: Productivity of the machine increases

Reserves for short-term power peaks are possible (e.g. in shredders, presses)

Noise impact due to the machine is reduced

High torque at lower speed can be achieved - resulting in less component wear
