Schneider Electric’s TeSys Giga series of motor control and protection products, launched in 2021, have received positive feedback from the market and praise from users. Recently, based on the urgent need for intelligent operation and maintenance of users in the metallurgical industry, Schneider Electric released a new generation of TeSys Giga remote intelligent diagnosis (RDM) module, which once again injected strong “intelligent” vitality into the genes of TeSys Giga series of motor control and protection products. Enable the traditional metallurgical industry to “bear” intelligent and low-carbon “new fruit”.
With the proposal of the goal of reaching the peak of carbon and carbon neutrality, the metallurgical industry, as a “large user” of carbon emissions, is facing the test of accelerating the green transformation. However, the traditional equipment point inspection can not keep up with the pace of the digital age, there are many pain points such as high operation and maintenance cost, efficiency and low accuracy. Focusing on the metallurgical industry, due to the lack of remote communication and alarm functions of the traditional motor starting equipment, the inspection personnel failed to find the coil undervoltage, overvoltage and high temperature rise fault in time, and the coil burned and then caused downtime failure occurs from time to time, not only for the original complex, laborious and time-consuming equipment inspection work worse, but also may cause economic losses to enterprises. How to help enterprises improve operation and maintenance efficiency while improving production capacity through digital technology has become a thorny problem that metallurgical enterprises need to solve.
In response to the urgent needs of users in the metallurgical industry for remote intelligent operation and maintenance, Schneider Electric’s TeSys Giga series motor control and protection products have been heavily upgraded, and a new remote intelligent diagnosis module has been added. While solving the urgent needs of remote equipment maintenance for first-line personnel in the steel plant inspection, a more simple modular design has been adopted. It breaks through the fixed mode of traditional contactor product design, organization and user operation habits, and brings simpler replacement and selection installation to users, enabling the metallurgical industry to draw the development blueprint of “intelligent remote operation and maintenance”.
Visualizing fault records for life-cycle maintenance: Local fault records can be remotely uploaded to help users achieve remote operation and maintenance throughout the life cycle, improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis and greatly reducing the cost of human inspection.
Intelligent diagnosis and early warning, effectively reduce unexpected downtime: with intelligent diagnosis and early warning function, through local and remote communication signals, coil temperature rise, voltage monitoring, contact wear, system failure and suction times and other abnormal conditions for early warning and real-time alarm;
Flexible communication function, adapt to different system connections: support Modbus RTU remote communication protocol, up to 99 addresses, up to 115200 baud rate, through Modbus flexible configuration to achieve the adaptation to different system connections;
Compatible with the original architecture, quickly complete intelligent upgrade: fully compatible with the original architecture, modular design, users can flexibly choose and quickly upgrade, so that intelligent upgrade is invisible.
As a digital transformation expert in the field of automation, Schneider Electric leads the development and digital transformation of the industry with its strong innovation gene and keen insight into the needs of industry customization. In 2021, the TeSys Giga standard series products for the general market will be officially released; In 2022, Schneider Electric launched TeSys Giga S411 series for the new energy industry and S207 series for the railway locomotive industry. This year, in order to help the digital transformation of the metallurgical industry, the remote intelligent module was officially released, Schneider Electric continues to promote the motor control to a new level of “intelligent, efficient, safe and reliable” with innovative technology.
Zhang Fan, vice president of the low-voltage business market of Schneider Electric Energy Management, said: “Deep cultivation of local products for decades and continuous iteration based on market demand is an important embodiment of Schneider Electric’s local research and development strength in China. The continuous evolution of the TeSys Giga family of products is a prime example. Looking to the future, Schneider Electric will continue to accelerate the pace of local innovation, bring digital and intelligent minimalist experience to industry users, and show the strong power of China’s ‘intelligent’ manufacturing to the world.”
