Predictive maintanance functions in braking energy modules

The DC Link buffer modules Pxt, provide active energy management for servo and AC drives. These now have a new feature: monitoring storage capacity during operation.

This parameterizable function provides continuous capacitance monitoring of capacitor bank. Alerts are issued when a predefined minimum capacitance value is reached. This is done either via an LED display on the device, via a digital output or notification via fieldbus. This ensures that the usable energy quantity of the Koch Pxt units is always sufficient for the intended application during the operating life or early warning of predictive maintance.

More available power, a more stable energy network, safer faster machine operation, at the same time a longer service life and subsequently even lower energy consumption of the electric drive technology are the core properties that the active energy management modules Pxt from Koch.

The product family is also approved to UL and CSA standards, this a simplified access for worldwide use.
