Motor control centers (MCC) have come a long way since they were introduced in 1937 as a way to save floor space by placing several starters in a single cabinet. Modern processes and facilities now dictate that motor control centers should display a high level of intelligence as well. They must deliver vital operating information; plus provide automation features, optimal control, and critically fast communications to meet even the most demanding applications. Ideally, the best-of the-best must also save installation time and money. Siemens MCCs are designed as self-contained modular units. They come with rear-mounted, self-aligning copper stabs that firmly grasp onto the bus. Brackets also guide the placement of units, further assuring positive engagement with the bus.
tiastar™ MCC
Siemens tiastar™ MCC is based on the Furnas System/89TM MCC introduced in 1980 and represent the state-of-art motor control technology, with a modular, open architecture design. High performance and quality expectations have been researched at the planning stage and throughout the construction stage. The Siemens tiastar MCC has many features and options to meet your specific needs. Requirements such as the standard isolated vertical bus to fully insulated vertical bus and standard 22mm to 30mm pilot devices. Heavy gauge steel is used for framing and side panel; sections are separated by 14 gauge steel barriers that are formed to provide rigidity and durability. The modular units implement all the motor protection and control functions, determine operational, diagnostic and statistical data, and organize communications data between the automation system and the motor feeder.
tiastar™ SMART MCC
Siemens tiastar™ Smart MCC with PROFIBUS-DP Communications combines heavy-duty construction and user friendly features. These intelligent units deliver detailed diagnostics by communicating with starter units, variable frequency drives, reduced voltage soft-start units, circuit breakers, or power meters via PLC/DCS. This means overload relays, linked to the PLCs, can now deliver detailed motor management data at speeds previously unheard of. PROFIBUS-DP, the backbone of the system, greatly simplifies I/O wiring.
