EPower controllers use the newest
technologies and innovations to manage your process and
reduce your energy costs. On every level they bring you
the flexibility you need to best meet your requirements now
and in the future. Let us look after your power control for
you and give you the peace of mind that you have the best
for your process - even as it changes.
Flexibility - advanced
technologies in harmony with modularity and ease of use to
deliver your power control needs
Efficiency - world class
power control with innovative features to minimize your
energy costs with exceptional process performance
Peace of mind - a power
controller that will bring you return on investment and can
be adapted in the future if your requirements change - one
product for all solutions.
Revolutionary modularity and
configurability to meet your needs...
-
Easy ordering, configuration and
maintenance through modular design
-
If your requirements change
EPower controller can be easily adapted to meet your
needs
-
Minimum spares holding - many
options configurable through a common driver module e.g.
firing mode, load, phases, control etc.
-
Up to four power control modules
provide single and multi-phase control with seven
configuration options.
Software configurable options:
A single driver module can support
up to four power modules - and hence four independent
control loops. Power modules are available in current
ratings covering a range from 100A to 400A. The driver
module itself supports options boards to give you additional
flexibility in your solution:
-
Communications - RS485 Modbus RTU, Profibus,
DeviceNet® and Modbus TCP network protocols
-
Predictive Load Management (PLM)
(patent pending) - A powerful feature to effectively
manage your power requirements across multiple machines
to save on your energy costs.
-
Flexible I/O - The driver module supports standard
I/O and up to three additional I/O boards with analog
inputs, analog outputs, digital I/O and relay outputs.
The EPower Controller has been
designed for easy configuration and modification. The front,
integral display has a “QuickStart” facility that leads the
user through initial set up in a series of simple steps. To
further save engineering this QuickStart code can be
specified with your order and the instrument shipped
pre-configured.
More advanced configuration can be
achieved utilizing iTools PC configuration software – which
provides the significant assistance of graphical wiring
tools and downloadable function blocks to minimize
engineering time and cost.
Once you have created your
application you can easily save and clone your work – either
as a back-up or to download to multiple instruments that
need the same or similar configuration – keeping your work
safe and save repeat engineering costs.
-
“QuickStart” for easy
commissioning
-
Easy save and clone of
configuration
-
Advanced graphical wiring

Predictive Load Management
- the best innovation for energy
management
You can reduce your energy costs
across your plant by utilizing Predictive Load Management
(patent pending) functionality within the EPower
controller. This new feature provides a better distribution
of energy across different loads in your installation, by
managing the priority and, if necessary, load shedding.
The EPower controller prevents
overshoot of the nominal power. This will keep you within
the limits of your electrical contract for your installation
and prevent increases in energy tariffs imposed by your
supplier. Unlike other software offering this type of
feature, Predictive Load Management anticipates your energy
usage rather than just reacting when you have already
exceeded your tariff peak.
Predictive Load Management uses Load
Sharing and Load Shedding techniques.
Using EPower controllers with Predictive
Load Management could well be one of the best value
decisions you could make for your plant.
Efficiency through advanced technologies
EPower Controllers have measurement
accuracy, functionality and innovation that will deliver you
extraordinary power control to help your process,
environment and budget.
-
Measurement accuracy (better
than 1%) to help save energy Load management for better
distribution of energy and to minimize peak energy usage
costs
-
Reduce energy bills and other
costs with a selection of advanced firing modes to best
suit your load type:
