1.3 Application Examples
Danfoss has completed a wide range of applications in many different industries. This has given us a valuable experience that has influenced the latest
development of our decentralised products. In the following we provide illustrative examples of actual installations using Danfoss decentralised products,
and the benefit and value these provide for the customer in these installations.
1.3.1 Beverage - Bottling Line

Benefits:
•
Reduced switchboard space as all drives are mounted in the field
•
Reduced cabling as several drives can be supplied from same circuit
•
Ease of commissioning over the fieldbus as the protocol allows for transfer of complete parameters. Once one drive is set up, its basic program
can be copied to any other decentralised drive
•
The FCD motor performance is markedly superior to all other types
•
The FCD can be retrofitted to existing motors of nearly any brand or type
•
The aseptic IP 66 enclosure is ideal for damp bottling hall conditions
•
All in one box: e.g. service switch, Profibus and power looping
1.3.2 Beverage - Packaging Machine
Benefits:
•
Distributing motor controls in the application releases space for
other purposes in the switchboard
•
The number of drives in an application can be increased without
extending the switchboard
•
IP66 enclosure, easy to clean and resistant to strong cleaning
liquids
•
Same flexibility as with centrally mounted motor controls. De-
centralised motor controls can be adapted for all standard AC
motors, and feature same user interface and same numbers on
connectors
•
Profibus integrated
