MagnePulse? Digital Magnet Control0 pages

MAGNEPULSE™ DMC

Magnetek, the leader in crane and hoist motor

control, offers the MagnePulse™ Digital Magnet

Control for the operation of DC industrial lifting

magnets. Built on Magnetek's proven OmniPulse

DDC platform, this microprocessor based, solid-state,

DC-to-DC control combines advanced safety and

performance features to improve productivity

and reliability in your facility.

ADVANCED PERFORMANCE

• Digital control of the magnet's demagnetizing current

means the magnet cleans the load faster and more

consistently, increasing throughput

• Exclusive OmniBeam™ feature allows the operator to enable

any combination of up to four unique magnets to precisely

match individual load requirements

• Stepped current allows you to program the drive to

lift/clean a single slab or a stack of slabs, reducing cycles

and improving throughput

• Power loss ride-through continues to energize the magnet

to keep the control running and current flowing through the

magnet when main power is lost

IMPROVED SAFETY & PROTECTION

• MagnePulse DMC automatically removes magnet power during a

fault event, preventing damage to the drive and magnet

• Open/short circuit detection

automatically disables current to the

magnet if a cable is cut, avoiding

control and magnet damage while

improving plant safety

• Over-temperature protection

utilizes the magnet's resistance

to determine its temperature,

preventing magnet damage

and increasing life expectancy

• Digitally control the rate of current

change to prevent voltage spikes

and minimize drop time

• Password protection stops

unauthorized users from changing

the control characteristics

INCREASED PRODUCTION AND EFFICIENCY

• Reduced lifting current maintains a full load while saving energy,

lengthening magnet life, and increasing average lift capacity

• Efficient use of energy reduces magnet heating up to 50%,

reducing or eliminating the need for magnet change-outs

• Flexible control options include single-input, dual-input,

stepped-input, analog or serial current references as well as a

programmable input to maximize magnet and crane performance

• Twenty-five drive, magnet and control status monitors check

magnet current, voltage, resistance, temperature, DC bus

voltage, and control variables to simplify process optimization

ENHANCED PROGRAMMABIUTY & DIAGNOSTICS

• Comprehensive software provides superior flexibility and

allows for quick parameter changes — software upgrades

can be flashed from a PC

• Fully compatible with IMPULSE®*Link 4.1 Basic and

IMPULSE'Link 4.1 Wireless Diagnostic System (WDS) allowing

you to upload, download and monitor parameters using a

hardwired or wireless link to your PC
