UPS systems are tailored to industrial tasks

A Socomec Sicon UPS product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 4, 2008

Socomec has designed a range of UPS solutions by focusing specifically on the industrial applications that they are intended to supply.

Knowing the differences between IT and industrial environments is essential for optimising electrical safety, control and consumption.

Not every industrial application is the same; and although this fact may seem obvious to specialists in the various sectors, it is not always appreciated by industrial product and service suppliers.

A popular misconception is that, as the same mains network supplies all businesses, whether in the pharmaceutical or heavy manufacturing industries, one UPS system is as good as the next and UPS manufacturers are distinguishable solely by the competitiveness of their prices.

Yet how many people realise that more than half of electricity costs in the semiconductor industry derive from auxiliary services rather than production?.

And that the differences between glassware manufacturers lie not in the modernity of their machinery but in their process knowhow?.

Fully aware of these diversities, Socomec UPS has developed a range of products designed for industrial environments and, more specifically, for the applications that they are required to supply.

Imagine a distributed network of nerve centres that control the operations performed by industrial machinery.

Controls depend on process knowhow and involve hardware such as computers, PLCs and sensors.

Delphys IP for AC loads and Sharys IP for DC loads are both perfectly suited to industrial environments and interface seamlessly with mission-critical control systems.

Pumps, fans and tools are common industrial process loads.

Delphys IP meets the need for high peak currents or sustained overloads typical of motors or variable speed drives.

A possible alternative to battery power is the VSS+DC dynamic energy storage system, which enables Delphys IP to consistently maintain the plant's energy quality at optimum levels.

Fire extinguishing systems and emergency lighting are essential for safeguarding people and assets.

The Emergency series is specially designed to meet the requirements of the EN50171 standard for emergency lighting and emergency power supply systems.

Logistics, quality, bill of material management and client management are just some of the processes that depend on ERP and management software.

Masterys MC integrates into IT environments and interfaces with servers, BMS and communication systems.

Electric switchboards, release devices and reporting systems are among the most common DC loads.

Sharys IP power systems from 15 to 200A, for voltages of between 24 to 120V, guarantee optimum absorption, flexibility and simple maintenance thanks to their modular components.
