WOOD INDUSTRY
RETROFIT OF TWO PORTAL CRANES
Innovasys was
the successful bidder for a project to retrofit two portal cranes at a wood industry facility in Arkansas.
Both portal cranes, a straight track and a circle track unit, were located outdoors in the lumber yard area. The
cranes had been supplied by P & H during the 1980s and were equipped with AC VFDs designed by P & H.
Both portal cranes were equipped with ABB ACC 600 Series VFDs with Crane software utilizing lead/follower fiber
optic load share technology. |

EIGHTEEN PULSE
DRIVE SYSTEMS
DESIGNED & ENGINEERED INTEGRATED
DRIVE SYSTEMS
ABB ACS600 Series
18 pulse drive systems. Economical harmonic mitigation solutions ranging from 10hp thru 600hp are available. The
18-pulse phase shift transformer connected to three AC input bridges reduce typical recifier harmonics (5th, 7th,
11th, and 13th).
DIRECT TORQUE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Direct Torque Control
is an optimized motor control method for AC drives that allows direct control of all the core motor variables.
This opens up AC drive Capabilities never before realized and offers benefits for all applications. |

DYNE & TEST
STAND
INNOVASYS DYNE & TEST STAND
DRIVE SYSTEMS
Innovasys designs,
builds and programs custom motor and drive systems for the dyne and test stand markets. With ABB's active regenerative
technology, Innovasys has built dynamic drive systems which enable energy savings by feeding the braking energy
of the motor back to the network. The unique regen control algorythm and filter provide extremely low current and
voltage harmonics along with fundamenal unity power factor. |

GRAB CONTROL
ABB GRAB CONTROL FOR CO-GEN FACILITY
At a Co-Gen facility
in Michigan ABB's Grab Control Solution is in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This facility burns the
Country garbage and in turn creates steam to drive a turbine generator. The generator then supplies power to the
plant and also sends power to the grid. Two grab bucket cranes equipped with ABB grab control and ABB ACS600 series
drives supply garbage to the incinerator. |

TWO GRAB CONTROL CRANES
BRIDGE
Spanned to straight tracks
Wound rotor with line shaft
Motor pot control infinately variable
ABB ACS600 75hp VFD |
TROLLEY
Wound rotor motor with line shaft
Motor pot infinately variable
ABB ACS600 25hp VFD |
HOLDING & CLOSING
Consisted of 2 x 120 hp VFDs, master/slaved
together
ABB Grab Control controlled both opening and
closing through the fiber optic ring
An RC radio controlled all four axes remotely
from an AC operators room.
The Grab Control automatically controlled
the 40% / 60% torque ratio upon raising the load which allows simple joystick raise and lower
The operator no longer has to worry about
speed match and load share through the joystick
The motors are complete with encoders
