OVERVIEW
The practice of placing control systems at or near the actual location of the motor installation rather than in a centralized
control cabinet has become a major topic in automation. Long rows of control cabinets with complex wiring, expansive space
requirements and long distances between motors and their controls are too rigid for today's needs and are often not very economical.
Decentralized Control from SEW-Eurodrive offers the perfect solution.
SEW's patent-pending Decentralized Control System significantly reduces the amount of wiring and equipment needed for installation.
The associated savings, especially in extensive production or logistics systems, is substantial - up to 60% less than conventional
centralized systems, as determined by a third party independent systems integrator.
