Multi-channel platform with Bluetooth^® Low Energy and PoE capability addresses energy efficiency and convenience.

Electric motors are a powerhouse user of electricity worldwide, accounting for about two-thirds of industrial electricity consumption. The International Energy Agency reports that electric motors account for around 45% of total global power usage. Thus, improving the efficiency of electric motor-driven systems has a significant impact on costs for industrial and other electricity consumers. One way to improve efficiency is to move away from fixed speed motors driven by the AC line voltage to variable speed motor drives where a three-phase inverter is used to generate the sinusoidal currents to turn the motor.

The need for automation in factory and industrial settings will continually increase in the coming years, at the same time as the autonomous driving revolution.
