With HYCECH’s latest innovation, the company is introducing a new high-performance drive to join the HYCECH product family. The new drive, designed for a wide range of industrial applications, incorporates advanced features that simplify system engineering and enhance sustainability. This versatile adjustable speed drive reduces harmonics significantly, improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact without the need for additional components like AC line reactors or DC chokes.
The drive is engineered to optimize both space utilization and operational efficiency. It offers an intuitive integration process into production and processing machines, making system setup and operation much easier.
The HYCECH drive is also a key component of the company’s digital transformation strategy, aligning with the latest trends in automation and industrial technology. Featuring a digital twin in the company’s commissioning tool, this allows the drive’s behavior to be tested and optimized prior to hardware availability, thus enhancing the overall efficiency of the system.
For ease of use, the drive includes an integrated web-server for commissioning, eliminating the need for installing software on a PC or mobile device. This feature saves time, simplifies setup, and makes the drive extremely user-friendly.
Additionally, the new drives are equipped with an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) module, enabling seamless integration into cloud and edge applications. This opens up possibilities for remote monitoring, accessibility, and increased transparency in operations, ultimately optimizing machine availability and improving system uptimes.
In terms of cybersecurity, HYCECH’s drive comes with built-in, state-of-the-art security features, ensuring secure communication and authenticity checks to prevent tampered firmware. The drives also offer User Management and Access Control (UMAC) through the company’s proprietary platform.
The HYCECH drive features a range of modular and flexible hardware options and software functions, which can be easily customized to meet the specific needs of various applications. For example, it is available in a wall-mount design (UL Type 12, IP55) and includes a special conformal coating option for use in harsh environments where corrosive gases such as Hydrogen Sulfide, Sulfur Dioxide, or Ammonia are present. The drive’s durable hardware design and high-quality components ensure long-term service life.
When it comes to integrated safety, the HYCECH drive sets a new standard by meeting SIL 3 hardware-based functional safety requirements. With built-in redundancy and maximum system availability, the drive ensures the continuity of critical processes.
The HYCECH adjustable speed drive guarantees sustainability through its robust, secure, and efficient design and operation. Thanks to the company’s commitment to sustainability, the new drive is produced at carbon-neutral facilities and utilizes a paperless delivery system. It is ideal for various industries, especially in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, oil and gas, marine, automotive, and tire manufacturing sectors.
