CONTROL SPEED TO SUIT
YOUR PRODUCTION PROCESS.
TM Engineering assists with the selection, supply and integration of industrial motor drives.
From conveyor speed adjustment to pump and fan control, a correctly selected drive allows motor operation to be matched more closely to the needs of the machine.

MOTOR SPEED CONTROL
INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
FROM ESTABLISHED BRANDS.
Drive selection starts with the motor, electrical supply, load characteristics and the way the machine needs to operate.
START WITH
THE MOTOR.
An AC variable speed drive controls a compatible AC motor by varying its electrical supply frequency and voltage.
A DC drive controls a compatible DC motor using the required armature and, where applicable, field control.
The two drive types are not interchangeable; selection begins with the motor and the application.
AC VARIABLE
SPEED DRIVES
An AC variable speed drive controls a compatible AC motor by varying supply frequency and voltage.
DC
DRIVES
A DC drive controls a compatible DC motor using the required armature and, where applicable, field control.
DRIVE CONTROL FOR
INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY.
The drive arrangement must suit the motor, control requirement, load and surrounding machine.
VARIABLE SPEED
DRIVES
AC variable speed drives for suitable conveyor, pump, fan and machine applications.
DC DRIVE
REPLACEMENT
DC drive replacement enquiries for existing DC motor systems.
ANALOGUE &
COMMUNICATION CONTROL
Speed reference control through compatible analogue signals or communications.
PLC & HMI
INTEGRATION
PLC and HMI integration for speed settings, operating status and alarms.
PARAMETER SETUP &
COMMISSIONING
Parameter setup and commissioning support for the specified application.
DRIVE & CONTROL
INTEGRATION
The control method and associated panel requirements can be assessed so the drive works as part of the complete machine.
SELECT THE DRIVE
AROUND THE APPLICATION.
Drive selection must consider motor current, supply voltage, load characteristics, overload requirements and the operating environment.
Acceleration, deceleration and braking requirements also affect the arrangement.
TM Engineering can help assess the control method and associated panel requirements so the drive works as part of the complete machine.
Energy savings depend on the load and operating conditions.
THE DRIVE IS PART OF
THE CONTROL SYSTEM.
Speed control can be implemented through compatible analogue signals or communications, depending on the selected drive and control architecture.
PLC and HMI integration can provide speed settings, operating status and alarm information as part of the wider machine control.
START WITH THE
MOTOR NAMEPLATE.
Send the motor nameplate, existing drive details and a description of the machine.
Tell us how you want to control the speed and whether the application needs reversing, rapid stopping or communication with a PLC.
