On-machine motor control

Machine builders can now offer customers a compact distributed motor controller that easily installs on the machine without an enclosure, and quickly connects to the enterprise network, thanks to a new family of Allen-Bradley ArmorStart LT distributed motor controllers from Rockwell Automation.

The motor controllers are ideal for coordinating conveyor motor systems used in material handling and packaging applications and other types of warehouse distribution systems. The distributed motor controllers provide all the advantages of on-machine architecture - a pre-engineered system that helps simplify wiring, speeds up commissioning time and reduces the need for extra cabinet space.
