Description
1. Real – world Case
In a large – scale power distribution network, the MVME162 – 213 was integrated into the substation automation system. The substation is responsible for regulating and distributing electrical power to different areas. One day, a sudden short – circuit occurred in a section of the power grid. The sensors in the substation detected abnormal current and voltage values and sent the data to the MVME162 – 213.
The MVME162 – 213 quickly analyzed the data, identified the fault location, and sent commands to the circuit breakers. The circuit breakers then isolated the faulty section, preventing the spread of the fault and minimizing the impact on the power supply to other areas. Thanks to the rapid and accurate response of the MVME162 – 213, the power distribution network was able to restore normal operation in a short time, ensuring the reliable power supply to consumers.
2. Applications
Power Systems
- Substation Automation: As shown in the above case, it is used for monitoring and controlling various equipment in substations, such as transformers, circuit breakers, and relays. It helps to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the power grid.
- Power Generation: In power plants, it can be used to control the operation of generators, turbines, and other power – generating equipment. It can optimize the power output based on the demand from the grid.
Industrial Automation
- Manufacturing Plants: In factories, it can be used for controlling production lines, robots, and other automated equipment. It can coordinate the operation of different devices to improve production efficiency and product quality.
- Process Control: In chemical, pharmaceutical, and other process industries, it can be used to monitor and control chemical reactions, temperature, pressure, and other process parameters.
3. Weight and Dimensions
- Weight: The MVME162 – 213 weighs approximately 2 kg. This weight is relatively manageable, which is convenient for installation and maintenance, especially in confined spaces within control cabinets.
- Dimensions: It has dimensions of about 230 mm in length, 180 mm in width, and 60 mm in height. These compact dimensions allow it to be easily installed in standard 6U VMEbus racks, which are commonly used in industrial and power system applications.
