11/2 ABB MOTOR PROTECTION AND CONTROL

—

Keep motors running 24 hours a day

Secure uptime for your application

ABB's control products protect, control and automate critical business processes

to make any application more productive. Rely on ABB as the partner to provide
flexible, universal products. The Universal Motor Controller is an easy-to-use device
that keeps your application running.

24 Continuous operation
7 The Universal Motor Controller (UMC) provides comprehensive, electronic motor protection.
It ensures the motor is protected at all times, even if the control system or fieldbus breaks
down. The precise electronic measurement system enables optimal utilization of the motors.
Continuous trip behavior is supported by the long-term, high stability of the tripping charac-
teristics. A comprehensive diagnostic system facilitates fault localization and rectification
to help keep the system running and reduce downtime.

Speed up your projects
The system’s modular approach means it can expand and adapt to provide the optimal solu-
tion for any situation, with an entry-level device that fulfills requirements for most applica-
tions. All of the control functions required in the field are integrated and easy to configure
via parameters. Application-specific control functions can be readily achieved using the pro-
grammable logic system.

Easy to install
The universal and modular structure of the UMC benefits the entire planning, design and
maintenance process. It significantly reduces the amount of wiring required, as all the neces-
sary protection, monitoring and control functions are integrated into a single device. The
complete range of currents and communication: fieldbuses and Ethernet is covered in a sin-
gle version, simplifying planning, inventory and servicing.
