ABB MOTOR PROTECTION AND CONTROL 11/3

—

Flexible motor management system

Proven in use around the world

Unplanned or sudden motor stops can lead to costly faults in process sequences.

ABB's Universal Motor Controllers stand for reliable motor protection, motor control,
fieldbus and Ethernet communication and fault diagnosis. The UMC is used and
trusted in countless applications with thousands of devices installed worldwide.

Optimal solution for motor control center applications Open communication
ABB's UMC is a flexible, modular and expandable motor The UMC is equipped with an interface for mounting a
management system for constant-speed, low-voltage range communication adapter. Selecting the relevant adapter
