Bringing Reliable Control
To System Applications

In the automation of container cranes, tight

integration between the system drive and the
controller is a requirement. TMdrive-10e2’s
compact and efficient design together with a
multitude of LAN options enhance yard and dock
side crane productivity. The high-performance
networks provide:
• High-speed real-time control
• Full automation with no operator
• Remote connectivity for configuration
and monitoring

Coordinated drive systems are an integral part

of manufacturing processes in the metals industry.
TMdrive-10e2 system drives address all of these
applications by providing:
• High reliability, low maintenance, compact design
• Low voltage application from a few to hundreds
of drives
• High-speed communication featuring robust
control and diagnostics
• Strip transport or Auxiliary applications
• Continuous or batch operations

In the pulp and paper industry,

uninterrupted operation is priority
one. The robust design of the
TMdrive–10e2 heat pipe-cooled
power bridges provides superior
reliability and maintainability for
paper mill applications.

TMdrive-Navigator –
Simple Configuration & Maintenance
The TMdrive-Navigator tool helps you
maintain TMEIC drives yourself.
Engineers and technicians are
empowered to understand how the drive
works and what the drive is doing. Any
user can easily access current drive
expertise and know-how.

Desktop-like search technology links topical

signal lists, block diagrams, help files, product
documentation, change history, and user notes.
Windows techniques facilitate navigation within a
drive and across the system. The status of all drives
is always in view.

High speed data is automatically captured and saved

in the event of a drive fault. Users can also capture
high speed data based on their own trigger conditions
or perform high resolution real-time trending.
Fault data can be automatically “pushed” to key users.
The client-server architecture allows access to high
performance data from remote locations – with the
same resolution as if you were in the plant.
Wizards support tuning of drive functions.

Live block diagrams provide a real-time graphical

view of drive functions. Functions can be configured
directly from the graphical view.
Product documentation is integrated right into the
tool. Users can even capture their own notes to
benefit future troubleshooting.
