From iron and steel to cement, from water treatment plants to mining, the main driving force of heavy industrial processes is electric motors. In a facility with hundreds of electric motors driving giant conveyor belts, turning massive mixers, and pumping high-tonnage liquids, operating these motors manually or independently of each other leads to technical chaos. Energizing the motors in the system, protecting them against overcurrents, and managing their operating scenarios from a central point is possible thanks to Motor Control Panels (MCC - Motor Control Center). As Şalt Otomasyon, we custom-size and manufacture MCC panels that drive and protect the motors constituting the muscle power of your facility at the highest safety standards, tailored to the process needs of your business.
The transformation of an MCC panel from a mere pile of switchgear into a smart production center depends on the communication network it establishes with the digital brain it is integrated with, namely the PLC Control Panels. Which motor will step in when, whose rpm will be increased, or what kind of emergency stop scenario the system will execute in the event of a malfunction are determined by the algorithms written to the PLC units. In systems designed with Şalt Otomasyon engineering, MCC and PLC units communicate over industrial networks (Profinet, Profibus, etc.) with millisecond response times. This flawless harmony allows operators to manage thousands of motors autonomously from a single screen while minimizing mechanical wear and fault downtimes.
The high inrush currents drawn by motors at startup in heavy industry and potential short circuits push the mechanical and thermal durability of the panel to the absolute limit. While ordinary panels carry great risks under such aggressive loads, fully type-tested Siemens Sivacon S8 Panels, which have proven their worth worldwide, are the greatest guarantee of safety. In the MCC panels it builds with its approved Siemens partnership, Şalt Otomasyon designs motor outputs as semi-withdrawable or fully withdrawable modules. Thanks to this, a faulty motor drive or contactor module can be replaced in seconds while the system as a whole continues to operate and produce.
Controlling the mechanical load of your facility most efficiently and preparing it for the Industry 4.0 norms of the future depends on integrated projects where hardware and software are professionally managed from a single source. Thanks to our comprehensive panel manufacturing and automation capability, we test the automation panels and MCC systems powering your facility in our own workshop and ship them to the field in a "plug-and-play" format. We are always your solution partner with our engineering experience to free your facility from manual labor, maximize safety, and make your motors smart.
