Advanced Speed Search: Detects motor speed during coasting (e.g., power loss) and restarts directly without stopping, reducing downtime by up to 30%.
Dual Detection Modes: Combines back EMF voltage estimation (for short power interruptions) and DC current injection (for complete power loss) for versatile operation.
Rugged Design: Industrial-grade construction (IP20 protection) resists dust, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations.
Flexible Integration: Supports modular I/O expansion and multiple communication protocols for seamless integration with HMIs, SCADA systems, and IoT platforms.
The YASKAWA PS-02 is a high-performance PLC module designed for industrial automation, specializing in motor control and system integration. Engineered for reliability, the PS-02 features advanced speed search technology that detects rotating motor shafts (e.g., coasting during power outages) to enable seamless restart without manual intervention. This capability reduces downtime and enhances operational efficiency in dynamic industrial environments. The YASKAWA PS-02 supports flexible connectivity with industrial networks, making it ideal for applications requiring precise motor control, real-time monitoring, and rapid system response.
