IntelliCENTER® software provides the ultimate window into your MCC. The software puts both real-time diagnostics and MCC documentation at your fingertips to maximize the performance of your MCC and related equipment. The graphical views of individual MCC units display device data and let you quickly view critical status information. The Integration Assistant feature lets you automatically build an I/O tree in the Studio™ 5000 environment or automatically populate the meter data in FactoryTalk® E

Our IntelliCENTER® Integration Unit delivers a common experience when you communicate with devices over the IEC 61850 standard. You can use the integration unit to unify power and process systems within the Logix and FactoryTalk® environments to create one operating environment. The IntelliCENTER IEC 61850 Integration Unit, the standard hardware aspect of the Intelligent Packaged Power solution, is only available in North America.

 Our SMC™-50 soft starters are available with a current range from 108…480 A. Our SMC-50 fully solid-state soft starters are available from 90...520 A. Advanced monitoring and protection functions, superior communication capability, and energy saver mode all help this soft starter increase efficiency and reduce downtime.

 Our SMC™ Flex Soft Starters are available with a current range from 5...1250 A. They feature integral bypass and flexible communications with advanced performance, diagnostics, and protection.

Our SMC™-3 Soft Starters are available with a current range from 3...480 A. They feature compact, true three-phase control in a cost-effective package. They include overload protection, integral bypass, and motor and system diagnostics.

 Our Bulletin 154 STC™ Starting Torque Controllers provide a cost-effective, soft-starting solution for low horsepower single- and three-phase squirrel cage induction motors. Our starting torque controllers help reduce mechanical and electrical stress on motor circuits and systems by limiting voltage at start-up. This avoids the over-torque and over-current conditions that happen when across-the-line circuits are completed, like when a basic motor control contactor closes.

The OneGear™ product line is the next generation of medium voltage motor control specifically designed to meet a variety of global standards. OneGear products offer greater motor control center and power control center options for full voltage and solid-state reduced voltage applications while supporting operating voltages up to 15 kV.

The medium voltage SMC™-50 controllers furnish, as standard, a full range of starting and stopping methods for a variety of applications. Its unique control options offer enhanced motor starting and stopping capabilities to satisfy your most demanding applications.

Our Bulletin 1503 Reduced Voltage Starters with SMC-50 Controllers provides microprocessor controlled starting for standard three-phase, squirrel-cage induction motors. These assemblies can also be used to retrofit existing motor controllers and are available as an OEM frame and components.

Our IEC Combination Starters include direct-on-line, reversing, and two-speed operating modes. These starters are rotary operated and include 22.5 mm command and indication devices. IEC style components allow for a more compact footprint and are available up to 250 Hp (300 A).

Our NEMA Combination Starters include across-the-line, reversing, and two-speed operating modes. These starters are flange operated, include 30.5 mm command and indication devices, and are available up to 510 Hp (810 A).

 Our ArmorStart® Distributed Motor Controllers are a cost-effective, simple solution to your on-machine architecture. These controllers use quick disconnects for I/O, communications, motor, three-phase, and control power while offering several communication options.
