The white paper outlines industry drivers and the evolution of MCCs, including technology considerations, configuration methods, networking advantages, as well as benefits gained from real-world application examples. It describes the technology behind these capabilities, including advanced monitoring and sensing devices, and built-in network connectivity that allows access to process data from virtually every corner of the plant. Distinguishing itself from a standard unit, the intelligent MCC integrates three major system components – communications, hardware and software. While early versions of MCCs with communication networks contained variations of these elements, today’s solutions leverage a harmonised design that deliberately integrates these elements into a unified solution. Furthermore, with a lower installation cost than traditional MCCs, plus the protective, monitoring and troubleshooting advantages, integrating intelligent MCCs presents a major opportunity for manufacturers to capture and use equipment and process data to improve productivity and maximise asset availability.
