Union Process now offers an optional data acquisition package to provide customers with real-time data that will be helpful in monitoring conditions in the mill as well as improving quality control and providing an easier method to do test comparisons. The software package is designed to interface with the Baldor VS1SP variable frequency drive, which is standard on most Union Process Attritors sold in the U.S. Now, with the optional Union Process Data Acquisition Software Package, the customer can monitor the following parameters: voltage to the motor, motor current in amps, motor absolute speed in rpm, reference speed in Hertz, torque in Newton-meters, actual motor rpm, agitator rpm and kilowatts. The data acquisition package can be added to any new or existing Union Process Attritor (either laboratory or production size) as long as that Attritor uses a Baldor VS1SP variable frequency drive.
