Schneider Electric has received the 10,000,000th Anybus Module award from HMS Networks. This award celebrates Schneider Electric’s use of Anybus network interfaces in their variable speed drives, which help improve performance and energy efficiency. The award ceremony was held at Schneider Electric’s headquarters in Paris.
Commitment to Sustainability
Schneider Electric focuses on helping customers reduce energy use and improve energy efficiency. They report their carbon emissions reductions every quarter, showing their dedication to a cleaner industry.
Impact of Variable Speed Drives
Jean-Louis Guillou, VP Drives at Schneider Electric, said that 42% of the company’s avoided carbon emissions come from using Variable Speed Drives. These drives help electrical motors run more efficiently.
Smart Drives for Better Performance
Smart drives are getting more advanced with each generation, doubling their processing power to enhance monitoring and control. Electrical motors use a lot of energy, but smart drives can reduce this energy use by up to 20%.
20-Year Partnership with HMS Networks
Schneider Electric and HMS Networks have worked together for 20 years to develop network solutions for variable speed drives. HMS Networks provides connectivity through various protocols like PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, supporting Schneider Electric’s products.
HMS Networks and Industrial Connectivity
HMS Networks, through its Anybus brand, offers solutions that support many industrial network protocols. This helps manufacturers connect to any network without having to develop their own systems. This partnership allows Schneider Electric to provide reliable network connectivity to its customers.
Future of Connectivity
As digitalization grows, connectivity becomes essential for efficiency and sustainability. Schneider Electric and HMS Networks aim to continue their collaboration to drive this transformation forward.
