Data centers enhance power security to meet the needs of artificial intelligence

ABB is actively supporting the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) by rapidly deploying advanced power distribution and power protection solutions in data centers in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. High density artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are adopting ABB's innovative HiPerGuard medium voltage uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to enhance the reliability and energy efficiency of power supply. The power demand of artificial intelligence (AI) is 4 to 8 times that of traditional servers. Data centers need to upgrade their critical power infrastructure to ensure that artificial intelligence can operate reliably and on a large scale. ABB and its industry partners are launching a new medium voltage power protection architecture to maximize the resilience and continuity of the power system. Sebastien Surply, head of ABB's Electrical Power Protection division, said, "We are working closely with consultants and operators in data centers to

What should be the axial preload of motor bearings?

When discussing the axial preloading of motor bearings, several key factors need to be considered: the operating conditions of the motor, the type of load (static or dynamic), changes in ambient temperature, and the expected service life. Load type: For light load applications, it is usually not necessary to apply axial preload. In applications with heavy loads or high dynamic performance requirements, appropriate axial preloading can improve the stiffness and stability of bearings, reduce vibration, and help extend their lifespan. However, excessive axial preloading may lead to increased friction, decreased efficiency, and potential overheating issues. Environmental temperature changes: Temperature changes can affect the clearance inside bearings, especially for precision equipment. When operating under extreme temperature conditions, appropriate axial preload can help maintain the correct clearance and contact pressure, ensuring stable bearing performance. Motor type and application: Servo motors typically require more precise control and may

AI redefines medical imaging

AI redefines medical imaging Do you still remember the moment when Google DeepMind AI defeated the ATARI game? It not only mastered the small tricks we tried as children, but also defeated the world's top Go player Lee Sedol in the following years. Because Go requires a huge search space (unlike chess) and cannot be solved through simple algorithms, this victory marks a breakthrough for AI in truly learning intuition and humanoid intelligence. In recent years, AI has gradually moved from laboratory research to practical applications, especially in the medical industry. Although current AI is far from reaching the level of "General Artificial Intelligence" (AGI), it has made significant progress in enhancing medical imaging diagnosis such as X-rays, MRI, and mobile ultrasound. Through AI, the clarity and resolution of medical images have been significantly improved, and patients' time in MRI machines has been shortened. This

What are the issues with touch screen communication errors?

1、 Communication parameters and wiring issues 1. Communication parameter settings: Ensure that the communication parameters between the touch screen and PLC are set correctly, such as baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity bits, etc. Check if these parameters are consistent across all relevant devices such as touch screens, PLCs, switches, etc. 2. Wiring issue: Check if the communication cable between the touch screen and PLC is connected correctly, without short circuit, open circuit or poor contact. Confirm that the model and quality of the communication cable meet the requirements, and there is no aging or damage. 2、 Control address and data type issues \ n In the touch screen program, check if the address and data type of the control match exactly with the corresponding address and type in the PLC. Incorrect address or data type settings can result in incorrect data transmission or

ABB Robot External Axis PID Online Debugging

When running the guide rail or outer shaft motor for the first time, there may be external shaft shaking or unstable operation due to different corresponding loads. At this point, it is necessary to adjust the PID parameters of the outer shaft. You can enter the teaching pendant - Configuration - Theme Motion Lag Control Master0 and select the corresponding outer axis for parameter adjustment. Generally, the first step is to adjust Kv (speed gain). Increasing Kv can increase the stiffness of the servo, and excessively high Kv can cause external shaft vibration. Secondly, adjust Kp (position gain). Increasing Kp will improve the external axis responsiveness, and excessive Kp can easily cause oscillation. Increasing Ti (integration time) can reduce overshoot. All modifications to the values here require a restart to take effect.     For the convenience of online debugging, the following code can be

Explore the 5 main advantages of digital substations

Digital substations have significantly improved safety and reduced electrical hazards commonly found in traditional substations. In traditional substations, using copper cables to transmit signals from the switch station to the control room poses potential safety risks, especially when connecting current and voltage transformers. Every copper wire has the potential to cause electric shock. In digital substations, current and voltage transformers are replaced with LPIT (Low Power Transformer), providing higher safety and reliability. Unlike traditional transformers, LPIT does not have electrical signal output; Instead, the measured current and voltage are transmitted to a fully digital energy meter (digital energy meter). One of the significant advantages of digital substations is the elimination of electrical connections between high-voltage equipment and protection and control systems. The reduction of electrical connection points minimizes the risk of manual contact current to the greatest extent possible. By reducing potential risks, digital substations
