Motor control centers (MCCs) occupy a prominent role in control schemes, housing a comprehensive array of control
and monitoring devices. MCCs have moved rapidly to include the latest component technologies and integrating these
advanced technologies presents a major opportunity – to transform islands of data into useful information that minimizes
downtime. This paper focuses on technology integration methods in MCCs, and quantifying associated costs and benefits.
The iMCC integrates intelligent devices, device level networks and the industry-finest structure and bus systems for maximum flexibility to meet
the widest variety of applications and industry needs. It offers a total solution package with "intelligent" components and cabling solutions.
The iMCC reduces installation time and costs by replacing large bundles of field-control wiring with either pre-wired I/O or networking technology.
Total installed cost-savings generally average 10% to 30%.
