Paving Roads with Respect to IGBT Modules with Harting

Without electric motors, without devices that work through electronic implements, with nothing to give them the growth and progress they expect to handle, industrial drive technology with its automated production processes would hardly be conceivable. IGBT semiconductor devices control high-performance electrical units whose connection to the required insulation is made through polymer optical fiber. However, this solution is space sensitive and sensitive. Harting offers users a new miniaturized solution option in IGBT control. Harting presented this solution at the SPS IPC Drives Fair in Nuremberg from November 28 to 30, 2017. Electric motors with up to several kW and even the MW of energy consumption are used for almost all types of industrial drive technology. At constant speeds, its control technology is quite simple. However, it is often necessary to regulate the speed of the engines, which in turn makes everything more complicated. Speed ​​regulation in the largest power classes is done with IGBT semiconductors. These can switch large loads using very low control powers. 

The signals necessary for the control of IGBT are transmitted with polymer optical fibers (POF) since very high insulation and tension requirements must be met. The POF achieves a signal-free and galvanically isolated signal transmission. The connection to date between the controller and the control board, that is, the control and the motor side, has been handled by individual fibers. The electro-optical conversion of the signals takes place in the transceivers of the circuit board, whereby the optical contacts establish the connection to the fibers. Each optical fiber has only one connection on both the controller and the controller board, on which the transceivers are located. With this previous solution, all the transmission and reception elements on the controller board require considerable space, which makes the board unnecessarily large and takes up more space than is raised once they have their place in the planes, it is, therefore, for the future, the solution is proposed by Harting itself. To solve these problems, They have developed a transmission principle that involves the relocation of the transceivers of the controller board into a connectable module and thus integrates the optical interface in accordance with the principle of "electrical connection and optical transmission". Harting uses Han-Eco® 10A series solutions in automation to plug-in electricity and as a system housing. The Han® housing meets the increasingly demanding requirements of the automation market and integrates optimum strain protection and strain relief for the fibers.
