This service supports the analysis and setup of power converters and industrial electrical drives for application-specific operation. Based on customer requirements, available system data and operating conditions, suitable parameter settings and optimisation criteria are identified to improve drive behaviour, performance and energy utilisation. Data-driven and automated decision-support methods can be used to compare alternative settings and support consistent configuration of the drive system. The service helps customers reduce trial-and-error during drive setup and establish parameter settings that better match the requirements of the intended industrial application.
