ABB KSD211B
The ABB KSD211B excels in:
- Manufacturing: Machine tool control, robotics, and conveyor systems.
- Energy: Power plant monitoring, renewable energy (solar/wind) integration.
- Automotive: Production line automation and quality control.
- Water Treatment: Pump station management and wastewater processing.
Case Study:
A German automotive factory integrated the KSD211B into its paint shop to monitor temperature and humidity sensors. By converting analog signals from 50+ sensors into digital data for the PLC system, the module reduced calibration errors by 30% and improved paint quality consistency.
