  • Publication number: 20230275453
    Abstract: In an uninterruptible power supply apparatus, AC current, which includes a feedback component having a value corresponding to deviation between terminal-to-terminal voltage of a capacitor and reference voltage, and a feed forward component obtained by multiplying load current by a gain, is passed into a converter such that the terminal-to-terminal voltage of the capacitor becomes the reference voltage. The gain is set to a first gain in an iverter power feed mode and a bypass power feed mode, and the gain is set to a second gain smaller than the first gain in a switching period of switching between the inverter power feed mode and the bypass power feed mode, to prevent the terminal-to-terminal voltage of the capacitor from exceeding an upper limit voltage in a lap power feed mode.

  • Patent number: 11720082
    Abstract: A SCADA web HMI system dynamically distributes server connection priority lists from web HMI servers to HMI clients in accordance with order of assignment which takes load balancing into account. As a result, preliminary settings associated with connection priority do not need to be made on the HMI clients. Also, since the server connection priority lists are assigned to the HMI clients in accordance with the order of assignment which takes load balancing into account, the numbers of clients connected to the individual web HMI servers are equalized and the load balancing can be ensured. The SCADA web HMI system can reduce the operating costs necessary in client settings while ensuring redundancy and load balancing of servers.

  • Patent number: 11716044
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes an inverter, a current detector, a frequency analysis processor, a storage, a determination unit, a reference rotational rate change unit, and a rate controller. The determination unit determines a frequency at which a signal component having a magnitude exceeding a prescribed value has been detected among frequency components of a load current, generates restriction information for excluding a reference rotational rate for a rotational rate corresponding to the detected frequency based on a determination result after the determination, and causes the storage to store the generated restriction information. The reference rotational rate change unit changes a reference rotational rate of an electric motor so that mechanical resonance of the detected frequency is avoided based on the stored restriction information. The rate controller controls a rotational rate of the inverter using the changed reference rotational rate.

  • Publication number: 20230236584
    Abstract: When a general-purpose operation part (22, 23) is hidden by a window part (24), it becomes hard for an operator to visually check an association state between a field device (10A, 10B) and a hardware switch (3). If such a display state has occurred, an HMI server (5) stops a health check signal which is being output to a PLC (6). The PLC (6) detects the stop of the health check signal and forcibly cancels the association state between the field device (10A, 10B) and the hardware switch (3). Thus, a human error can be prevented.
