Danfoss Drives created a scalable frequency converter platform that serves hundreds of applications and yet remains easily configurable.
Danfoss drives are top performers in heavy-duty industrial applications in industries such as marine and offshore, HVAC, mining and minerals, chemical, water and wastewater, refrigeration, food and beverage, cranes and hoists, and lifts and escalators.
Due to growth, Danfoss needed to develop a new generation of variable speed drive solutions for motion control and frequency converters. Danfoss drives were already motor-independent, but the current generation of drives were tightly connected between hardware and application. With the new generation of frequency converters, the aim was to create a common base platform that could serve a maximum number of applications.
Danfoss is a frequency converter hardware developer and manufacturer. For embedded and PC-software development they sought a trusted partner.
Proekspert was trusted with two tasks: to develop embedded software that could perform a real-time control operation of the frequency conversion and a PC software tool that makes upgrading and configuring the device possible.
The project’s objective was to develop a configurable frequency converter platform that is adaptable for a variety of applications in different environments – so that the hardware and software would serve as many applications as possible.
For a more integrated cooperation, Proekspert joined the Danfoss Drives development team and began providing support with the design and development of software components.
We developed a scalable embedded software platform that operates drives in near-real-time. Danfoss Drives users can easily configure the platform and monitor operational condition and performance. We are proud we did it efficiently by reusing the existing hardware platform and most of the software code.
Danfoss Drives is a leading manufacturer of energy-efficient automation solutions. Their frequency converters are used in a growing number of applications. It’s only natural that the company is constantly looking for ways to increase the modularity and scalability of its products.
The scalable platform allows Danfoss to manage its existing customers’ growth, as well as service new customers. Danfoss customers can more conveniently configure, operate and monitor the operational conditions and performance of the drives.
The new platform approach helps Danfoss Drives be ahead of competition by increasing the custom configuration implementation efficiency, and bring the solutions to their customers faster.
The Danfoss Drives frequency converter platform is scalable and built to meet the growing needs of the end-customer.
„Besides being highly skilled software architects, designers and developers, they also react very swiftly when critical situations require attention.“
