This industry, by its own admission, has been technologically conservative due to the high cost of down time for equipment failure. In spite of this conservatism, high resolution patterned magnetoresistive (MR) digital tachometers have very quickly gained acceptance with both the motor and drive manufacturers as well as the end user. The combination of this sensor and a magnetic pulse wheel allows five times the sensitivity of previous magnetic technologies utilizing a Hall effect sensor and gear tooth wheels. This technology, coupled in an innovative mechanical and electrical digital tachometer design, allows the use of interchangeable sensor modules, enhancing ease of maintenance and serviceability for mill personnel. The unique properties of the MR sensor/magnetic pulse wheel combination result in a high resolution digital tachometer with a high degree of immunity to environmental contamination. This improved reliability is extremely important in many mill applications. The purpose of this paper is to introduce this technology and to explain its attributes for usage in the pulp and paper industry.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":269467,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Pulp and Paper Industry Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129994509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses the resolution of economic, engineering and logistical problems associated with the replacement of \"outgrown\" power distribution switchgear in a large integrated pulp and paper mill. Also discussed are the problems and concerns associated with retrofitting switchgear, including specifications, qualification and certification of vendors, installation and start-up.

By retrofitting the existing power components with digital controls, all of the functionality of a modern digital DC drive can be achieved. Retrofitting can offer a significant cost savings over a complete drive replacement, since the existing power components, motors, power cables and cable support system may be reused. The benefits of an upgrade to digital control include improved drive response, simplified troubleshooting, elimination of tuning parameter \"drift\", greater flexibility in operating with different paper grades and orders, and an improved ability to control roll hardness. These benefits translate into reduced downtime, increased production efficiency and improved roll quality.
