AutoMax Distributed Power System Overview
Modular design ensures upward and downward compatibility of most system
components. Retrofits to existing installations are easy to do because UDC modules
are compatible with all AutoMax Processors and can even be mixed with existing
Reliance drive control modules in the same rack. In most cases, the AutoMax
Distributed Power System can be used to upgrade existing drives from other
manufacturers.
