The protector has RS485 remote communication port and DC4-20mA analog output, which is convenient to form a network system with PLC, PC and other control units, realize the monitoring of the motor in the human-machine interface, and meet the needs of the chemical industry for the motor protector.

4.ARD2F智能型电动机保护器在化工行业的运行效果Performance of ARD2F intelligent motor protector in chemical industry

ARD2F智能型电动机保护器运用到化工行业时，给化工的自动化生产过程带来如下运行效果：

When ARD2F intelligent motor protector is applied to the chemical industry, it brings the following operation effects to the automatic production process of chemical industry:

（1）系统信息集中System information centralization

用户可以通过抄表的方式采集各个装置节点的参数，如：电动机电流、电压、电动机运行情况、电能等，用户根据这些信息实现了对现场设备的电动机运行情况实时分析处理；

User can collect the parameters of each device node by means of meter reading, such as motor current, voltage, motor running status, electric energy, etc. According to these information, the user realizes real-time analysis and processing of the motor running status of field equipment.

（2）智能化控制保护Intelligent control protection

化工生产过程中使用ARD2F智能型电动机保护器后，如果电动机出现过载、缺相、超温等现象时，保护器将及时终止电动机的运行，并对各种故障信息作出相应的指示，在电网故障造成电压瞬间较大幅度的波动或者短时断电又恢复，带抗晃电功能时可使电动机保护器重新起动；

When ARD2F intelligent motor protectors are used in the Chemical production process , if motors have the phenomenon such phase loss, over temperature, protector will timely stop motor running, and makes the corresponding instructions for a variety of fault information。The motor protector with anti-electricity shaking function, can be restarted when the power grid fault causes instantaneous and large voltage fluctuation or the short-time power cut and restored.

（3）故障记录便于现场问题分析Fault recording facilitates field problem analysis

在化工行业中，电动机发生故障后，应及时的把备用电动机投上而不影响运行机制，对出现问题的电动机应及时处理以确保连续生产，早期的处理方法需要花大量的人力物力还需要一定的时间才能分析出来，不便于应用，而ARD2F智能型电动机保护器强大的故障记录功能为维护人员节省了大量的时间，提高了生产的效率及系统运行可靠性。

In the chemical industry, when electric motor falure occurs,  spare motor need to been timely replaced without affecting the operation mechanism.The motor pwith problem should be dealt with in time to ensure continuous production.The early treatment methods need a lot of manpower and material resources and need a certain amount of time to analyze, really not convenient.But ARD2F intelligent motor protector's powerful fault recording function saves maintenance personnel a lot of time, improves production efficiency and system operation reliability.
