EDC recently headed into New York City for a day of hands-on learning!

Our own Scott Sullivan led a seminar for engineers covering the basics of variable frequency drives (VFDs). The group explored everything from VFD operation and safety to troubleshooting, maintenance, and energy savings. Attendees also got hands-on experience with three different VFD brands and had the opportunity to ask questions throughout the session.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a great day of learning!

Sometimes the first solution uncovers another puzzle.

After upgrading this cable strander to wireless communication, EDC discovered the CANopen network was operating at nearly 90% of its available bandwidth.

Our engineers optimized the existing Lenze drive parameters and brought network utilization down to approximately 16%—without replacing additional hardware.

See how the team worked through it:

As a general rule of thumb, EDC allows approximately one hour of capacitor reforming for every year a drive has been sitting unpowered.

As EDC’s AJ Jameson puts it: “You have to pay attention to the voltage and the time you use for going through this whole process.”

Learn more about what happens to a VFD while it sits—and what to do before putting it back into service.

Another summer of learning, problem-solving, and getting hands-on at EDC!

This year, we welcomed Virginia Tech students Noah Collins-Siegel and Douglas Tran, who got to experience everything from CAD design and PLC programming to testing control panels and visiting customer manufacturing facilities.

We also caught up with former intern Aidan Conway to see where his engineering career has taken him since EDC!

Hear directly from all three about what they learned, what surprised them, and how their experiences are shaping their careers:

We’re getting closer to Automation Fair 2026!

This year, Anthony Fasolo, Ben Ferrara, and Bob Pusateri are making the trip to Boston for four days of learning, new technology, and conversations with others across the automation industry.

We’re looking forward to seeing what’s new from Rockwell Automation and bringing some fresh ideas back to EDC.

See you in Boston!

That spare drive sitting on the shelf is there for a reason—but will it actually be ready when you need it?

When a VFD sits unpowered for an extended period, the capacitors inside can deteriorate. Applying full voltage after years in storage can lead to capacitor failure and turn an unexpected outage into an even bigger problem.

Learn why capacitor reforming should be part of your spare-drive strategy—and how EDC helps make sure stored drives are ready when they’re needed.

Boston, here we come! 🦞

EDC is heading to Rockwell Automation Fair 2026, November 16–19 in Boston.

Anthony Fasolo, Ben Ferrara, and Bob Pusateri will be representing the EDC team and checking out the latest in industrial automation, controls, drives, and more.

Planning to be there? Let us know—we’d love to catch up at the show.

How do you reliably communicate with drives that are constantly rotating?

On this cable strander, aging slip rings had become a recurring source of communication faults and downtime. EDC replaced that physical communication path with a wireless CANopen solution—without replacing the machine’s otherwise reliable controls and drives.

Douglas Tran, a returning EDC intern and Computer Engineering student at Virginia Tech, is pictured here testing a Payoff and Takeup Panel for a wire line at Okonite’s Richmond, Kentucky plant.

We’ll be sharing more about Douglas, his fellow interns and what they worked on this summer in an upcoming blog. Stay tuned!

Sometimes the best modernization strategy isn’t replacing everything—it’s finding the right way to make old and new technology work together.

When recurring communication faults kept stopping a cable stranding line, EDC engineered a solution connecting legacy Siemens controls, Lenze drives, PROFIBUS, CANopen, and wireless communication—all while keeping the existing machine in service.

See how we bridged the gap:
