   • Adaptive tuning compensates for motor aging and load variations.
   • Reduces harmonic distortion to <3% (THD) with integrated active front-end (AFE) rectifiers.
2. Modular I/O Flexibility:
   • Up to 4 expansion modules for digital/analog I/O, relay outputs, and encoder feedback.
   • Hot-swap capability minimizes downtime during upgrades.
3. Energy Monitoring:
   • Energy Saver Pro: Tracks kWh consumption, CO2 savings, and harmonic distortion.
   • Demand Response: Integrates with smart grids to reduce peak-load charges.
4. IIoT Integration:
   • OPC UA Server: Enables secure data exchange with SCADA/MES systems.
   • MQTT Client: Integrates with cloud platforms like AWS IoT Core.
