Applications
Fan, Pump, Compressor Applications
- Improved energy efficiency during periods of low demand.
- PID functionality makes advanced control easy and efficient without the need of an external controller.
- Easily avoid equipment resonant frequencies and reduce high vibration levels using the skip frequency.
- Catch an already spinning motor to reduce start-up time and increase productivity.
- Motor thermal protection prevents overheating of the motor during operation.
- Fire mode maximize availability of a building’s smoke extraction system in the event of a fire. Once activated the drive will run until failure.
Moving Applications : conveyors, treadmills, automatic doors & barriers.
- Reliable speed control with onboard communications.
- S-ramp acceleration / deceleration profiling provides
smooth speed transitions minimising machine jerk. - Linear V to F with a controllable boost to get the
machine running. - Drive overload capacity up to 150% for rapid
acceleration or load changes. - DC braking with stop indication used to stop the motor
quickly.
Processing Applications : mixers, crushers, agitators, centrifuges, kneaders, spinning & braiding machines for textile.
- Ease of integration to external PLC or other
management systems with on board communications . - Stability optimiser for improved motor control.
- Resistance compensation for excellent torque
performance. - Built-in EMC filter effectively reduces electromagnetic
interference.
