The AFW900 is a panel-mounted frequency inverter solution with several innovative features available from its basic version and a wide possibility of selectable options or customized versions.
Duly assembled in an electrical panel, with reduced dimensions and tested according to the requirements of NBR IEC 61439-1/2, it is an ideal solution, ready for installation, parameterization and motor starting.
High performance and safety
Composed of the CFW900 inverter with high static and dynamic performance in motor control, it provides energy savings, safety in operation, increased productivity and quality in the processes in which it is implemented and allows easy access to application information and configuration adjustments in a simple and fast way.
The benefits are enhanced by WEG’s expertise in drive panels applied in the assembly of this set in a metal enclosure with surface treatment and painting plan suitable for various environments, proper protection and shielding, whether mechanical, electrical or electromagnetic, undergoing standardized procedures for type and routine checks and tests.
Flexible and connected
With a wide range of features in the standard version or through options, it is possible to apply the inverter in various types of processes and integrate them through various possibilities of industrial communication networks. The standard version has two Ethernet ports with MQTT and other protocols, as well as a serial port (RS485). In addition, optional modules with other types of ports and communication protocols can be incorporated.
The Human Machine Interface (HMI) version Bluetooth รข allows a convenient format for monitoring, setting and backing up parameters via the WPS Mobile application. The HMI also features a USB port.
Inverter compatible with the WEG Motion Fleet Management (MFM) platform and aligned with industry 4.0.
Applications
Pumps, fans, load lifting, mills, centrifuges, conveyor belts, machinery, processes, cement, mining, sanitation, sugar and alcohol, oil and gas, paper and cellulose, among others.
