New generation variable speed drives
Trade Fair Aandrijftechniek 3-6 October 2006
The Aandrijftechniek sees the launch of Emotron BV’s new generation of variable speed drives, which have grown in terms of function but reduced in size. The new Emotron FDU is developed for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors and blowers, while Emotron VFX is adapted for dynamic applications such as cranes, crushers and mixers.
Emotron’s new variable speed drives, FDU and VFX in the 0.75-1,500 kW output range, offer efficient, reliable and user-friendly control. Among the new features are:
• An integrated shaft power monitor that detects deviations from normal operation over the whole speed range.
• New compact I/O boards allow connection of up to four options, for example communication, pump control and crane control. Virtual connection of logic functions, comparators and timers means that more options can be used. Different logical functions can be combined without cables or external I/Os.
• Integrated temperature control and extended motor protection. PTC and PT100 sensors can be connected for motor protection and process feedback without transmitters.
• Operating parameters are set in selectable process units. The control panel is removable and can easily be moved between variable speed drives to copy settings.
• IP54 enclosure and extremely compact format even for high outputs. Liquid cooling is available as an option.
