6,12,18 and 24 pulse input and Active Front End configurations are available
Integrated cooling fan power supply means no additional power supplies are required
Availability of high power modules means fewer modules per system
Onboard PLC for custom logic control
Common control interface ensures a consistent programming method and feature set across the range.
Familiarity reduces the need for training:
Identical parameter structure with Smartcard and SD card cloning support
Powerdrive F300 Connect software for monitoring, diagnostics and advanced parameter file management
Machine Control Studio for application programming in the IEC61131-3 environment
SI-option module support for additional I/O and communications (e.g. Ethernet/IP, PROFINET RT,PROFIBUS)
Current loop mode analog I/O
Flexible control capability
Two PID controllers with anti-wind-up and user scaling provide flow-specific functionality, enhancing productivity
Logic functions including ‘AND’ , ‘OR’, ‘invert’, ‘binary sum’ and ‘timer’ achieved through easy menu set-up
Realtime Clock available on the KI-HOA Keypad RTC enables the drive to respond to preset instructions or common demand patterns, helping to save energy
Water hammer control with S-ramp deceleration
Catch a spinning motor – improved starting sequences for fan and pump control
On-board Fire Mode allowing ‘run to failure’ in the event of a fire for smoke extraction
Low load condition monitoring and hysteresis for broken belt and dry pump detection
Make compact, easily maintainable systems
Overall system size and footprint is kept to a minimum
Manageable small and light modules are maintained and replaced rapidly and easily
