Ethernet-compatible motor drives
January 1st 2007 Baldor has introduced a new range of three-phase AC motor drives. In addition to providing the flexibility of Ethernet Powerlink and TCP/IP connectivity to the high-power machine building sector, a focus on modularity, combined with novel design features, provides users with significant potential for saving costs. The MotiFlex e100 range can be used in both centralised control and distributed 'intelligent drive' scenarios. In both cases, substantial savings are said to be made in the electrical power components typically required. The drives are rated for output powers to 16A, in five steps of 1.5, 3, 6, 10.5 and 16A. Higher power versions will follow. More articles from Baldor UK Limited: |
