Providing versatile control
modes, Softstart UK has
introduced a new intelligent
vector control micro drive that
includes built-in functionality.

Manufactured by Delta Electronics,
the C200 brings advanced control
and reliable operation to applications
such as food packaging machinery,
conveyors, textile machinery,
woodworking machinery, fans and
pumps.

The built-in PLC functionality
means the drive is suitable for
standalone use in distributed drive
applications, eliminating the need for
separate PLC. The C200 offers a
program capacity of up to 5000 steps,
with input and output relays, internal
relays, a high speed 16-bit counter
and a 100ms timer.

The PLC functions are
programmed in an intuitive
Windows environment through
Delta’s user-friendly WPLSoft ladder
editing software.

The C200 supports both open and
closed loop vector control, including
sensorless open loop control of
permanent magnet motors. The
drive is operated, monitored and set
using a touch keypad and high
visibility LED display.
