Decentralised motor control system

Suited to use in distributed control applications on conveyors, materials handling systems, and all installations that benefit from a decentralised motor control system, the latest Rapid Link 4.0 motor control units from Eaton's Electrical Sector combine versatility, ease of installation, convenient plugable connections, space-saving compact construction and an IP65 rating that allows them to be used in tough environments.

The Rapid Link 4.0 range includes direct-on-line and reversing motor starters with electronic motor protection for 0.3-3kW and variable speed drives with four ratings up to 2.2kW. All models have the same fixing arrangements and dimensions, which simplifies both plant design and equipment installation. The standardised design means that fitting a variable speed drive unit in place of a direct on-line starter - or vice-versa - is a straightforward and inexpensive task.
