AC drive manufacturer, Vacon, has
updated its NXP premium drives. The
enhancements, which include the
adoption of conformal coating for
control boards, make the new drives
better able to withstand the effects of
prolonged operation in tough
environmental conditions.

In addition to the new protective
coating, the NXP control board has
been completely redesigned, with
critical components upgraded to
optimise temperature stability, and
with a new processor that offers a
15% performance improvement over
its predecessor. This is a particular
benefit for OEM customers who
develop their own application
software for the drives.
