New frequency converter to fill void
May 2006
Electrical Power & Protection
IndraDrive Fc, a new Rexroth standard frequency converter available from Tectra Automation, covers the entire performance range from 0,25 to 7,5 kW without leaving any gaps. IndraDrive Fc offers comprehensive functions along with simplicity itself when it comes to installation, commissioning and operation. Integrated monitoring functions and an integrated EMC interference suppression facility guarantee maximum system reliability. IndraDrive Fc communicates with modular function modules at all levels. Profibus, CANopen and DeviceNet are available as fieldbus modules.
The intelligent AC Inverter concept enables convenient fitting of the inverters and the arrangement of a number of units right next to each other. Plug-in control terminals make installation rapid and simple. Commissioning, with intelligent motor identification, can be carried out comfortably and conveniently by means of an operation module without the requirement for a PC. Four sizes and two mains input voltage ranges are available (1/3 x AC 230 V and 2 x AC 400 V).
