Parker Hannifin now offers an advanced software solution for its AC10 range of compact variable speed drives (VSDs) for industrial motor control applications. It has comprehensive yet user-friendly programming capabilities and is available to download free of charge with every AC10 purchase.
The AC10 compact VSD from Parker is a simple, proven and economical solution to everyday motor control applications requiring speed or torque control within the power range of 0,2 to 180 kW for IP20 and 0,4 to 90 kW for IP66. Typical uses range from pumps, fans, conveyors, centrifuges, mixers, machine tool spindles and roller doors, through to packaging, textile, strapping, labelling and industrial washing machines. Commonly available software solutions for such applications are typically relatively basic. DSE Lite is a more complete package and combines impressive functionality with ease of use through an intuitive, graphical user interface and straightforward block programming.
As an example of its capability, DSE Lite allows customers to create, parameterise and configure user-defined applications, as well as parameterise and connect fixed motor control blocks. It also offers real-time monitoring and charting, while further features are designed to reduce the time and effort required to install, set up and commission the drive via the integrated keypad.
Application templates are available across the complete range, with AC650V-compatible function blocks that include PID, raise/lower and logic/value parameters. Other new features are enhanced sequencing logic, improved motor control at low speed and help files for every function.
