Designed with both the installer and user in mind, LSIS has introduced its simple to install and easy to operate standard S100 drive. The powerful dual-rated unit is perfect for general applications such as pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, milling, etc. and has a diverse range of user friendly functions delivering added value to users.
The series has a heavy and normal duty operation rating. In a normal duty application, for example a pump or fan, designers could opt to de-rate the drive. These ratings are available in the parameters and can be optimised as the requirements demand. Overload capacity: heavy duty operation – 150% of rated current, 60 seconds and normal duty operation – 120% of rated current, 60 seconds. Other features include:
• Powerful sensor-less control: offering an open loop starting torque of 200%/0.5 Hz providing higher power and torque in the low speed ranges.
• Selectable rotary/standstill auto-tuning: user flexibility to choose standstill instead of rotational auto-tuning where the motor cannot be rotated due to installation or application conditions, while offering full tuning parameter optimisation.
• Side by side installation: minimised distance between products enables panel size reduction when installing multiple S100 drives.
• Main capacitor lifecycle estimator: calculated through monitoring the change in the capacitance of the main DC bus.
• Cooling fan lifecycle estimator: warning signal is displayed when the cooling fan is operated over a pre-determined amount of running hours.
• Built-in DC reactor: effective in improving power factor and decreasing THD.
• Various field networks: integration to a variety of field networks with easy installation and setup. (Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, CANopen, EtherCAT, etc.)
• Built-in safety torque off: Safety input function meets EN ISO 13849-1 PLd and EN 61508 SIL2 (En 60204-1, stop category 0). This feature enables users to meet current international safety standards.
• Global compliance: global standard compliance UL, CE, Gost, C-tick and cUL.
More movement on the market
Motion Control & Drives
If you want to move something, you have to be able to control the movement. When positioning in the nanometre range everything matters and requires high performance motion control. Six years ago, Aerotech therefore set itself the goal of revolutionising the market for precision motion and machine control systems.
