In summary: An inverter system is a combination of standalone 
products and services which create new usable drive 
system properties with added value.
1.1.2 System 
environment
Analysis of the system environment of inverter drives reveals four inter-
faces which outline that environment:
1. Interface to the processing process
2. Interface to the automation process
3. Interface to the surrounding environment and installation conditions
4. Interface to the requirements arising from standards, regulations and 
safety concerns
 
Figure 1.2 System environment
This section deals with the interface to the “processing process”. The
other interfaces are dealt with in the subsequent sections of the guide.
