650V AC Drive
Chapter 1 GETTING STARTED
Introduction
The 650V, Frames C, D, E & F, is part of the 650 Series of AC Drives, designed for speed
control of standard 3-phase induction motors. It is available in a range of ratings for heavy and
normal torque applications. This dual mode feature provides a cost effective solution to general
industrial applications, as well as the control of pumps and fans.
• The unit can be controlled remotely using configurable analogue and digital inputs and
outputs, requiring no optional equipment.
• Controlling the unit locally using the 6521 (or 6901) keypad gives access to parameters,
diagnostic messages, trip settings and full application programming a connection to a pc is
required along with the drive software tool. Other features also become available, such as
the advanced sensorless vector control scheme which gives high torque, low speed
operation; selectable switching frequencies; and a unique Quiet Pattern control system that
minimises audible noise from the motor.
The optional external RFI filters offer enhanced EMC compliance.
IMPORTANT: Motors used must be suitable for drive duty.
Note:
Do not attempt to control motors whose rated current is less than 50% of the drive rated
current. Poor motor control or Autotune problems may occur if you do
