Product Overview 2-5
Digital Setup, Easy Operation
A keypad and liquid crystal display provide a simple interface for setting and viewing
operating parameters and diagnostics. All controller settings are made digitally for
precision and repeatability. Readouts and fault messages are displayed in readily
understandable language. A graphical display option provides on-board oscilloscope-type
viewing of drive and system parameters.
Multiaxis Operation
A built-in high-speed synchronous communication port allows the motion of multiple
slave drives to be precisely coordinated. With optional master/slave software, the velocity
ratio and position phasing of the drives can also be controlled. Multiple motors can be
operated in parallel from a single drive using optional variable-frequency control.
Power Quality
A built-in link choke on the 1100, 1105, and 1110 drives and the unique low-capacitance
design of the 1200 provides near-unity overall power factor and low harmonic line
currents at all motor speeds. High-power 1100, 1105, and 1200 drives also offer a six-
phase (twelve-pulse) configuration for further minimizing line harmonics in critical
applications. The 1130 and 1230 line-regenerative drives provide near-unity power factor
for both motoring- and braking-type loads by using an IGBT bridge to control the flow of
power into and out of the drive.
Protection and Advanced Diagnostics
Drives monitor their operating conditions and provide a comprehensive set of overload,
short circuit, and other electronic protective features to ensure safe, reliable operation.
Faults indications are displayed in plain language. A log maintains a history of fault
occurrences and externally triggered events.
Serial Connectivity
An RS-422/485 serial interface is provided for connecting a drive to a process controller,
communication network, or programmable controller. A variety of popular
communication protocols is available. The 100 MHz and 270 MHz modules also accept
an Anybus
®
module with numerous industry-standard protocol options, and the 100 MHz,
270 MHz, and Compact 100 MHz modules accept MaxStream module(s) for wireless
communications. An RS-232 connection is also provided on 40 MHz, 100 MHz, 270
MHz, Compact 100 MHz, and Compact 150 MHz controllers for connecting a personal
computer. The Compact 150 MHz module also provides a USB 2.0 port for asynchronous
communications. Windows-based PCs can set up, monitor, and control a network of
drives using optional DriveLink™ or UEdit™ software. Drive Archive™ and Drive
Chart™ for the Palm OS make it easy to save and restore setups and capture charts using
a handheld computer.
Packaging
Compact and rugged, drives are available either enclosed or as an open chassis for
mounting inside an enclosure. Both versions can be foot-mounted to a wall or subplate or
flange-mounted through a cutout to dissipate heat outside an enclosure. Standard
packaged systems are also available that incorporate additional components within an
enclosure.
