Intelligent inverters with built-in PLC for motors or cabinets
Nord Drivesystems is introducing frequency inverters with an integrated PLC, which, combined with geared motors, result in a complete intelligent drive system. All distributed SK 180E and SK 200E controllers and the cabinet inverters SK 520E and above now offer an integrated PLC. The PLC enables straightforward free programming of drive-related functions according to IEC 61131-3 in structured text and instruction list languages using the free-of-charge NORD CON programming and parameterisation tool.
The intelligent inverters can thereby manage sophisticated tasks such as autonomous process monitoring or dynamic operation without an external controller. This allows for very economically priced systems. Moreover, these new-generation inverters control a wider range of motors; support for IE4 synchronous motors is currently being tested in the field.
In addition to their outstanding functional versatility, including position control, the distributed SK 200E units also provide exceptional overload tolerance and are available for a wider power range than usual in this product class - up to 22kW. The highly compact control cabinet inverters from the SK 500E line will be available up to size 11, with 160kW rating, later in 2015.
