Avtron has a new line of AC drives – the ACCEL500T series. A full family of V/Hz, sensorless vector and closed loop vector drives are available in both stand-alone and common DC-bus configurations. The ACCEL500 GP is ideal for traditional variable torque applications such as pumps and fans. The ACCEL500 HP is designed for the most demanding co-ordinated systems needs. These employ an easy to use common programming interface across the entire family, making maintenance and troubleshooting fast and easy. Typical applications include, process lines, winder and tension control sections, draw control, positioning applications, hoist configurations, and master-slave co-ordination.

Features include:

■ High-speed communication options include Modbus TCP (Ethernet), Profibus DP, CanOpen, and DeviceNet to improve operability across many platforms
■ Voltage range from 208 to 690 VAC
■ Power from 0.56 to 1,715 kW Common DC-bus hardware includes inverter sections, non-regenerative front-end converters (diode-based), and fully regenerative active front-ends (IGBT-based)
■ Both 16-bit and 32-bit processor configurations are available to match application needs
■ 3% AC line-side reactor included with every stand-alone unit, integrated up through 186 kW
■ Incremental or absolute encoder support
■ Full torque control at all speeds, including zero
■ Integrated data-logging function built into every drive
■ Windows-based programming and maintenance software
■ Removable, easy to use LCD keypad stores program for maintenance and troubleshooting.
