NORD Drivesystems lately expanded its NORDAC PRO SK 500P VFD sequence. Now, the corporate’s NORDAC VFDs attain powers as much as 200 hp with multi-protocol Ethernet interfaces, built-in practical security, and wi-fi diagnostics.
NORD described its variable frequency drives as management cupboard methods that may deal with a broad vary of purposes with scalable performance, versatility, and most connectivity. With the addition of 4 new body sizes, bringing the entire to 10, the product line now covers a efficiency vary of 0.33 – 200.0 hp, additional increasing the capabilities of the NORDAC PRO sequence.
The VFD’s compact, book-size design allows side-by-side set up with out gaps, stated the corporate. This makes it simpler to combine it into the cupboard and scale back quantity, set up area, and prices.
NORD Drivesystems provides a complete vary of mechanical and digital methods for industries worldwide. The Bargteheide, Germany-based firm‘s modular product vary contains energy-efficient and adaptable drives consisting of geared motors, electrical motors, industrial gear models, and frequency inverters.
NORD says its VFDs can adapt to a variety of environments
NORD stated the NORDAC PRO VFDs are adaptable to particular person utility necessities throughout industries equivalent to airport baggage dealing with, intralogistics, bulk materials dealing with, and packaging.
The VFDs are suitable for operation with three-phase asynchronous motors in addition to IE5+ everlasting magnet synchronous motors, delivering high-precision management with robust overload capabilities for fixed torque purposes.
Fundamental variants of the product sequence (SK 500P) provide full PLC performance, 4 parameter units switchable straight on-line, and an built-in brake chopper. Additionally they embody POSICON positioning management, an energy-saving operate, and a CANopen interface, in addition to parameterization by way of plug-in management module, NORDCON software program device, or app.
Superior variations of NORDAC PRO drives now accessible
Superior NORDAC PRO variations embody further inputs/outputs, SK TU5 plug-in management modules, SK CU5 extension modules, and an built-in multi-protocol Ethernet interface. This interface connects to Ethernet-based management methods and allows particular person parameter configuration.
Further options embody:
- A USB interface that’s accessible for voltage-free programming and parameterization even and not using a mains connection
- A microSD card slot for information storage and switch of parameter information between drives and laptop interfaces
- A diagnostic interface by way of RJ12 connection
Variations SK 510P and above provide practical security choices, equivalent to STO and SS1, for secure shutdown to stop hazards to folks and harm to system elements.
The 4 new body sizes are superior drives accessible as SK 530P, SK 540P, and SK 550P variations with modules together with SK TU5-CTR (ControlBox), SK TU5-PAR (ParameterBox), and SK CU5-STO/MLT. Additionally they function equipment together with mains, DC hyperlink and motor chokes, braking resistors, management choices, EMV-kits, and extra.
NORD software program makes set up less complicated
NORD added that its NORDCON commissioning and diagnostic software program supplies quick, dependable parameterization of NORDAC PRO SK 500P variable frequency drives. This free software program incorporates a uniform person interface with dashboard-based visualization, enabling easy accessibility to the digital drive methods for easy parameter administration and complete analysis, claimed the corporate.
NORDCON provides an oscilloscope operate for drive evaluation, a assist operate for speedy parameterization, and a backup and restoration features. It additionally contains the NORDCON SCOPE operate to help utility engineers throughout preliminary commissioning, drive optimization throughout operation, and analysis for servicing.
As well as, NORD stated the NORDAC PRO SK 500P digital drives are suitable with the NORDAC ACCESS BT Bluetooth stick. The Bluetooth stick supplies a wi-fi connection from a cell machine to the NORDAC drive, permitting full entry management for fast checks of working parameters or viewing of drive historical past information.
