Simple installation and Start Up Danfoss drives come with pluggable spring loaded I/O terminals, each have a dual connector configuration which faclilitates a simple installation. When the customer requirees a high IP rated drive pre-threaded cable gland openeins can be ordered allowing for an easy and realible installation in harsh enviroments The automation drives graphical control panel option ensures the drive is simple to set up, commission and operate saving on installation and operating costs. |
There are various enclosures options available up to IP 66 (depending on the model). Integrated DC chokes and RFI filters in all models protect installations by minimizing harmonic distortion and electromagnetic interference.
The VLT Automation Drive has an integrated motion controller (IMC) functionality that can be used with applications where the drive is required to perform high-precision positioning and synchronisation operations. The Integrated Motion Controller (IMC) functionality is now configurable in the drive’s software. No additional modules or hardware are necessary.
To ensure the highest quality and reliability all Danfoss drives are fully tested at the factory. They require little maintenance and can ensure there is a fast return on investment.
