It includes RS‑485 Modbus‑RTU communication built-in, with optional plug-in modules for higher-level protocols. The EMC suppressor is Category C2, reducing EMI and allowing installation without ventilation gaps in compact setups.
The VLB30015A480 is certified to cULus, CSA, EAC, and RCM, and conforms to EN 61800‑5‑1, UL 61800‑5‑1, and CSA 22.2 No. 274 for industrial safety and performance compliance.
Supports multiple strategies including V/f linear, quadratic torque, sensorless vector control, ECO mode, servo control with encoder feedback, PID control, S-curve acceleration, and multi-point frequency sequencing.
Maximum motor cable lengths vary: Category C2 allows up to 20 m at 4 kHz switching frequency and 40 °C ambient. Category C1 limits to around 3 m, while unshielded (no EMC) installations can extend up to 100–150 m depending on conditions.
Yes, the VLB30015A480 features an integrated braking chopper for controlled deceleration and energy dissipation during motor stops.
