The key features of the ACS310 standard drive are :-
|
| Feature |
Advantage |
Benefit |
|
Pump and fan control (PFC) feature to control pumps and fans in parallel |
One drive controls several pumps or fans and eliminates the need for an external programmable logic controller.
Reduces motor stress and increases lifetime when auxiliary motors are driven according to the needed pump/fan capacity.
Interlock function enables one motor to be disengaged from the mains supply while others continue operating in parallel. |
Saves cost of additional drives and external PLC.
Longer life for pump or fan system while reducing maintenance time and costs.
Maintenance can be carried out safely without stopping process. |
|
Soft pump and fan control feature (SPFC)
|
Reduces unwanted pressure peaks in pumps and pipelines when an auxiliary motor is started.
|
Reduces maintenance costs.
Longer life for pump or fan system.
Smoother processes.
|
|
Pump protection functions
|
Integrated protection and control with pre-programmed features like pipe cleaning, pipefill, inlet/outlet pressure supervision and detection of under or over load for preventive maintenance.
Improves process control and system reliability. Integrates system protection.
Smoother processes: improved and optimized system. Longer life for pump and fan system, reduced maintenance costs.
|
Reduces maintenance costs. Longer life and reliable operation of pump system. |
|
PID controllers
|
Varies the drive's performance according to the need of the application.
|
Enhances production output, stability and accuracy.
|
|
Embedded Modbus RS-485 fieldbus interface
|
No need for external fieldbus options. Integrated and compact design.
|
Saves costs of external fieldbus devices. Increases reliability.
|
|
On/off cooling fan control |
Cooling fan rotates only when the drive is running, thereby cooling only when needed.
|
Silent operation. Improves drive's energy efficiency.
|
|
Software controlled phase inversion |
Fast and easy way to change the phase order of the motor rotation.
|
Time savings as there is no need to change the output cable order manually.
|
|
Short parameter menu view
|
Only the most needed drive parameters are shown on the drive's parameter view. Complete parameter view can be changed by setting one parameter.
|
Time savings as user can quickly see the most important parameters. Fast commissioning of the drive.
|
|
Energy optimizer |
Improved motor efficiency with intelligent drive control method, especially while operating on partial centrifugal loads.
|
Boosts energy efficiency due to lower motor currents. Reduces audible noise from the motor.
|
|
Energy efficiency counters |
Several counters to illustrate saved energy (kWh), carbon-dioxide emissions (CO2) and cost in local currency.
|
Shows direct impact on energy bill and helps control operational expenditure (OPEX).
|
|
Full output current at 50 °C ambient |
Drive can be operated in ambient temperatures up to 50 °C without de-rating the output current.
|
Optimized drive dimensioning for wide temperature range.
|
|
Load analyzer |
Load analyzer saves process data, such as current and torque values, which can be used to analyze the process and dimensioning of the drive and motor.
|
Optimized dimensioning of the drive, motor and process.
|
|
Compact size and high power density ratio |
Efficient cabinet space usage.
|
Space savings.
|
|
Unified height and depth |
Optimum installation layout.
|
Space savings.
|
|
Different mounting options; screw or DIN rail mounting, sideways or side-by-side |
Flexible installation.
|
One drive can be used in various designs, saving installation costs and time.
