Internal communications improve inverter diagnostics

26 November, 2008

SPS logoAt the recent SPS/IPC/Drives show, the German drives-maker Baumüller has announced a family of modular drives with internal serial communications between the controls and the power sections, said to result in improved diagnostics. The b maXX 5000 series drives cover ratings from 1–35kW and incorporate a line voltage measurement system that adapts to different supply voltages around the world.

The compact drives, which can be used in regenerative applications, offer a choice between air or cold-plate cooling, and support Ethernet communications. The drives incorporate safety functions and can be used in energy-saving regenerative applications.
