The DC590+ Frame 6 drives are supplied as versatile modules for easy installation and service, with separate power and control modules being designed to mount directly to cabinet backplates. Each drive can be wired with a top or bottom AC power supply input, as well as left or right DC exit, and is available in a choice of three current ratings of 1,250, 1,600 and 1,950A, with voltage ranges from 380 to 690VAC, and power ranges from 600 to 900kW (750 to 1250HP).
In addition, as each drive module weighs significantly less than traditional large packaged drives, they are easy to install and can be shipped around the world at lower cost and for fast replacement if required.
The new DC590+ Frame 6 high power DC drive has been designed to provide optimum reliability and efficiency with a range of features to minimise wear and tear and save energy. For example, cooling fans are only switched on when required and are constantly monitored for rotation, which eliminates unexpected machine downtime when the drive gets too hot. Similarly, built-in snubbers ensure reliable operation even in cases of mains disturbance.
To improve operational flexibility still further, the new drive communicates with all popular industrial protocols, including Ethernet, ProfiBus, ControlNet, DeviceNet and CanOpen, with available option cards. The DC590+ Frame 6 is also supplied with a full set of function blocks dedicated to section control - winder/unwinder, dancer control, PID, load control – which virtually eliminates the need for an external PLC.
Parker SSD Drives provides a full range of highly innovative products, including AC, DC, and servo drives in the range of fractional kW to 1,500kW, based on the sound principals of ease of use, global standards, and above all, reliability.
