AC Drive with vector control

Rockwell Automation offers AC drive with vector control. The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex-700 AC drive control helps users control some of the industry"s most demanding applications. Vector control capability adds high-performance speed and torque regulation in an easy-to-use AC drive roughly 50 per cent more compact in size than competitive offerings. Equipped with patented Allen-Bradley Force Technology for field-oriented control, the new drive boasts motor speed regulation of 0.001 per cent over a wide operating speed range while also offering industry leading torque regulation. The vector control drive helps eliminate wall thickness variations, while maintaining maximum throughput. Other examples of applications requiring tight speed control include extruders, mixers, centrifuges, bottling lines and fillers, as well as applications requiring tight torque regulation, like winders, lifts, hoists, palletizers and web handling. The drive is available in global ratings from 0.37 kW (0.5 hp) to 110 kW (150 hp) and voltage ratings from 240 to 600 V. It is roughly 50 per cent more compact than competitive offerings. An integral electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filter reduces the drive"s footprint when complying with stringent European standards (CE) while integral common mode cores on the output further reduce noise. A built-in brake eliminates the need for external choppers and dynamic braking modules.
