For functionally complex and dynamic drive applications, Nord Drive Systems has introduced an additional model to its SK 500E line of control cabinet inverters.
The new intelligent SK 540E inverter supports the convenient and free programming of drive-related functions according to IEC 61131. It has all the established features of the series but supports a wider range of drives than other models in the range. In particular, it can control synchronous motors and it integrates a new universal encoder interface for energy recovery.
Even sophisticated tasks are performed by the SK 540E without an external PLC, bringing considerable cost savings. Pump drives, for instance, can be upgraded with monitoring functions and characteristic curve functions, enabling them to directly react to fluctuating flow rates.
And due to its high-performance microprocessor, this new inverter model is also suitable for high-speed cutting processes in turning and milling. Just as the established models from the series, SK 540E provides the safety function Safe Torque Off as well as sensorless current vector control and an integrated brake chopper for regenerative operation, and it identifies the parameters of the connected motor automatically.
