VARICON: the variable-speed drive unit with

field bus or PLC connection

There is no longer any need for long leads between the Advantages:
frequency inverter and the motor. External line and • Easy installation
motor filters are also unnecessary, since complete inter- • 16 kHz switching frequency for low-noise operation
ference suppression is already integrated. • Direct PLC or InterBus-S connection
The effort required for installation is comperable with • High protection system IP 54
that of a simple motor. • Coordinated ventilation system
The efficiency characteristics have been optimized for • No additional components required for
the Type of motor concerned in each case. conformity to EMC regulations
• Conforms to CE standards
The drives are available with PLC, InterBus-S or Profibus-
DP-Interface as a standard feature. • Possibility of changing quickly from one set of drive
parameterisation to another via master computer
The drive parameters are pre-adjusted.
• Network via serial interface

PLC interface
In addition to the 24 V control inputs, the PLC interface
also includes an analog input and a serial data inter-
face (RS 485) Optional: special interface with fan
control and actual speed output interface.
The signal relays are configurable. 13 functions are
available.
All control ports, including the serial Interface, are electri-
cally isolated. The power is supplied from either internal
or external sources.

Advantages for the user:

• Analog input
• Configurable outputs
• Potential-free 24 V and 10 V power source for the
input
• Adaption to the specific application via the Control
unit

VARICON with Fieldbus profile

InterBus-S or Profibus-DP
The effort required for installation is negligible: simply
plug in the bus cable and connect to the power supply.
It goes without saying that VARICON with InterBus-S
Interface supports the DRIVECOM profile 21.

Advantages for the user:

• Easy installation
• Low installation costs
• Plug-in bus cable
• Direct connection to the fieldbus
