Increased drive flexibility

AC Technology has released communication modules for the SMVector Drive, which has a power range to 25 Hp and includes 4 modes of operation (V/Hz, Enhanced V/Hz, Vector Speed, and Torque).

Apr 5, 2007

To increase the product’s flexibility, 3 communication options have been added: RS-485/Modbus, CANopen, and DeviceNet. These easy, pop-in modules can be ordered factory-installed or as the module to be inserted into an already existing unit, allowing the SMVector to be compatible in almost every machine environment, and allowing users to maintain their own communication preferences.
