Automation experts launch frequency inverters
B&R is extending its product range by introducing a new family of frequency inverters with power ratings from 0.18-500kW. This is an addition to B&R's successful Acopos line of servo controllers, enabling the company to supply a complete line of drive technologies. Hans Wimmer, managing director of B&R in Eggelsberg, states: "Our customers have often asked about frequency inverters, so it made sense to add this product to our portfolio."The three Acoposinverter S44, X64 and P88 series are equipped with serial, X2X and Powerlink interfaces and are fully integrated in Automation Studio. An additional advantage is easy maintenance because all parameters are saved in the CPU. This allows easier and more efficient commissioning of equipment in series production.
At the top of the range, the flagship Acoposinverter P84 features an optional regenerating unit to avoid energy being wasted as heat. Alternatively, the energy can be shared via the DC bus. Both options make the inverter more energy- and cost-efficient.
