Next-generation motor control for up to 700 HP motors is available with the Altivar 71 variable speed AC drive. The Altivar 71 features dual microprocessors and motor control algorithms that provide superior torque performance and speed regulation, says the vendor, along with advanced materials that make it 15 percent smaller than previous generations.
The unit’s large and easy-to-read, customizable LCD display uses plain text words, and features a navigation wheel that allows users to scroll through menus. The drive family features a common user interface and options, from 0.5 to 700 HP. Integrated Modbus and CanOpen protocols provide low-cost integration into device level networks. PowerSuite software for programming all Altivar drives allows configuration, monitoring and diagnostics through an Ethernet or Bluetooth wireless connection. Among many new features is an integrated oscilloscope function to detect operational drift on machines.
