Matrix-680

Introduction

The Darwin Motion Matrix 680 drive provides the Compact combination of power, ease of use, flexibility, and performance.

THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE CHOOSING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES

• Since Variable Frequency Drives have limited over-current capacity, so difficult-to-start loads might require an over-sized device to match higher current demands.
• For knowing how many motors, the drive must control have to be estimated the total peak currents of entire motor loads under the poorest functioning conditions your planned system will observe. Size your VFD base on the maximum current need.
• Overheating of motor could be a possible concern for any of your intended drive applications such as low speed, constant torque.
• Since smaller motors are not considered much efficient than larger ones, so improvements because of the variable frequency drive will possibly be willingly apparent. However, as large motors ingest higher power, so small enhancement in efficiency can lead to considerable savings over the motor’s life.
• In volatile condition, ensure all used materials are strong to chemical attack and are correctly grounded; while for an atmosphere alive with particulates, make sure correct sealing; and for high temperatures, permit cooling.
• Always choose a drive that trips quickly in an over-current condition or the one that keeps up stable engine force and lower engine speed to continue current needed.
• Also it is essential to understand load downtimes and have the choice to do a thorough fault analysis.
• Likewise, the utilization of VFDs has massively improved product quality and significantly reduced production costs. Because of its low downtime, many businesses are using VFDs. VFD offers best protection against many issues such as overvoltage, under voltage, phase protection, and electro thermal overloads. Also, industries are using Variable Frequency Drives as they offer efficient speed for applications, no mistakes, and higher production yields. Several business using utilize VFDs have even integrated Ethernet in the industrial applications they use. It completely simplifies the operations. According to Darwin Motion – VFD & Servo Drive Manufacturer survey, 75% of machine operator say they have been using or considering Ethernet in industrial applications. This current trend is being seen in VFD introductions too.
