The drive takes as little as ten minutes to install, with a ten step quick set up process using guided parameterisation.
However the drive also has high end programming abilities with macro language capability - effectively combining a major control system with the drive.
Graphical programming is used to access 46 different function block diagrams, all of which are adjustable - thus the system may be fine tuned to achieve optimum performance for each particular application.
The drives are usually set up with a detachable control panel or alternatively a lap top computer may be used.
The control panel itself can be pre-set and plugged in to program many drives thus offering very easy parameter duplication.
The main markets for REFUdrive 500 are high speed machining, textiles, chemical processing and cranes, including dock cranes, gantry cranes and theatre cranes.
