Introducing the 'Drive PLC' for compact inverters
Lenze has introduced the Drive PLC, a smaller version of its Servo PLC,
for compact frequency converters. The unit is designed to work with an
inverter and a number of basic functions are included for PLC/inverter
communication (via CANbus), in addition to standard PLC features such as
scalable inputs and outputs and a fieldbus interface. An input is also
available for the connection of incremental encoders. Thanks to the CAN
interface, there is no parallel wiring and no unused terminals, resulting
in faster signal processing and direct access to signals within the
inverter.
