ABB introduces the world's most competitive micro drives and digital DC drive to meet the demands of machine builders and controls efficiently all types of industrial processes and residential applications.ABB's aim is to offer the best combination of reliable products at the most affordable price,backed by on-time delivery, good partnership and fast response to enquiries.

Introduction

ABB micro drives bring the benefits of accurate speed control to lowpower motors.ABB micro drives make control more efficient in all types of industrial processes and residential applications with small AC motors.Well suited for material handling and flow control, ABB micro drives are ideal for machine applications ranging from packaging machines, biscuit machines and laundry machines to mixers, conveyors,fans pumps, etc.

Maximum Reliability

With the importance of total cost of ownership in mind, ABB micro drives are designed for maximum reliability.ABB micro drives reduce down-time, increase availability and bring down total lifetime costs.This reliability is achieved by: 1.A thermal design based on an optimised natural cooling, principle, no cooling fan is required. 2.A flange mounting feature allowing heat losses to be dissipated outside the cabinet. 3.A minimum number of components.

Continuous accurate Control

ABB micro drives follow the input signal with very high accuracy.On an average the accuracy is better than 1%. ABB micro drives have a very short response time.The average delay is less than 9 ms, so the micro drives are well suited for many positioning applications.

High Repeatability

Good repeatability has been one of the cornerstones in the design of ABB micro drives.The drives show very low variance in response time and accuracy.This characteristic makes it possible to control processes within narrow tolerances resulting in highly predictable behaviour of machinery and even product quality.

Features

Despite their small size, ABB micro drives have a rich set of features: Thermal protection of the motor.

• Built-in galvanic isolation of the I/O
• PNP- or NPN-type PLC connection without additional external logic.
• Versatile control configuration
• Silent operation
• Well designed user documentation for quick installation and start-up.

Accessories include:

• Range of brake units.
• RFI filters for use in domestic environments.
