One control standard for several applications - this was NORD's aim in developing the NORDAC PRO SK 500P. The result is a control cabinet inverter whose features allow a high degree of versatility and intelligent communication with system components. As a result, NORD users can reduce the number of inverter variants in use.
Versatile integration
As with all NORDAC PRO inverters, the integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface is one of the key elements. It allows the control component to be integrated into various networks without the need for retrofitting. These include the Profinet, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and POWERLINK protocols. Depending on the model, other protocols are also covered. A USB interface also allows the inverter to be parameterised without voltage.
The integrated PLC reacts automatically to process changes in the system. It can thus relieve the higher-level controller. The POSICON positioning function performs a variety of positioning tasks. It is equally capable of controlling relative or absolute positioning using incremental or absolute encoders. Parameter set switching even allows sequential positioning of up to four axes.
Control of devices from lifting gear to pumps
The NORDAC PRO SK 500P enables users to implement a wide range of industry-specific drive applications. The control cabinet inverter features vector control with an overload reserve of 200%. This makes it suitable for controlling geared motors in heavy-duty applications or lifting systems. Its PI controller and integrated compensation control make it the ideal drive for pumps and winding systems. At the same time, the book-sized drive requires very little space in the control cabinet and can be installed directly next to each other without any gaps.
With the NORDAC PRO SK 500P it is possible to control all motor types with and without encoder feedback. NORD is currently working on new sizes of the inverter to make its benefits available in a wider power range.
