Product catalog summary
Overview
The Emotron FDU and VFX IP20/21 AC drives are designed for wall and panel mounting, offering robust and reliable performance for motor-driven equipment up to 132 kW. These drives are optimized for easy installation and long-term operation, featuring a compact design suitable for limited spaces in electrical cabinets and control rooms.
Key Features
  • Built-in DC-Choke: Reduces AC line harmonics and maintains rated motor power without significant voltage drop.
  • Integrated EMC Filter: Comes with a built-in Category C3 EMC-filter, fulfilling requirements with 80 m motor cable.
  • Speed Controlled Cooling Fan: Ensures stable internal temperature, extending the drive's lifespan and reducing noise.
  • Controlled Power-Up: Offers a safe start-up with HCB ramping, detecting phase failures and asymmetries.
Control Features
  • Direct Torque Control (Emotron VFX): Provides accurate and fast control for dynamic applications, protecting operations from interruptions.
  • Sensorless Speed Controller (Emotron VFX): Increases efficiency by quickly adjusting speed to load changes without external feedback.
  • PID Process Controller: Facilitates fast and smooth control of flow, pressure, or temperature.
  • Safe and Efficient Braking: Integrated vector brake function for rapid braking without mechanical brakes.
Energy Efficiency
  • Dedicated Control for Pumps and Fans: Saves energy by adapting motor speed to demand, reducing maintenance costs.
  • Sleep Function: Optimizes operation by stopping the motor when not needed, reducing energy consumption and wear.
  • Automatic Pump Rinsing: Increases efficiency by cleaning pumps and pipes at set intervals.
Additional Features
  • Multi-Lingual Control Panel: Features single-function keys and a copy function for easy transfer of settings.
  • Programmable Logic and Timer Functions: Customizable functionality with built-in programming blocks.
  • Motor Load Monitor: Protects processes by detecting over- or underload situations.
Applications
  • Emotron FDU: Suitable for pumps, fans, compressors, and blowers.
  • Emotron VFX: Ideal for cranes, crushers, centrifuges, extruders, conveyors, mills, mixers, winches, winders, and test benches.
Technical Specifications
  • Rated Power: 7.5 – 132 kW @ 400 VAC
  • Supply Voltage: 230 – 480 VAC, 3-phase
  • Rated Current: 25 – 244 A
  • Protection Class: IP20 (optional IP21)
Options

A clean and robust mechanical design with few circuit boards and internal electrical connections ensures a trouble-free operation. Built-in DC-choke With AC drives it is common to use inductors, either on the AC supply side (AC-choke) or in the capacitor DC-link (DC-choke) to reduce AC line harmonics and minimize the stress on the internal power capacitors. An important benefit of using DC-choke instead of AC-choke is that the supply voltage can be fully utilized without substantial voltage drop. Hereby the rated motor power can be maintained when applying an AC drive. CG Drives & Automation...

Sensorless speed controller increases efficiency (Emotron VFX) Emotron VFX has an internal speed controller that increases efficiency. It reacts immediately to load changes that cause deviation in motor speed, and quickly adjusts speed to the set reference value. The controller works without an external feedback and an autotune function reduces set-up time. Encoder feedback (option) can though be applied when higher control accuracy or position measurement is required. Fast and smooth process control The built-in PID regulator is used for fast and smooth control of, for example, flow, pressure...

before returning to normal operation. This cleans the pump and pipes and increases efficiency. Multiple control for efficiency and reliability Using multiple pumps or compressors to keep a constant flow or pressure despite varying demands is a flexible, reliable and cost-efficient method. At all times you only use the number of pumps or compressors needed and thus the amount of energy required. An Emotron FDU or Emotron VFX controls up to seven motors without PLCs or other external equipment. When, for example in a pressure control application, one pump reaches its limit, or when the demand decreases,...

There is no need to worry about dry-running, overheating or blocked pipes. And you will be warned if, for example, your compressor is idling, a fan belt is broken or a valve has not fully opened. The AC drive simply protects the process and makes sure it works as efficiently as possible.
