Variable Speed Drives

ABB HVAC DRIVES

General Software Features of the Drives

Startup assistant allows first-time users to quickly customise the drive according to their needs.
This is complemented by a built-in help function to make parameter-by-parameter setting easy.
Motor control is implemented in scalar and vector control modes for induction,
permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance motors. Motor protection
features like thermal and overload protection are also established.
The energy optimiser feature optimises the motor flux so that
total energy consumption and motor noise level are reduced
when the drive operates below the nominal load.
The total efficiency can be improved by 1…20%
depending on load torque and speed.

Energy counter monitors used and saved energy
by the motor and displays it in kWh, currency or
CO emissions, to know how much exactly
2
was saved by the drive.

Drive safety and protection features include
overcurrent, DC over- and undervoltage, drive
overheating and short circuit protection, motor
phase loss and supply phase loss detection,
local control loss detection and many more.

People and machine safety is ensured with drive-
based safe-torque-off feature, also allowing to
conduct maintenance on the mechanical parts of
equipment without shutting it down.

Diagnostic assistant helps in locating the cause of
any disturbance to the drive, and even suggests
possible remedies. This reduces process downtime
by making repairs or adjustments effortless.

A built-in process PID/loop controller

makes the drive a self-governing unit that requires
no external logic input from the control room but requires
only an external process measurement.
Backup and restore feature makes automatic and manual
backups of the drive settings to the assistant panel.
A backup can be restored to another drive.
Adaptive programming provides extra flexibility by offering
easy alternative for simple programming needs. Download Drive
