MICRODRIVE ELITE FEATURES :

• 9 models range from 2.5A - 46A ( 0.75kw to 22kw ).
• A high performance, fully featured drive range for motors 0.75kW to 22kW (1hp  to 30hp).
• The Microdrive Elite offers exceptional performance, with both closed and open loop vector control, and PID process controller.
• IP54 enclosure rating ensures operational reliability even in harsh industrial environments.
• The Microdrive Elite as standard is fully filtered and EMC compliant no additional filters required.

• Optimum Control In General Industrial Applications
  • Soft starting, variable speed and intelligent process control comes as standard with the Microdrive Elite.
    This latest PDL Electronics series is ideally suited for all general industrial applications requiring accurate control.
  • Variable speed allows accurate process control, improved product quality and throughput, and Energy Savings.
  • Blending/mixing - better control of product components and their preparation.
  • Speed follower/adjust - conveyor system control, adjustment of throughput for best result (baking ovens, bottling, product assembly etc).
  • Pressure/flow control (Energy Savings) - pump/fan, liquid/air/gas flow etc.
    Via Internal PID Process Controller.
  • Multimotor - equal load sharing in linked conveyor, feed systems etc.
  • Soft Start - prevent damage and upset processes from DOL starts of conveyors, feed systems etc.
• Optimum Control In High Level Applications Requiring Precise Control Of Torque and Speed
  • Cranes, elevators, hoists requiring precise motion control and stop/hold capacity.
  • Paper machines and rolling mills where precise control prevents disruption of sensitive processes.
  • Materials handling/indexing where precise delivery and positioning of product is essential.
• Optimum Control In Pump and Fan Applications
  • Energy savings of up to 50% are achievable by matching pump/fan speed to process requirements.
  • Stepless speed control eliminates stop/start and throttling/damper induced problems in pumps and fans.
  • Variable speed prevents water hammer surge and increases pump life.
  • Internal PID Process Controller for constant pressure/flow systems.

ULTRADRIVE ELITE FEATURES :
