Compact frequency inverter for the beverage industry
SEW-EURODRIVE is introducing the MOVITRAC® advanced compact control cabinet inverter to the market. This is an inverter that is ideal for use in the material transport and handling technology application areas of the beverage industry.
The new MOVITRAC® advanced inverter for control cabinet installation is characterized by its high degree of flexibility in combination with a compact design. Thanks to its extensive power range of 0.25 to 315 kW and comprehensive and scalable function package, it is suitable for a wide variety of applications.
As a constituent of the MOVI-C® modular automation system, the MOVITRAC® advanced inverter can control both asynchronous and synchronous AC motors with or without an encoder. The standardized single-cable technology is available with incremental or absolute encoders, whereby the MOVILINK® DDI data interface takes care of automatic identification and startup of a drive from SEW-EURODRIVE.
An integrated communication interface allows the inverter to be connected to the most popular control systems. This is optionally achieved via PROFINET, EtherNet/IPTM, EtherCAT/SBusPLUS, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT CiA402 or POWERLINK CiA402. Functional safety can also be configured with this inverter – from the integrated STO safety function to higher-level safety functions and reliable communication.
With a decentralized inverter from the MOVI-C® modular automation system, SEW-EURODRIVE can also provide a system solution with identical functions to the MOVITRAC® advanced control cabinet inverter. This allows the customer to choose between centralized and decentralized inverter technology, thereby ensuring maximum flexibility with regard to the system structure.
When used in combination with electromechanical actuators from SEW-EURODRIVE, the inverter provides a perfectly coordinated drive train for maximum system availability. Particularly in combination with the MOVIGEAR® classic mechatronic drive unit, the new MOVITRAC® advanced inverter constitutes a ready-to-use drive system for minimal startup and service requirements without the need for engineering tools. The efficiency-optimized drive system consisting of the inverter and drive unit also fulfills the highest normative requirements with regard to energy efficiency for reducing losses in the overall system.
Typical applications in the beverage industry include container transport and filling processes, packaging unit transport, as well as pallet transport and palletizing tasks, for example.
