The MotiFlex e100 three-phase AC drive range offers eight choices of power output from 1.5 to 33.5A. The higher power versions from 21.5 to33.5A provide the means to bring large AC induction motors into the Ethernet Powerlink control network, such as those used on the main axesof web processes. The drives can be used in both centralized control and distributed 'intelligent drive' scenarios, in both cases with substantial savings in the electrical power components typically required.Compatibility with the Ethernet Powerlink protocol introduces great flexibility into electrical system building. Each drive features an Ethernet hub enabling systems to be built using a simple daisy-chain connection scheme. The high-speed and deterministic network, operating at 100Mbits/sec, cuts cabling substantially, and can greatly reduce the costs of building large multi-axis systems. A single Ethernet Powerlinkmachine controller can manage systems up to 16 interpolated axes. Thedrive systems do not require a separate power supply unit.
