Variable frequency drives

PowerXL DC1 compact variable frequency drives

The PowerXL™ DC1 variable frequency drive stands out with its small size and user-friendly interface. The DC1 was specifically developed for use in standard applications such as fans, pumps and conveyors. With the activation of additional parameters and functionalities, the DC1 can also cover demanding applications involving IE4 (Super Premium Efficiency) motors. Thanks to their quick and simple commissioning, the DC1 drives are ideally suited for serial production. With various available mains voltages and a performance range of 0.37 kW to 22 kW, the DC1 also offers maximum flexibility.

Core features

  • Rapid commissioning thanks to 14 basic parameters
  • CANopen and Modbus RTU onboard
  • optional SmartWire-DT and EtherNet/IP connection
  • Degrees of protection: IP20 and IP66
  • Integrated PI controller
  • Meets international standards (CE, UL, cUL, c-Tick, RoHS, UkrSEPRO)

Can be adapted to any application.

All DC1 models are available with an optional integrated EMC filter or brake transistor. For example, the number of relay outputs can be easily expanded using plug-in expansion modules. In addition, the devices can be connected to Ethernet/IP-based protocols and to the SmartWire-DT system via the available communication modules.

A high degree of protection for distributed applications

In addition to the IP20 devices, an IP66-rated version of the DC1 is also available for applications up to 22 kW. Therefore, using the devices in moist, dusty or contaminated environments poses no problem at all. Thanks to the waterproof ABS housing and the corrosion-resistant heat sink, the devices are suitable for use in the food industry, in agriculture or in vehicle wash systems. The IP66 devices are optionally available with local control elements. These elements feature an integrated setpoint potentiometer as well as selector switch and a main switch, and enable the configuration of the DC1 drives directly on site.

A powerful commissioning tool.

Configuration made easy, with the drivesConnect software for PC. In addition, the tool makes it possible to directly trace the behaviour of specific display values during operation, thereby enabling optimum diagnostics.
