Description
187 kW Variable Frequency Drive – Fluxcon FLC500 High-Performance Vector Control
The Fluxcon FLC500 187 kW Variable Frequency Drive is a high-performance vector control drive for 3-phase electric motors, designed for demanding industrial applications where fast dynamic response, high accuracy, and reliable torque performance are essential. Thanks to its advanced vector control technology, this 187 kW VFD is suitable for both asynchronous and synchronous AC motors.
The decoupling of motor flux current and torque current enables the drive to respond extremely quickly and deliver high accuracy across a wide speed range. As a result, with sensorless vector control, 150% torque is already available from 0.5 Hz without an encoder. With encoder feedback (closed-loop vector control), 150% torque is even available from standstill.
Applications
The Fluxcon FLC500 187 kW Variable Frequency Drive is widely used in a broad range of industrial environments, including:
- Mixing and stirring applications
- Compressors
- Fans
- Pumps
- Conveyor belts and conveyor systems
- Hoisting and lifting equipment
- Winches and elevators
- General machine building
Control Modes and Functionality
The FLC500 supports multiple control modes, making this 7.5 kW Variable Frequency Drive highly versatile:
- Sensorless Vector Control
- Closed-Loop Vector Control with encoder feedback
- V/F control
In addition, the drive is equipped with a built-in simple PLC function. Up to 16 different speeds can be configured via digital I/O. The integrated PID controller makes it possible to regulate process variables based on an analog input signal.
I/O and Communication
The Fluxcon FLC500 comes standard with:
- 6–8 digital inputs
- 2 analog inputs
- 2 analog outputs
- 2 digital outputs, including 1 high-speed pulse output
- 1 relay output
For integration into industrial automation systems, various fieldbus communication options are available, including Modbus, CANbus, and Profibus.
Industrial Reliability
The special heavy-duty coating on the electrical components provides excellent protection against dust, moisture, chemical exposure, and vibration. The drive is designed for minimal EMC emissions and complies with the European Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS).
