Mitsubishi Electric Automation variable-frequency drive

The FR-E800 Series micro-drive features a built-in PLC and will include safety functionality meeting IEC 61508 standards and support various networks, including Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP and CC-Link IE TSN. The FR-E800 Series is designed for engineering, technology and product managers in industries such as packaging, material handling, food and beverage, and water and pumping, as well as those who are adopting PM motors to improve energy efficiency. The FR-E800 is built upon Mitsubishi Electric’s variable-speed-control technology. Additional features include extended programming functions, advanced fault detection features, and auto-tuning of PM motors for applications where energy efficiency is extremely important. The auto-tuning function includes configurable parameters to reach optimum performance, higher torque, faster acceleration and lower noise level for quiet operation. For OEMs that use induction motors in their equipment, the FR-E800 can control both induction and PM motors, helping to consolidate inventory and spare part management. The drive series is also dual-rated for light duty and normal duty, which may help achieve desired performance in smaller frame sizes.
