Decentralised inverter now offers extended power range

Nord Drivesystems specifically developed its decentralised NORDAC ONSK 300P frequency inverters for the requirements of horizontal conveyor technology. The inverters are characterised by an integrated Ethernet interface, IIoT capability, full pluggability and a compact design. Now, the power range in the NORDAC ON range has been extended to 3 kW.

The NORDAC ON frequency inverters are part of the NORD modular system and can be optimally combined with the manufacturer’s motors. The drives can be used over a wide speed range and thus allow for variant reduction, for example in large intralogistics systems.

The NORDAC ON is now designed for power ranges of up to 2.6 kW, and the NORDAC ON+ for up to 3 kW. Both have integrated Industrial Ethernet interfaces. The communication protocols, for example Profinet, EtherNet/IP or EtherCAT, can be easily set via parameters.

Firmware updates can also be implemented via Ethernet. This makes the NORDAC ON/ON+ frequency inverters optimally suited for integration into IIoT environments. The equipment also includes a diagnostic interface, M12 connections for sensors and actuators and, with the NORDAC ON+, an additional protocol-based encoder interface that is well protected against interference.

The space-saving decentralised inverters can be easily integrated into conveyor systems, significantly reducing wiring efforts compared to centralised frequency inverters. Its pluggable connections make the NORDAC ON/ON+ an economic plug-and-play solution for intralogistics applications. The inverters are suitable for direct motor mounting or for wall mounting.

As with all Nord frequency inverters, the NORDAC ON/ON+ is equipped with a powerful PLC for functions close to the drive. It can process data from connected sensors and actuators, initiate control sequences and communicate drive and application data to the control centre, networked components or to cloud storage.
