Available up to 30 kW in 400 V, the new Vacon NXL drive is a trouble-free choice for all open-loop applications including conveyors, mixers, fans, pumps or packaging machines. The modular hardware and software design allows cost-effective solutions for most requirements, from simple fan control to versatile machine control including PLC functions. The standard control I/O can be extended with two option boards allowing e.g. more relay outputs, sensor inputs or fieldbus interfaces. "The new Vacon NXL is extremely easy to install and use. The credit-card-sized instruction guide is readily available in each unit," says Mr Heikki Hiltunen, Executive Vice President, Vacon Group. Typically, only four steps are required to set up the unit: activating the Start-up Wizard, selecting the mode, tuning the motor nominal speed and tuning the motor nominal current.
