Product Description:

The EFC5610-18K5-3P4-MDA-7P-FCPNN-NNNN is a frequency converter produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the EFC Frequency Converters series. It is designed to control the speed of three-phase induction motors in automated machinery, allowing efficient acceleration, deceleration, and steady running without relying on mechanical gear changes. By varying output frequency in response to control commands, the unit supports conveyors, pumps, and process equipment that need adjustable motor speed during normal operation. This operating method helps the connected machine match motor output more closely to process demand.

This converter communicates through Modbus, allowing parameter data and status words to be exchanged directly with a PLC or HMI. The power section accepts 400 V (AC 380…480 V -15 % / +10 %), so it can be connected to common industrial low-voltage networks. In heavy-duty operation, it can regulate motors up to 18.5 kW on a continuous basis under rated ambient conditions. An IP20 housing helps protect the electronics from accidental finger contact when the unit is mounted inside a control cabinet. For conducted and radiated emissions, the built-in filter is rated for industrial area, Class C3, which helps reduce high-frequency noise on the mains in factory environments.

Motor regulation is handled through standard vector control (SVC), allowing strong torque response in many applications without requiring an external encoder. The front panel uses a standard LCD display with potentiometer, so operating values and diagnostic information can be adjusted directly at the drive. The unit uses Frame Size G, which provides a consistent mounting format within this product line. Its power terminals are arranged for three-phase power, supporting balanced current flow and standard motor connections in industrial panels.
