Product Description:

The EFC5610-18K5-3P4-MDA-7P-SVPNN-NNNN is a frequency converter produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the EFC Frequency Converters series. It receives three-phase AC power and delivers variable frequency and voltage to control standard induction motors in industrial automation systems, allowing speed adjustment without mechanical gear changes. This arrangement lets connected machinery run at speeds that better match process demand instead of operating only at fixed line frequency. Because the output frequency is adjustable, the drive can reduce mechanical shock during starts and allow smoother operation during routine speed changes.

The converter communicates with plant controllers through Modbus, so setpoints and status data can be exchanged over a simple two-wire network. Its input window is centered on 400 V and accepts a full input range of 380 to 480 V, making it suitable for most factory mains services. A three-phase power topology permits balanced loading of the supply transformer, and under heavy-duty operation the unit supports motors up to 18.5 kW. Torque delivery is managed by standard vector control SVC, which helps maintain speed accuracy during load transients. The control configuration is standard, and the Flex-Control section provides discrete and analog I/O for local interlocking. There is no integrated safety function, so a separate safety device is required where safe torque off is needed.

A compact enclosure with Frame size G fits inside 600 mm switchgear cabinets and leaves room for cabling bends. The IP 20 protection rating is suitable for clean control cabinets where protection against accidental finger contact is needed. Conducted emissions are limited by the built-in filter rated for Industrial area, class C3, so the drive can be used on industrial networks when grounding and installation practices are followed. For local setup and operation, a standard LCD display with potentiometer provides parameter access and manual frequency adjustment without external tools. The cabinet-mounted design keeps power and control wiring in one location, which can simplify enclosure layout in distributed equipment.
