Product Description:

The 178B0757 Frequency Converter supports industrial systems requiring adaptable input and output performance. The unit handles wide supply variations while protecting connected equipment. It offers programmable inputs and advanced PID control. This converter ensures dependable operation across challenging operating environments.

The supply frequency range of this 178B0757 frequency converter is 48 to 62 Hz with tolerance of ± 1 percent. The motor frequency rating supports both 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation. The switching at the supply input terminals L1, L2 and L3 is possible approximately once every two minutes. The output switching of the converter is unlimited that allows flexible system use without restrictions. The maximum short circuit rating is 100 amperes. The ramp times of the converter are adjustable from 0.05 seconds to 3,600 seconds that supports soft start and stop applications. The starting torque is rated at 180 percent for 0.5 seconds that allows robust load starting. The acceleration torque is rated at 100 percent for consistent speed increase during operation. The control card in this converter provides two programmable analog voltage or thermistor inputs located on terminals 53 and 54. The voltage input level ranges from 0 to ±10 V DC and is fully scalable. The input resistance for these channels is specified at 10 kΩ. Additionally, one programmable analog current input is available at terminal 60. The current input range is 0/4 to ± 20 mA also scalable for flexible use. These programmable inputs allow precise monitoring and control integration with external systems.

The differentiator gain limit function of this 178B0757 frequency converter helps maintain stable PID operation under varying conditions. It reduces excessive influence of quick error changes and allows adjustment of differentiation time for system stability. This ensures responsive but controlled regulation.
