Product Description:

The 131B0297 three phase Automation Drive offers 0.25 kW output with standard cable entry and has a built in filter. It comes with the latest software release and is supplied with a graphical local control panel. The module's multilingual support ensures straightforward installation and reliable performance for light duty industrial automation tasks.

The 131B0297 automation drive housing is open and provides only basic protection against fingers as its enclosure IP rating is IP20. Its motion control unit is able to deliver a peak power of 0.25 kilowatt when temporarily overloaded at 160% of its standard rating. This module has no built in braking transistor for dissipating excess energy when the motor decelerates. Its apparent power demand from the electrical supply is roughly 0.65 of a kilovolt ampere. It itself wastes about 21 watts in heat when operating under heavy duty which represents inefficiency inherent in the electronics. Its interface includes a graphical local control panel essentially a display and keypad combination that gives on site control, parameter adjustment and monitoring with a visual screen. Its input supply must be a three lag alternating current system which is standard in industrial automation environments.

The 131B0297 automation drive can supply a steady flow of up to one point eight amperes in heavy duty mode. Its acceptable input voltage range lies between 200 - 240 volts of alternating current. It features an internal radio frequency interference filter which minimizes electrical noise sent back into the supply network and reduces electromagnetic disturbances for surrounding equipment. In this module, the momentary surges can reach 3 amperes under heavy duty operation which is crucial during rapid acceleration.

Frequently Asked Questions about 131B0297:

Q: What type of electrical supply does the 131B0297 automation drive require?

A: It operates on a three-phase low-voltage supply, making it suitable for standard industrial power networks. This ensures stable torque delivery and efficient motor performance.

Q: How does the IP20 chassis affect installation?

A: The open housing provides only basic protection against touch, so the unit must be mounted in a protective control cabinet. It is not intended for dusty or wet environments.

Q: Can the 131B0297 handle short bursts of heavy load?

A: Yes, the drive is engineered to tolerate temporary overload conditions, allowing it to supply higher current for short intervals. This helps during motor startup or sudden torque demands.

Q: What is the significance of the built-in RFI filter?

A: The internal filter suppresses electrical noise fed back into the mains supply. This reduces electromagnetic interference, helping the system comply with EMC standards and preventing disruptions in nearby equipment.

Q: How does the continuous current capability of the VLT FC 302 drive affect its use?

A: It can provide steady current delivery suitable for smaller motors in demanding duty cycles. This makes it effective for applications needing reliable operation without overheating.
