Product Description:

The 131B8997 Automation Drive is engineered for versatility and seamless connectivity in industrial settings. It is integrated with an MCA 104 DeviceNet interface which allows straightforward communication with widely used control networks. It can function within a broad voltage spectrum of 380 to 500 volts which shows it adapts to diverse power infrastructures.

The 131B8997 automation drive has a typical shaft power of 11 kW which indicates the mechanical energy that the motor can regularly transmit to the shaft. It is equipped with a digital keypad or screen that allows direct interaction. It does not contain an internal circuit to dissipate excess energy when braking. It also does not come with a special input supply accessories or alternate configurations provided and connects directly to the standard incoming electrical lines. It will consume up to 22 amperes from the mains within 380–440 voltage brands under constant load. Its drive casing has solid, dependable openings for routing cables which ensures mechanical strength and electrical safety during installation. It has a rated energy conversion capacity of 11 kW and it has an inbuilt electromagnetic compatibility at a level that meets industrial standards. The module internal control firmware provided is the current general version available from the Danfoss company.

This 131B8997 automation drive is designed for use with a 3 phase electrical grid. It comes with the normal preconfigured control features without special add on modules for unique functions. It is able to provide up to 38.4 amperes for one minute without failure during temporary heavy loads. Its casing offers limited protection from touch and vertical drips of water which suggests it is suitable for indoor industrial automation use.

Frequently Asked Questions about 131B8997:

Q: How does the 131B8997 handle temporary overloads during operation?

A: It can tolerate short bursts of higher current for up to a minute, which helps prevent tripping under sudden load increases. This is useful for machinery with fluctuating torque demands.

Q: Can the 131B8997 be connected to varying global power supplies?

A: Yes, it operates reliably within a wide voltage window of 380–500 V. This makes it adaptable to electrical grids in different regions without modifications.

Q: What effect does the uncoated circuit board have on durability?

A: Uncoated PCBs are more sensitive to moisture and dust. The drive should be installed in controlled environments to avoid premature failure.

Q: How is DeviceNet integration practically beneficial in automation setups?

A: It allows straightforward communication with controllers and PLCs on established industrial networks. This reduces wiring complexity and improves diagnostic visibility.

Q: How does the 131B8997 ensure electromagnetic compatibility in industrial settings?

A: It meets recognized EMC standards, minimizing interference with nearby equipment. This is critical when multiple drives operate in close proximity.
