Product Description:

KEB’s 11.F5.CDZ-Z000 is a compact axis drive in the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. The unit converts a fixed input supply into variable voltage and frequency for closed-loop control of one motor shaft in packaging lines, assembly stations, and material handling systems. By using common fieldbus profiles and standard parameter structures, the drive synchronizes motion with upstream PLC commands and supports coordinated axis control in automated cells.

The drive presents 8 digital inputs that can be wired as either PNP or NPN because the logic layer is switchable. These channels accept start, stop, or jog commands, and the inverter operates with a carrier frequency of 16 kHz. For process signals, it offers 2 analog inputs for current or voltage references, while 2 analog outputs return speed or torque feedback to a controller. The compact control section manages pulse-width modulation and relies on standard air cooling, so no additional fan kit is needed. A built-in braking transistor and RFI filter handle regenerative energy and attenuate line noise. Hardware protection is completed by a 150% overcurrent trip that stops conduction when excessive load is detected, and speed estimation remains sensorless because no encoder feedback card is installed.

This axis module operates from 230 V AC or a DC link and distributes control signals over 29 plug-in terminals, simplifying cabinet wiring changes. Two relay contacts and two transistor channels provide programmable outputs for fault signaling or external brake release, while eight selectable parameter sets support different motor ratings. The programmable outputs can also be used for status indication within the machine control scheme. During acceleration, the inverter can exceed nominal current by 125% for brief periods. Its steady-state switching frequency is 2 kHz to limit losses, and the short-time boost helps the drive manage peak loads without external choppers.
