Product Description:

The 13.F5.M1D-39GA is an axis inverter produced by KEB for the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It processes three-phase motor power and feedback so a single unit can command a servo or induction motor in automated machinery, conveyors, or positioning tables. Within a plant network, it functions as the local motor controller, interpreting I/O signals and modulating pulse patterns to match commanded speed or torque.

This drive operates from a three-phase 230 V AC/DC supply and can deliver up to 7.5 HP to a connected machine axis. A carrier frequency of 4 kHz shapes the PWM output, balancing acoustic noise and motor heating. Short bursts up to 180% of rated current accommodate acceleration, while an overcurrent trip threshold at 216% stops conduction before device damage. The internal braking transistor dissipates regenerated energy during fast deceleration. Size code 13 and housing D indicate the mechanical footprint and mounting points, and the standard cooling path channels heat away from the power stage. Seventeen control terminals, five digital inputs, one analog input, and a total digital-output load of 50 mA allow direct wiring to sensors, contactors, or PLC flags. Incremental-to-incremental encoder channels supply position feedback, and the controller scans every 1 ms so motion commands are acted on without perceptible delay.

The analog channel resolves signals to 11-bit, enabling fine speed trim in response to process variables, and its single input avoids channel-to-channel skew. Counter functions detect edges up to 500 Hz, supporting tachometer pickup or product indexing. A relay rated at 30 VDC / 1 A can switch an external brake or fault lamp independently of the solid-state outputs. The varnished board finish, inverter size, and installed braking element work with the cooling airflow to support reliable operation, while the 17-terminal field strip, five digital lines, and encoder interface provide the I/O density needed for mid-range machine axes.
