Product Description:

The 14.F5.M1E-3AGA is an axis drive module produced by KEB within the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It regulates speed, torque, and positioning of three-phase motors by linking higher-level motion commands to the electrical power delivered to the motor windings. The module converts control signals into managed motor output so that axis movement remains stable during acceleration, constant speed, and stopping. It is suitable for automated machinery that uses coordinated motion, including conveyors, indexing tables, and other general industrial axes.

This unit accepts a 3-phase 400 V AC/DC supply and switches the output transistors at a rated frequency of 4 kHz, balancing motor smoothness with thermal loading. The control section includes 17 terminals for separate enable, fault reset, analog signal, and common wiring. Input commands use PNP logic and are handled through 5 digital inputs, while status signals leave the drive through 2 digital outputs for ready or fault indication. One analog input and one analog output are available for speed reference scaling or feedback retransmission. The relay output uses a single changeover contact, and the maximum continuous motor rating is 10 HP, including 230 V operation. Housing form code E matches the mechanical footprint used for inverter size 14.

For feedback, the primary encoder port uses a D-Sub 15-Pole connector that supports a Resolver interface. A secondary D-Sub 9-pole port accommodates a TTL-output incremental encoder, which allows redundant feedback or dual-loop control when an additional position signal is needed. A factory-installed braking transistor dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, removing the need for an external chopper. This arrangement helps the drive manage returned energy during stopping and other quick speed changes.
