Product Description:
The 16.F5.A1H-1B-F is an AC axis drive module manufactured by KEB for the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It operates as the power stage between the mains supply and the motor, converting fixed-frequency input power into the variable voltage and frequency required for controlled motion. By regulating motor speed and torque on a single machine axis, the drive can adapt output to changing loads and programmed motion profiles. This capability supports applications such as conveyors, forming equipment, and positioning systems that require responsive motor control.
An inverter size code of 16 places the unit in the largest mechanical frame available for the platform, providing sufficient current capacity for motors rated up to 20 HP under typical 400 V operation. The installed Standard Board supplies general-purpose control logic and input/output functions for common drive-controlled axes. Its integrated encoder port supports the Hiperface protocol, allowing absolute position data to be exchanged with compatible high-resolution feedback devices. The drive also provides a TTL-level signal for auxiliary status information or a frequency reference. This signal can connect directly to compatible digital counters or motion controllers without requiring an additional line driver. These interfaces allow the module to process motion commands and feedback while maintaining closed-loop control of the connected motor.
The H housing form factor establishes the heat sink footprint, mounting centers, and airflow direction used by the unit. This arrangement aligns the module with other high-power F5 drives and supports consistent placement in an electrical enclosure. A factory-installed braking transistor directs regenerated energy to a suitable braking resistor, permitting rapid deceleration of inertial loads without a separate external chopper. The drive can also operate from a 230 V three-phase supply when configured as Unit B, providing an additional supply arrangement for compatible installations. Adequate mounting clearance must be maintained around the airflow path so heat can leave the power electronics during sustained operation. The braking circuit and encoder interface work independently, with one managing regenerated power and the other returning motor position data to the control system.
