Product Description:

The 17.F5.C1G-Y02D belongs to the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series manufactured by KEB. It is an AC inverter axis drive used to modulate three-phase motor speed and torque in automated equipment, allowing coordinated motion on production lines and material-handling cells. The unit is suited for applications that require responsive motor control and steady axis behavior as process loads change. Because it controls motor output electronically, it can support repeatable acceleration, deceleration, and speed regulation in synchronized machine sections.

This model provides an auxiliary position or speed reference as a TTL-level square wave, enabling direct coupling to high-speed counters or PLC inputs without additional conditioning. Feedback from the motor is accepted through an Incremental TTL encoder interface, which supports accurate phase tracking and fine velocity trimming. When powered from a 230 V mains supply, the inverter supports motors up to 25 HP, providing adequate output for conveyors, pumps, or small extruders. The mechanical outline uses housing form factor code G, so its mounting holes and airflow paths match other G-frame Combivert units. A factory-installed braking transistor is included; this semiconductor switch dissipates regenerated energy through an external resistor and helps prevent DC-bus overvoltage during rapid deceleration.

The drive uses inverter size code 17, which corresponds to its thermal capacity, connector spacing, and allowable cable cross-sections for line and motor leads. Encoder wiring terminates on a 15-pin SubD connector, reducing installation time by using a single shielded plug for incremental channels and supply voltage. The drive is in the Unit B power class, which groups models with the same protective components and braking resistor arrangement. This layout helps keep wiring organized in control cabinets where encoder feedback and motor power must be routed separately.
