Product Description:

The 32.F5.A1P-B0-A is an axis drive module manufactured by KEB and is part of the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It regulates the torque, speed, and position of high-power three-phase induction or synchronous motors in automated machinery. Its closed-loop control supports production lines, test stands, and large material-handling equipment that require precise motion under changing loads.

The power stage is designed for a three-phase supply in the 690 V voltage class, enabling direct connection to compatible plant mains without an input transformer. A continuous output of 400 kW is the maximum motor shaft power the inverter can sustain under rated cooling, while a thermal rating of 430 A sets the long-term current limit. Short transient overloads are supported by a peak current capability of 538 A, allowing rapid acceleration of high-inertia loads. The switching devices operate at a nominal frequency of 2 kHz, balancing harmonic content against semiconductor losses. The drive incorporates an internal braking transistor so excess kinetic energy can be dissipated through an external resistor during deceleration.

The standard control board executes velocity and position loops with a deterministic scan time of 1 ms. Two analog inputs are sampled at 12-bit resolution for speed or torque references. Feedback from incremental or absolute encoders is accepted on two dedicated channels with a computed 32-bit position word. Eight digital inputs, two digital outputs, and two relay outputs connect the drive to PLC interlocks, while a bank of 29 control terminals makes these signals available through spring-cage connectors. The size 2 × P housing fits multi-axis cabinets, and the three-phase input path is configured for line reactors. The standard board manages the analog and encoder inputs as well as the installed braking transistor without requiring optional plug-ins.
