User Interfaces

Panel Cover - The purpose of the panel cover is to protect the drive's connection surfaces.  The ACS350 drive is delivered with a panel cover as standard.  In addition there are two alternative control panels available as options.

Basic Control Panel - The basic control panel features a multilingual alphanumeric display for simple drive programming.  The control panel has various assistants and a built-in help function to guide the user.  It includes a real time clock, which can be used during fault logging and in controlling the drive, such as start / stop.  the control panel can be used for copying parameters for back up or for downloading to another drive.  A large graphical display and soft keys make it extremely simple to navigate.

Potentiometer - Potentiometer MPOT-01 with two switches : start / stop and forward / reverse.  Polarity is selected with DIP switches.  No external power source is needed for the potentiometer.

Panel Mounting Kit - the panel mounting kit enables mounting of control panels on cabinet doors.  this kit includes a 3 m extension cable, a gasket, mounting screws and a mounting template.

FlashDrop - FlashDrop is a power palm sized tool for fast and simple parameter selecting and setting.  It gives possibility to hide selected parameters to protect the machine.  Only the parameters needed in the application are shown.  The tool can copy parameters between two drives or between a PC and a drive.  All the above can be done without a power connection to the drive - in fact, it is not even necessary to unpack the drive.

Machine InterfacesMachine Interfaces

The plug-in fieldbus modules bring connectivity to major automation systems.  A single twisted pair avoids large amounts of conventional cabling, thereby reducing costs and increasing system reliability.

The ACS350 supports the following fieldbus options:

  • DeviceNet
  • PROFIBUS DP
  • CANopen
  • Modbus RTU

Protection and Installation

NEMA 1 Kit - The NEMA 1 kit includes a connection box for finger protection and a hood for protection against dirt and dust.

Terminal Cover - the terminal cover is for protection of the I/O connections

Clamping plates - the clamping plates are used for protection against electrical disturbances with 360o grounding.  The clamping plates with the clamps are included in the drive package as standard.
