Reliable

VLT Micro Drive is a full member of the VLT® family sharing the overall quality
of design, reliability and user-friendliness.
High quality components and genuine VLT® solutions makes VLT® Micro Drive
extremely reliable.

• Optimum heat dissipation – Longer lifetime
• High quality electronics/capasitors – Low lifetime cost
• All drives full load tested from factory – High reliability
• Earth fault, temperature and short circuit protection – Lean operation
• Circuit boards well protected and coated – Increased robustness

Small drive – high performance

Despite the compact size and the easy commissioning, VLT® Micro Drive can be set up to perform perfectly even in complex application set-ups. Approximately 100 parameters can be set to optimize energy efficiency and operation.

• Process PI-controller – No need for external controller
• Automatic Energy Optimizer (AEO) – Less energy consumption
• Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA) – Exploit motor’s full potential
• 150% motor torque up to 1 minute – Replace need for bigger drive
• Flying start (catch a spinning motor) – Lean operation – more up-time
• Electronic Thermal relay (ETR) – Replace external motor protection
• Smart Logic Controller – Often makes PLC ommissible
• Built-in RFI filter – Save cost and space

Ensured Reliability and Maximum Up / Time

Real space saving side-by-side
A compact book style design allows real side by side mounting without derating.

Minimum penetration of dust
VLT® MICRO Drive is designed to keep the forced ventilation away from the electronics. Printed circuit boards are well protected inside the drive.

Built-in RFI
Radio disturbance from motor cables is limited with the built-in RFI filter allowing for 15 m motor cables (screened). Meets EU norms.

Built-in brake functions
With built in DC and AC brake functions, VLT® Micro Drive can transform kinetic energy in the application into braking power to slow down the motor. A brake chopper is built-in the drives from 1.5 kW upwards.

Coated electronics are standard
All VLT® Micro Drive comes with coated electronics for longer lifetime and reliability.

Energy efficiency 98%
High quality VLT® power modules ensure cool running of the drive due to low losses.

Intelligent heat management
Process heat is removed through the heat sink, leaving electronics protected from dust and dirt from production.

Effective heat sink
An effective heat sink easily removes heat from the electronics, extending lifetime and reliability of the drive.

50˚ ambient temperature
Highly efficient cooling allows up to 50˚ ambient temperature.

Built-in Smart Logic Controller

The smart logic controller is a simple, and yet very clever way to have your drive, motor and application working together.

The smart logic controller is able to monitor any parameter that can be characterized as “true” or “false”.

This includes digital commands and also logic expressions, which allows even sensor outputs to influence the operation. Temperature, pressure, flow, time, load, frequency, voltage and other parameters combined with the operators “>”, “<”, “=”, “and” and “or” forms logic expressions that are false or true.

That is why Danfoss calls it a “logic” controller. As a result of this, you can program the controller to react on literally any event.
