Vacon NXS - robust drive for heavy use

The Vacon NXS is a compact AC drive in the power range of 0.75 - 560 kW and supply voltages of 208-690 V for heavy use in machines, buildings and all branches of industry. The robust design incorporates effective protection against supply network disturbances. Trip-free operation is also guaranteed due to sophisticated motor control principles and motor/drive protection features, component selection and effective cooling.

Enclosure classes of IP21 and IP54 and integrated high-level EMC filters make the Vacon NXS suitable for all environments. The Start-Up Wizard and the standard All-In-One Application Package make parameter setting extremely easy in all cases, from simple to complex. The wide and flexible standard I/O and option for five I/O boards provide versatile controllability. The most common fieldbus options are also available. There are no fixed inputs or outputs in the Vacon NXS. There are five slots (A, B, C, D and E) for I/O boards, and a suitable board can be selected for each slot. The Vacon NXS units are delivered with OPT-A1 and OPT-A2 boards if the I/O is not specified. In many countries, boards OPT-A1 and OPT-A3 are used as standard I/O as the galvanically (double) isolated thermistor input is often required. Removable terminals, snap-in card installation, automatic card identification and instructions on the drive help making quick connections. If necessary, the inputs, outputs and fieldbus boards can be added in the field. The Vacon NXS is simply the most flexible frequency converter series on the market.
