VLT® AutomationDrive
The VLT® AutomationDrive is extremely configurable and represents a drive concept covering the whole production or machine.
The make-through modular design makes upgrade easy as well as adaptation of future features.
On-board manuals make operation easy and the built in Smart Logic Control allows for basic programming covering many common PLC functions.
Pluggable options
Numerous I/O options, fieldbus options and programmable extensions are available, mounted and
tested from factory or to plug in for changeover or upgrade.
Awarded VLT® Automation drive was given the Frost & Sullivan award for innovation and the iF design award for its
user friendliness.
The perfect solution for:
• Industrial automation
• High dynamic applications
• Safety installations

Options
Synchronizing and positioning – The Synchronizing Controller and positioning controller expands the functional properties and offers a
host of user-friendly benefits based on thought-through and innovative features
MCB 112 PTC Relay Card – Stops the motor in case of overheating (signal from sensor) and resume operation when the temperature is normal.
Sine-Wave Filters – Optimize the motor power current providing a sinusoidal phase-to-phase motor voltage. They reduce motor insulation stress, acoustic noise, and bearing currents.
dU/dt Filters – Eliminate very fast voltage changes to reduce the motor insulations stress. Are recommended in applications with older motors, aggressive environments or frequent braking.
