VLT® AutomationDrive
The VLT® AutomationDrive is a single drive concept that covers an entire range of applications,
which is a major benefit in commissioning, operating and maintaining the equipment.
The modular open-technology platform that VLT® Automation Drive is built on makes it exceptionally adaptable and programmable. Its configurable, user-friendly interface supports local languages and letters.
Pluggable options
The drive solution can be adapted to any application due to the flexible option structure. Numerous options are available and can be mounted and tested from factory or be plugged in later for change-over or upgrade.
Adapts to the future
The modular concept of VLT® Auto-mation Drive makes it highly adaptable – also to future features and options.
Modularity offers the benefit of buying on a need-to-have basis without losing future possibilities.
Hot pluggable Control Panel
The Local Control Panel (LCP) can be plugged in directly or connected through a cable for remote commissioning.
The LCP can be disconnected during operation and replaced with a blind cover. Settings are easily transferred via the LCP from one drive to another or from a PC to a drive with the VLT® Set-up Software MCT 10.
Awarded
VLT® AutomationDrive has received the Frost & Sullivan award for innovation and the iF Design Award for its user-friendliness.
