introductions.
Table 1 Key A1000 Features and Functions
F7 Drive A1000 Drive
The F7 drive is primarily used for general purpose industrial applications.
The A1000 drive is primarily used for general purpose and high performance industrial
applications, including those that require precise torque and speed control as well as control
of both induction and permanent magnet motors.
Key A1000 Features and Functions Key A1000 Features and Functions
• Closed or open loop vector control for outstanding regulation, torque production, and
position control capability
• Auxiliary Control Power Unit maximizes production time and efficiency by maintaining
network communication while main power is removed
• Continuous Auto-tuning optimizes performance by compensating for changes in motor
temperature
• Embedded Safe Torque Off minimizes downtime for applications requiring occasional
intervention (SIL CL2, PLd, Category 3)
• High Frequency Injection enables high precision open loop control of Interior Permanent
Magnet Motors
• Embedded function blocks, programmable with DriveWorksEZ, provide additional
application flexibility and the opportunity to eliminate separate controllers
• Fast acting current and voltage limiters help achieve continuous drive operation during
periods of excessive demand
• USB Copy Unit and Keypad configuration storage provide speed and convenience for
duplicate configuration of multiple drives
• High Slip Braking reduces installation cost and the need for dynamic braking resistors
• Removable terminal board with configuration storage provides convenience of
configuration backup
• Communication options for all major industrial networks provides high speed control and
monitoring, reducing installation cost
• Made with RoHS compliant materials
• DriveWizard computer software and Application Sets for easy configuration • Integrated DC Reactor (standard on 30 HP and larger) for input harmonic reduction
