2420 Integrated Performance AC Drive
The 2420 is an all-digital pulse-width-modulated (PWM) AC drive that provides superior control of three-phase AC motors.
The 2420 is an all-digital pulse-width-modulated (PWM) AC drive that provides superior control of three-phase AC motors. Its revolutionary technology and design make it the optimum solution where superior performance, flexibility, and ease of operation are important.
Overview
Motor-Independent Design
A unique design incorporating a proprietary digital current regulator and a state-of- the-art controller allows the 2420 to operate any AC induction, AC synchronous, or brushless DC motor without the current-loop setup required by conventional drives. Digital space vector control can be selected for reduced motor noise and low current ripple.
Application Flexibility
The 2420 is extremely flexible and can accommodate a wide range of servo applications. It can be configured to control torque, velocity, or position in applications requiring either constant-, variable-, or extended-torque. Extensive controller options enable the analog and digital I/O, feedback, and serial communication capabilities of the drive to be tailored to the requirements of the application.
Auto Tuning
Once routine electrical connections have been made, simple-to-use auto-tuning features adjust virtually all motor and inertial parameters to the given motor and connected load. Simply enter a few values from the motor nameplate, and the advanced setup routines do the rest. The drive is completely tuned within minutes.
Integrated Design
The convenient, integrated design of the 2420 provides space, cost, and energy savings in many applications. The drive package incorporates both rectifier and inverter units. The rectifier is comprised of a full-wave diode bridge, a link choke, a bus-charging circuit, a dynamic braking circuit, and a capacitor bank. The inverter consists of a six-IGBT, four-quadrant PWM amplifier that operates from the DC bus of the rectifier.
Energy Savings
Applications that operate in a cyclic fashion may regenerate energy from inertial loads. That energy may be dissipated into a resistor using the dynamic braking control within the unit. Optional capacitor banks can alternately be used to store and recycle the regenerative energy.
Application-Specific Software
Application software determines the specific features and operation of the 2420. A wide variety of general-purpose and application-engineered software options enables each drive to be tailored to specific customer requirements. Software is available for such applications as test stands, elevators, press feeders, winders, rotary cutoffs, spindles, flying cutoffs, and wire drawing, to name a few. Further customization is possible with many programs using UEdit™, a Windows-based programming tool that allows users to extend an application using ladder diagrams and function blocks.
Power Quality
The 2420 incorporates a link choke that provides near-unity overall power factor and low harmonic line currents at all motor speeds.
Optically Isolated Digital I/O
All digital inputs and outputs are optically isolated. Depending upon the controller, as many as 32 individually isolated digital I/O are locally provided, each of which can be programmed by the application to be an input or output. The voltage of each can be selected from a wide range of AC and DC values.
Transducer/Transducerless Design
The 2420 can operate with or without a feedback transducer. An incremental encoder is typically used for feedback, although absolute encoders, resolvers, and serial sincos encoders are also supported. Transducerless operation is offered for less demanding velocity-loop applications.
