Optimise efficiency with new AC drives
22 April 2014
AC drive manufacturer, VACON, has announced three new products: the VACON 100, VACON 100 X and VACON 20 X. All three new products are designed to help users optimise efficiency in applications throughout all industries.

Offering low cost of ownership, the VACON 100 is a multipurpose drive that can be adapted for a wide range of applications.
Among its versatile features for easy system integration are a Safe Torque Off (STO) function, on-board Ethernet-based communication protocols such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET IO and Modbus TCP as well as ATEX-certified motor over-temperature protection.
The VACON 100 X and VACON 20 X are part of Vacon's new range of decentralised AC drives for situations where space comes at a premium. These drives also bring cost savings as no additional enclosures are needed.
