Universal Ethernet capability
02 January 2015
The integrated features of the new MotiFlex e180 range of three-phase AC motor drives from ABB means that the drive platform can be used – without additional hardware – in almost any type of application: with a host of different control systems architectures and communications and motor feedback schemes.

At the heart of this universal system integration capability is flexible real-time Ethernet compatibility and feedback interfacing, built-in functional safety, and the ability to be used in many different types of control system architectures - from centralised control to intelligent stand-alone motion solutions.
The drives may even be configured using a range of different continuous/peak power output modes to optimise them for applications with different precision, dynamic performance and duty cycle requirements.
