2. Features
(1) Expanded Application Range
Fuji Electric’s proprietary technology of dynamic torque-vector control enables high power output as soon as the motor is started up. This makes it possible to expand into applications that were not possible until now, such as centrifuges and guided vehicles.
(2) Simple Operation of Output Frequency
The operation knob makes it easy to change the output frequency without the use of external devices.
(3) Centralized Control via Network Connection
The standard network functions (Modbus-RTU and Fuji standard inverter protocols) make it possible to centralize the control of multiple inverters.
(4) Complete Compatibility with the Conventional Product
The external dimensions, terminal positions and such are the same as the conventional product. Also, the model code used for commanding the execution program has been continued as well, making it easy to interchange products.
