FRENIC-Ace (E3)
Product Information

Provides a full range of motor control and enhanced functionality.
Supports a wide variety of networks to realize IoT.

Faster operating speeds

Increases the maximum output frequency of all control systems to 599 Hz and supports applications that require high-speed rotation and minimal speed and torque fluctuations.

Example：Machine tools, compressors, etc.

Note): Due to revised export control regulations (for frequency converters), the inverter will trip when the output frequency exceeds the upper limit of 599 Hz.

Can be used with any motor

Improves speed control range to stabilize torque at low speeds. Enables multi-drive with our induction and synchronous motors, as well as other company motors.

Advantages

Enhanced network functions

Expands supported networks, contributing to reduced equipment wiring and data linkage.

Standard

RS-485 port (DX-/DX+) provided separately from the main unit port (RJ-45 connector). Supports two protocols (Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP) using these connections.

Option

Option cards are available to connect to various internationally-popular industrial protocols.

Side-by-side installation

Enables side-by-side installation and use at full capacity when multiple inverters are arranged in a panel. Saves space via compact control panel design.

E.g., 3-phase 200 V series 0.75 kW

Note): Equivalent to conventional E2 Series.

Note): Install them so that vibration, impact, installation tolerance are taken into consideration. Please note that side-by side installation can cause problems in removing the adapter for the keypad option.

Lineup of 4 types for each power supply voltage. Supports a wide range of applications from light loads to heavy loads.

Wide range of power supply voltages and capacity expansion

Supports wide range of inverter power supply specifications, including 3-phase 200 V series / 400 V series and single-phase 200 V series.
Available in capacities up to 22 kW (HHD), a finless type and an Ethernet type have been added to the lineup.
Newly added to the lineup were the single-phase, 200 V, high carrier frequency normal duty (HND) type. Delivering a higher current rating
for some 400 V series, models in a wide range of capacities are selectable depending on the applications.

Note 1): See the bottom of the page for details.

Wide range of power supply voltages and capacity expansion

Ethernet type

Reduces tact time

Reduces tact time for setting, updating, and monitoring via the
Internet.

Shortens wiring work and reduces wiring

Shortens wiring time and reduces wiring for conventional control
signals DI/DO and AI/AO. Compact installation without requiring
option cards.

Compatible with 24 V power supplies

External 24 V power supply input enables checking communication
establishment prior to system start-up.

Note): I/O interface is inoperative.

Note): This type does not support the use of option cards.

Finless type

Space savings

Absence of cooling fins enables more compact and efficient
installation of control panels and equipment.

Note 2): For details on the finless type, refer to the FRENIC-Ace Finless type catalog (24A1-E-0185) or consult our sales representatives.
