What is Inverters?

1 - Introduction to Inverters

  • An inverter is a device that can convert alternating current (AC) from one frequency to another. By altering the frequency of the electrical current, the inverter allows for flexible control of the speed and torque of electric motors, optimizing performance and saving energy in machinery systems.
  • In industrial environments, inverters play a crucial role in controlling motor speed without the need for complex mechanical methods. This capability not only helps reduce energy consumption but also extends motor life, minimizes breakdowns, and enhances the stability of the system.
  • The benefits of using inverters are clear, from saving operational costs and reducing noise to improving product quality. Additionally, inverters help mitigate the impact of inrush currents on the electrical system, protecting other devices in the network from adverse effects.

2 - Applications of Inverters in Various Industries

  • Manufacturing and Fabrication:
    • In manufacturing and fabrication lines, inverters help regulate the speed of machines such as conveyors, cutters, and mixers. This not only increases production efficiency but also ensures consistent product quality.
  • HVAC Systems (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning):
    • Inverters are used in HVAC systems to adjust the speed of fans and compressors, maintaining stable environmental conditions in buildings and factories while saving energy by only using the required power.
  • Water and Wastewater Treatment:
    • In water and wastewater treatment plants, inverters regulate the speed of pumps and fans, optimizing the pumping and distribution process. This flexible control also helps reduce energy consumption and operational costs.
  • Textile Industry:
    • Inverters are used to control the speed of looms and other processing equipment, achieving high precision in production and enhancing flexibility in changing product parameters.
  • Mining and Minerals Industry:
    • In mining applications, inverters control equipment such as conveyors, crushers, and screens. Speed and torque adjustment helps increase extraction efficiency and maintain equipment more effectively.
  • Food and Beverage Industry:
    • Inverters assist in adjusting the speed of machinery in food and beverage processing lines, from mixing ingredients to packaging products, improving product quality and boosting production efficiency.

3 - Types of Inverters Offered by Feyana

  • Danfoss Inverters:
    • Danfoss is one of the leading manufacturers of inverters.
    • Quick installation and setup can be achieved thanks to easily accessible connectors, integrated DIN rail mounting, and a parameter copy tool that allows for copying settings without the need for grid power.
    • The parameter list can be freely edited, and specific application parameter sets and default settings can be created. The PLC function allows custom control logic to be integrated into the drive, and unused I/O options can be utilized for other machine-related tasks.
    • The integrated RS-485 interface provides a simple and cost-effective serial control interface for the drive.
    • With optional modules, VACON 20 can be connected to almost any fieldbus system based on RS-485 or Ethernet, including Profibus DP, CANOpen, DeviceNet, Profinet I/O, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP/IP, and Ethernet IP.

  • Rockwell Inverters:
    • Rockwell Automation, a leading company in industrial automation and digital transformation in the United States.
    • Cost-effective and easy-to-use options for general applications requiring safety features.
    • Comes with built-in I/O, ideal for machine builders and system integrators looking to reduce engineering costs, bring machines to market faster, and meet end-user demands for higher-performance machines.
    • Choose from optimized size controllers for low-power applications where space is limited.
    • The Dual-port EtherNet/IP™ optional module provides flexible and cost-effective methods to leverage the EtherNet/IP network.

  • Bosch Rexroth Inverters:
    • Bosch Rexroth – Bosch’s Drive and Control Division within the Bosch Group, with global application experience in Mobile Applications, Machinery Applications and Engineering, Factory Automation, and Industry 4.0 solutions.
    • Bosch Rexroth VFC inverters are high-quality products from a reputable company in the field of industrial automation and control, widely used in various industrial applications to improve performance and save energy.
    • The single-axis HMS01 inverters are supplied with DC voltage and generate an AC output voltage that is adjusted with variable amplitude and frequency to operate a motor. They have an installation slot for a single-axis control unit with various interfaces for connecting to the automation environment, encoder systems, safety technology, and other digital and analog signals. For multi-axis applications, inverters are supplied from the DC bus of HMV01 or HMU05 power supplies. Supply from the DC bus of an HCS converter is also possible for smaller axis packages and with the corresponding power reserves of the HCS.
    • The XMQ Quad-Axis Inverter of the ctrlX DRIVE product line generates a DC bus voltage from the power supply and converts it into an AC voltage with variable amplitude and frequency to operate four servo motors. The DC bus voltage generated in the unit can be used to supply additional single XMS inverters and dual XMD inverters. Through standard program execution, most control tasks can be performed, with additional optional function packages available for demanding applications. By using different order options, the hardware can be extended with ctrlX SAFETY for safety-related applications up to SIL3 and with ctrlX CORE integrated into the controller for nearly all automation applications.
