NORD DRIVESYSTEMS расширил функциональную безопасность для новой серии частотных преобразователей NORDAC ON

Functional safety protects people, machines, and the environment in the event of technical malfunctions, minimizing risks and ensuring systems react in a controlled, safe manner. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS just extended functional safety features for their latest product family of decentralized variable frequency drives, NORDAC ON, furthering their applicability in automation systems. These drives include an on-board PLC for drive-related functions. Moreover, they can process data from connected sensors and actuators, initiate control sequences, and communicate drive and application data to the control center, networked components, or to cloud storage. NORDAC ON variable frequency drives are available for a power range of 0.5 to 5.0 hp. Fail-Safe Control NORDAC ON variable frequency drives combined with proven NORD gear motors create a safe drive system configured for your application. Additionally, the safe motion functions Safe Limited Space (SLS), Safe Maximum Speed (SMS), and Safe Speed Monitor (SSM) are available for fail-safe control of rotary movement. VFDs now not only feature safe standstill functions but also enable safe control of drive speeds for demanding safety applications. The safe digital inputs and outputs of the NORDAC ON can additionally end up used to incorporate fail-safe peripheral components or functions. That can enable the connection of options such as emergency stop buttons, safety door switches, and photoelectric sensors. Two safe one-channel digital inputs can combine into one safe two-channel digital input. Additionally, two safe outputs can combine into one safe two-channel output. In automated production, drive electronics with integrated safety functions enable safe control and monitoring of all motion sequences, making them increasingly important in drive systems. NORD integrates safety functions directly into the variable frequency drive, often eliminating the need for an additional encoder. Their solutions can easily incorporate into fail-safe applications within an existing Industrial Ethernet network via PROFIsafe or FSoE, creating a future-proof solution while reducing installation effort and cabling.
