Enhanced Safety Control
The DrivePanel +Safe Series incorporates Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality within the inverter drive. This allows the motor torque to be safely removed without fully disconnecting power to the drive, enabling faster and safer system shutdown.
An integrated Emergency Stop circuit allows operators to immediately stop the machine in emergency situations, while the remote safety cut-out input enables safety signals from external systems such as:
- Guard switches
- Safety relays
- Safety PLCs
- Interlock systems
This ensures the motor control system can integrate easily with wider machine safety architectures.
Typical Applications
DrivePanel +Safe systems are well suited for a wide range of industrial equipment, including:
- Industrial machinery
- Pump control systems
- Ventilation and fan systems
- Conveyor drives
- Material handling equipment
- Packaging machinery
- General process control
Any application where motor control must operate alongside machine safety systems.
Designed for Safety and Reliability
Each DrivePanel Core unit is engineered using proven industrial components and practical control design principles. The panels are configured to provide smooth motor starting, adjustable speed control, and reliable long-term operation in demanding environments.
Using inverter drive control can significantly reduce mechanical stress on equipment, improve process control, and reduce energy consumption compared with traditional fixed-speed motor systems.
Standard Functions
DrivePanel Core panels typically include:
- Variable speed drive with parameter configuration
- Motor overload and protection functions
- Emergency stop circuit
- Remote Safety Input terminals
- Start / Stop control
- Remote start/stop terminals
- Speed adjustment
- Status indication (Run / Healthy)
- Incoming supply protection
