1.4 Product Overview

An adjustable frequency drive is an electronic motor
controller that converts AC line power input into a variable
AC waveform output. The frequency and voltage of the
output are regulated to control the motor speed or torque.
The adjustable frequency drive can vary the speed of the
motor in response to system feedback, such as position
sensors on a conveyor belt. The adjustable frequency drive
can also regulate the motor by responding to remote
commands from external controllers.
In addition, the adjustable frequency drive monitors the
system and motor status, issues warnings or alarms for
fault conditions, starts and stops the motor, optimizes
energy efficiency, and offers many more control,
monitoring, and efficiency functions. Operation and
monitoring functions are available as status indications to
an outside control system or serial communication
network.
