Replacement of ACOMEL Drives

Valid for S300, S700

Most of the ACOMEL drives used in high frequency applications can be replaced with S300/S700 servo amplifiers with special firmware.

Dual Use

These devices are export controlled ( Dual Use, AL-3A225 ) and require an export approval. The functionality to replace Acomel HF inverters is possible with special firmware only. Contact our customer service.

S300 / S700 Disadvantages

• No DC – DC transformer inside.
  A correct combination Power supply voltage / Motor is necessary.
• More Power losses in the motor for “high” speed (f > 2.000Hz).
  Less power losses in the drive.

S300 / S700 Advantages

• Support for induction and synchronous motors. ACOMEL only supports induction machines.
• With and without a feedback.
• Support of more than 20 feedbacks.
• Support for most common fieldbus systems.
• Ease of use: Example - U/f control with two parameters.
• Drive runs smoother
• Speed below 5000 rpm is possible (advantage for testing)
• Brake ramp (40000 to 0 rpm) reduced from 7s to <2s
• Unique amplifier types for servo axes and HF axes
• Communication via Multidrive (one interface for all amplifiers)

Current Status

• S300/S700 with 8 kHz PWM  (16kHz with derating)
  • Up to 1.000 Hz (2 pole motor with 60.000rpm) with low power losses in the motor.
  • Up to 2.000 Hz in process
