  • Streamlined setup powered by application-specific firmware that pre-programs settings for quick and easy startups and reliable protection for any project
  • Advanced features: Multi-VFD control up to 8 VFDs, pre-PID control (pipe fill), 2nd PID control, dual demand and pipe leak protection
  • Built-in DC choke for applications starting at 50 hp (@ 230V) and 60 hp (@ 460V / 575V) for harmonics mitigation eliminates the need for a line reactor
  • UL-listed phase conversion versatility allows for single-phase or three-phase input

Automation-Ready with Industrial Communication Protocols & Customizable Functions

  • Built-in Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for advanced industrial applications
  • Seamless integration into SCADA and automation systems using Modbus RTU or ASCII and BACnet MS/TP communications
  • Optional communication cards: Ethernet IP and Modbus TCP/IP communication or for compatibility with FE Connect using Bluetooth® connectivity

Seamless Integration into A Control Panel

  • UL Type 4X removable and remote mountable display using a standard CAT-5 cable
  • Compact form-factor with industry-leading power density (HP/in3) aids in reducing the overall panel size
  • Converts from a NEMA 1 VFD to an Open Type VFD which increases the ambient operating temperature from 113 °F to 122 °F, saving on panel cooling costs
