The ACS 550 is an adjustable frequency AC drive that achieves the ultimate in flexible motor control
performance. Offering three modes of motor control: V/Hz, Sensorless
Vector and Flux Vector, the ACS550 performs accurate' speed and torque control of any standard
squirrel cage motor.
With drives ranging from 0.75 to 550 HP (0.55 to 355 kW), the ACS550 series features an 'intuitively
obvious' multilingual, full graphic display panel that also provides an assistant to aid users in
start-up. The control panel can be mounted on the cover of the drive, or remotely, and can upload,
store, and download parameters.
The ACS550 comes equipped with an extensive library of preprogrammed application macros that, at
the touch of a button, allow rapid configuration of inputs, outputs, and parameters for specific
applications to maximize convenience and minimize start-up time.
The ACS550 can be used for the simplest to the most Demanding applications. Two integral option
slots can be configured with additional relay outputs as well as a host of different communication
bus adapters. An integral brake chopper is provided on all R1 and R2 frame size drives.
