Introducing the world's most competitive DC package
|
ABB has developed a user-friendly drive system package (DCS 400, DMI Motor) to meet the demands of
machine builders.
Our aim is to offer the best combination of reliable products at the most affordable price, backed by
on-time delivery, good partnership and fast response to inquiries. At the heart of the drive package is the DCS
400 - a new generation of DC drives specifically designed to meet the ever-changing needs of machine
builders.
"Total ease of use" was the foundation of this
drive's development. The result is a drive that is:
- as easy to handle as an analog drive yet incorporates
all of the features of a digital drive.
- easy to design into machine equipment, with just the
right amount of features.
- easy to install and set-up, even by those without
special drives experience.
Small Design
The DCS 400's compact design brings substantial space
savings to machine builders, allowing them to integrate more accessories
within the same space.
- Existing DC drives are easily replaced with the DCS
400.
- At only 103.4 in (270 mm) wide, and with all the
power cabling located at the base of the drive rather than the side,
two DCS 400 units can be installed inside the same 233.4 in (600 mm)
cabinet.
- The field supply, including the fuse and choke, are
integrated into the DCS 400, further contributing to its small size
and simplicity of design.
- No need for a field voltage adaptation transformer
to match the line supply voltage with that of the motor. The DCS 400
uses fewer components, leading to both smaller size and greater
reliability.

The total integrated package for machine
builders
|
Fieldbus Adapters
Multiple serial communication options allow integration with
higher level control systems. |
DC Converters
DCS 400 6-pulse converters offer accurate torque and speed
control in the low power range. Simplicity of operation is a
hallmark of the drive. |
DC Motors
ABB's family of DC motors offer a compact, modular design,
combined with low vibration and noise levels as well as high
output and energy efficiency. |
Speed Feedback
A variety of speed feedback devices can be used with PowerPack
and are standard features of the DCS 400. |
|
|
The user is guided through the commissioning procedure by following
simple steps that are outlined by the alpha-numeric control panel.
|
An alternative to the control panel is ABB's PC-based program,
DriveWindow Light, used for guided on-line commissioning, including:
- Parameter setting
- Reference display and feedback values
- Trending
- On-line help files
|
|
The easiest drive to install...
Reduced Wiring
By fully integrating the field supply, ABB's engineers
have been able to patent a design with three wires in and four wires
out, reducing wiring and requiring less installation time.
Fast and Easy Installation
ABB's DCS 400 cuts costs and installation time by
incorporating the following features:
-
A simple, step-by-step installation guide
-
Bottom plate cable entry, providing rapid and easy
access to power terminals
-
Easy to access I/O connection points via bottom
cover plate
-
The drive's ability to operate directly on any
worldwide voltage from 230 - 500 V, 50/60 Hz main, 115 - 230 V aux.
The fastest drive to commission...
Commissioning Wizard
The DCS 400 is the first digital drive which can be
commissioned without special knowledge of drives. More importantly, the
commissioning and start-up time is dramatically faster than that of
other DC drives.
-
The wizard uses either the drive's control panel
or ABB's commissioning tool, DriveWindow Light, which is
based on RS232 communications using a standard plug (see
illustration above).
-
Once the motor and process data have been entered
into the drive, the user is guided through commissioning using the
self-tuning functions for armature current, speed, flux and field
current.
-
No additional documentation or hardware is needed to
commission the DCS 400.
-
Application macros that require setting only a few
user-selectable parameters make the commissioning of specific
applications easier compared to the several hundred parameters that
must be set with other DC drives.
