Advanced Technology
The DCS 500 takes advantage of ABB's extensive experience in DC drives. High quality components together with the latest production technology guarantee reliable operation and customer satisfaction. Performance with flexibility for industrial or commercial applications.

Flexible Operation
The DCS500 can be controlled and monitored from either a PC-based Commissioning and Maintenance Tool or from a Control Panel which can be moved from one drive to another.
Drive applications can easily be changed with programmable function blocks. Application programs allow the drive to be configured without additional hardware. Changes can easily be made via the Control Panel.

Standard Features

• Autotuning for Armature and Field Current
• Two Adjustable Ramp Generators
• EMF, Tachometer, or Encoder Feedback
