The Movitrac LTE B frequency inverter is an easy-to-use inverter for simple materials handling, pump and fan applications.

Designed and developed for controlling the speed of asynchronous motors, the frequency inverter is available in three sizes, covering a power range of 0.37 to 11 kW. Available in both IP20 and IP55 housings, it is claimed to be able to operate reliably even when exposed to dust or water.

The series offers users four means of access for drive configuration, monitoring and control. It is equipped with an in-built keypad, an onboard RS485 port for PC access, an infrared optical link for wireless connectivity to pocket PC or smart phone and optional portable programming stick for multi-drive parameter transfer.

The portable programming stick is suitable for OEMs that need to program large quantities of drives. Users can configure a single drive and then transfer the parameters onto any number of other drives. . This, coupled with the drive’s simple installation and 40 configurable parameters, is claimed to enable it to be up and running in minutes.

The frequency inverter supports connection to industrial fieldbus-based communications systems via the company's UFx gateway, which can be connected to the inverter’s integrated RJ45 connector. This enables users to cost-effectively implement communications protocols, including Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet IP, ProfiNet, ModbusIP and EtherCat. The drive’s multi-fieldbus capability allows users to easily connect it with supervisory PLCs and SCADA system control architectures.
