SEW-Eurodrive Movitrac LTE version B IP66 frequency inverter

The Movitrac LTE version B frequency inverter range is now available in an IP66 version. Previously available in both IP20 and IP55 housings, the IP66 model provides added dust and water protection for harsh environments.

The range is available in single phase (up to 2.2 kW) and three phase (up to 7.5 kW) and can be supplied in three compact frame sizes with an integrated DIN-rail snap-in mounting capability that simplifies installation. The IP66 model is completely waterproof and is well suited to applications such as conveyors and pumps installed in the food and beverage industry.

The Movitrac LTE version B series also offers users four means of access for drive configuration, monitoring and control, with an in-built keypad, an onboard RS485 port for PC access, an infrared optical link for wireless connectivity to pocket PC or smartphone, and optional portable programming stick for multidrive parameter transfer.

The Movitrac LTE version B is equipped with an energy optimiser function. This function enables the drive to automatically match the applied motor voltage (hence torque) with the load conditions so that the drive uses only what it needs. This provides an advantage over conventional variable torque control strategies in that higher starting torques can be achieved.

The Movitrac LTE version B supports connection to industrial fieldbus-based communications systems via the SEW-Eurodrive UFx gateway, enabling users to implement protocols including Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, ProfiNet, ModbusIP and EtherCat.
