Powerful DC Drives for Heavy Industry Applications - Digital DC Drives from Sprint Electric Now up to 1850 Amps


Arundel, England, February 2009. Sprint Electric has increased its range of digital DC drives up to 1850 Amps (800 KW/1080 HP). Available in two quadrant and four quadrant options, the digital DC drives are ideal to control DC motors used in heavy industry applications such as mining, metal working or the cement industry.

The new high voltage models are available for supplies up to 690 VAC to enable control of DC motors up to 750 VDC. Center winding macros, spindle orientation and a fully controllable field allow the user to control DC motors in heavy industry applications.

The PLX is fully configurable by the user and comes equipped, as standard, with a comprehensive suite of application blocks. A configuration checker quickly detects any conflicts in the configurations generated by the user. And the extensive range of motor protection features improve productivity by reducing downtime.

A four button keypad and large alpha-numeric display make it easy to quickly navigate through an extensive range of software functions. The PLX has a number of fieldbus communications options, including: Profibus, DeviceNet, CC-Link, EtherNet/IP, Modbus and CANopen. The PLX also includes PL Pilot, a windows based, configuration and monitoring software package. All PLX models are compatible with drive.web. The drive.web distributed control technology uses Ethernet and powerful graphical tools to provide robust, Programmable Peer Control (PPC) for drives and systems. For typical motor control systems, the drive.web technology is infinitely scalable, cost effective and easy to use.

Sprint Electric can now offer a full range of PLX digital DC drives from 12 Amps up to 1850 Amps, with all models available from stock. The PLX is part of an integrated range of analogue and digital DC drives covering both single phase and three phase, regenerative and non- regenerative applications. Whether in original equipment or in retrofits, DC drives from Sprint Electric are being used in many different applications including metal processing, the pulp and paper industry, rubber and plastic processing, lifting equipment, food processing, leisure industries and many more.
