Toshiba frequency inverter VF-MB1 series is slim.

The slim design VF-MB1 fi t to limited space and it can minimize the total machine spaces. 
Side-by-side installation.
- The VF-MB1 has been minimized width size in comparison with conventional model. In addition, side-by-side installation can save space in control cabinet (*1).
Slim design.
- For 240V-0.2kW to 0.75kW and 500V-0.4kW to 1.5kW models are fi tted to 45mm slim design. And also, 240V-1.5kW to 2.2kW and 500V-2.2kW to 4.0kW models can be fi tted to 60mm.
Flat Mounting installation.
- The VF-MB1 can be mounted by Flat Mounting and front block can be attached 90 degree by using additional mount bracket (*2). The space can be minimized with various installation (*1).

Flexible operation with Toshiba drive VF-MB1 series.

Flexible interface and improvement of a network communication can easily modify to arrange the wide range of application. 
Simple panel.
Setting dial, 4 keys, and 4 small LEDs with Green 7 segments LEDs can be easy to set parameters and operations.
Communication. 
Built-in (RJ45)
- RS485 (Modbus® RTU) Baud rate 38.4 kbps max.
- CANopen®: Baud rate 1.0Mbps max.
Optional (Add-on option)
- EtherNet/IPTM-Modbus® TCP
- PROFIBUS® DP
- DeviceNetTM
- EtherCAT® (Coming soon)
- CANopen®: Baud rate 1.0Mbps max.
Dual rating (CT/VT).
The VF-MB1 can be used for the constant torque and variable torque applications by dual rating operation. (5.5kW or larger type) For example, if variable torque application (fan and pump) require 15kW drives, it can be operated by 11kW rated of VF-MB1.

Toshiba vfd VF-MB1 is an advanced motor drive.

Induction motor and Permanent Magnetic (PM) motor drive.
The VF-MB1 controls not only 3-phase induction motors (Standard, High efficiency motor) but also Interior Permanent Magnetic Motor (IPM) and Surface Permanent Magnetic Motor (SPM) for high efficiency, high torque, energy saving, downsizing and lightening.

PM drive technology.

Power-ON sensor less initial magnetic pole detection.
- Initial magnetic pole position can be detected quickly without magnetic pole sensor.
- Motor has high starting torque
- It can minimize motor space, wiring and suitable with system requirements. (If the auto-tuning performed with motor rated parameter settings, high torque control operation can be achieved.) (*1)
Hit and stop function (Torque limit function).
- Extra limit switch can be eliminated for conveyor, machine tool or other mechanical application by using Hit and stop function with torque limit function which can be adjusted torque value of motor torque, and motor rotation can be stopped by torque detection.
Servo lock function.
- The VF-MB1 and PM motor combined, servo lock function can be used for automated system. It can control easily for stop and go applications by smooth speed reduction control for shock-less mechanical braking.
Sensor less step-out detection. 
- The VF-MB1 will keep detecting the pole position during PM motor is rotating. This function can prevent the step-out even if motor has impact and variable load torque.
Constant and Variable torque control.
- The VF-MB1 can drive PM motor with not only variable torque but also constant torque which is required large torque when motor start to rotate.

Functionality.

Internal software:
PID Control.
Temperature, Pressure, Flow and Motion control can be controlled with minimal over or less drive by using feedback analog signals from a sensor, detector and process control.
Torque limit function.
Output frequency can be decreased or increased according to the loading condition when the motor torque reaches the limit level such as paper and film rolling machine.
Light-load high-speed operation.
The light-load high-speed operation is used to improve the operating efficiency of the machine by increasing the rotational speed of the motor when it is operated under light load. This function is useful for constant-torque load applications which repeatedly drive light and heavy loads, such as lifts and transfer equipment.
Braking function.
Lifts, crane and similar equipment require the smooth operation for braking and release timing with motor torque. The motor can produce enough torque before the brake is released by this function.
Droop control.
When single load is operated by multiple drives and motors, each drive and motor are necessary to control same value of load to prevent overload. This function can share the single loads to multiple drives.

Other functions:
- V/F 5 points setting
- Forced fire-speed control
- Bumpless operation
- Tracing functions
- Integrating wattmeter
- Traverse
- Logic sequence function

Toshiba frequency inverter VF-MB1 series programming.

The VF-MB1 can be programmed by using computer based software “Logic sequence setting tool” and “PCM001Z”. Setup time and adjustment time for installation saving and appropriate setting for any conditions are achieved.
Sequence programming software (Logic sequence setting tool).
The VF-MB1 has logic sequence function and once VF-MB1 is connected with computer, it can be programmed by “Logic sequence setting tool”. “Logic sequence setting tool” can monitor the online input / output signals and monitoring status.

Easy for advanced control.

Simple setup by Easy key.
For quick setting, pressing the EASY key on the panel allows you to operate the inverter by eight basic parameters. When setting each of the functions, press the EASY key to move to the standard mode by one-touch operation. In this mode, you can access all parameters. The maximum of 32 target parameters are displayed and assigned to suit with your speci fi c setup requirements. You can also use the EASY key as a local/remote key to switch between panel and remote operation, and as a shortcut key to directly access any speci fi c setup or display screen.
Setting dial ”turn-and-push”.
The large setting dial at the center of the front panel allows you to set the parameters easily. Just turn the setting dial until you get the right parameter and push the setting dial to select. You can also use the setting dial to set the reference frequency.

Toshiba drive VF-MB1 series safety function.

The VF-MB1 supports the Safe Torque Off (STO) function according to following standards.
- EN/IEC 61508
- EN954-1
- ISO 13849-1
The STO function can be set by using parameter settings. When STO input is open, drive stops and start is prohibited until STO input is reconnected.

Environment. 

EMC noise filter inside.
Built-in noise filters are ideal for site such as commercial facilities and offices where attention must be paid to peripheral devices. Compared to filter not integrated models, space and wiring can be saved by incorporating filter in the panel. The VF-MB1 complies with the European EMC Directive.
Long lifetime.
10 years of operation design The main-circuit capacitor, cooling fan and control board capacitors are designed for 10 years lifetime design.
