Bonfiglioli Active Industrial

Advanced technologies for all industrial fields. by Bonfiglioli frequency inverter Active series.

Bonfiglioli Active frequency inverters are powerful and innovative units specifically designed to control electric motors in sophisticated automation systems. Bonfiglioli Active range includes both single and three phase units for mains voltages of 230 V or 400 V, ranging from 0.55 kW to 132 kW. Power ratings within Active range have been chosen to ensure a perfect match with Bonfiglioli motor ratings. The use of Active drives together with Bonfiglioli electric motors exploits at best technical synergy between these two product series. Hardware flexibility is a fundamental feature of the Active series, and is achieved by means of a generous selection of expansion and communication modules that can be used to “configure” inverters to suit specific application requirements.
Active 401/201 is a “System Drive”. Thanks to integrated PLC functions and wide connectivity with mostly used bus systems, Active 401/201 integrates seamlessly with a vast range of automation solutions.

Other main features of Active series:
- extremely compact dimensions
- accurate motor control and silent running, thanks to an 8 kHz switching frequency without derating
- easy mounting and connections, with a large number of panel mounting kits and easy disconnectable plug-in terminals
- exceptional software configurability through a streamlined, intuitive user interface
- versatile control, with very few configuration parameters needed to drive synchronous and asynchronous, feedback and sensorless, braked and brakeless motors
- choice of motor control technologies, including robust scalar control, vectorial sensorless control
and accurate field-oriented feedback control:Active frequency converters provide an adequate level of accuracy and dynamics to satisfy the needs of a wide range of applications
- speed and position synchronisation in “multidrive” automation systems
- extensive choice of accessories, all guaranteed and tested with Active drives, including mains side inductors, EMC filters and braking resistors. Active frequency inverters provide the perfect control solution for any application, from the simplest machine automation systems to the most complex control architectures granting perfectly repeatable high-tech results.

Inverter selection criteria.

Choosing the product size with the ACT 401/201 series is even simpler: one model for each motor power size. In addition, the new sizes correspond perfectly to the motor sizes in the BONFIGLIOLI range.

Optional components.

Thanks to the modularity of their hardware components, ACTIVE frequency inverters are easily integrated in automation applications. Optional on-board modules are automatically recognised by the inverter when present (plug and play) right from the initialisation phase, and the internal control functions of the unit are automatically adapted accordingly. 

Control unit / KP500.

The KP500 control unit is equipped with a Parameters Copy function that allows the< user to upload parametric values from the inverter to a non-volatile memory installed in the KP500 device, allowing the same values to be subsequently downloaded to another inverter. The control unit makes it possible to set up the inverter for specific applications and allows the display of the service values of physical and electrical parameters. The inverter can also be controlled from the control unit for start/stop and frequency reference increase/decrease commands. Since the control unit is not essential for inverter operation it can be connected when the user considers it useful or necessary.
