Feature Highlights
Compact bookcase design, only 70 mm wide, saves space in the control cabinet
Integrated two-line LCD keypad with Chinese menu support, allowing for one-click parameter copying/downloading
Built-in Class C3 EMI The filter meets IEC 61800-3 industrial environment requirements and can pass CE certification without external filtering. The standard RS485 communication port supports Modbus RTU and can be upgraded to mainstream busses such as Profibus-DP, DeviceNet, CANopen, and EtherNet/IP via expansion modules. Intelligent fan control: Automatically starts and stops based on radiator temperature, reducing noise and extending fan life. Motor auto-tuning: Available in both static and rotating modes, it automatically matches motor parameters to improve low-speed torque and operating efficiency. The Safe Torque Off (STO) input terminal complies with ISO 13849-1 PL d / SIL2, enabling safe shutdown without a contactor.
Typical Applications
Light industrial equipment such as conveyors, packaging machines, food filling machines, textile printing and dyeing, and woodworking machinery. Energy-saving retrofits for fans and water pumps, replacing traditional valve flow control. Centralized monitoring of multi-machine production lines such as ceramic and plastic extruders via RS485.
Optional Accessories
