Omron Electronics has developed the MX2 inverter drive to offer a comprehensive and cost-effective automation solution for machine applications and address machine control safety requirements in line with ISO 13849-1 Cat 3.  MX2 drives incorporate two safety inputs and an external device monitoring (EDM) output.

The MX2 inverter drive is available in 240 V single-phase from 0.2 to 2.2kW, in 240V three-phase from 0.2 to 15kW and 415V three-phase from 0.4 to 15kW.  Features of the MX2 inverter drive include:

-200 per cent starting torque, torque control in open loop, induction motor and permanent magnet motor control, one-parameter auto-tuning, drive sequence programming and built-in position control functionality.

-on board logic programming with up to 1,000 lines of code

– configurable to follow a master speed signal with no additional hardware: simple positioning tasks without the need for an external position controller.

-up to eight positions plus home can be programmed by the user and the drive can be switched between speed and position control as required.

-Modbus RS485 is built-in and option cards networks: DeviceNet, Profibus and EtherCat.

-a separate 24V DC input is standard, which can be used to keep the drive operational in the event of a mains input failure.

Omron inverters come with a three year warranty as standard.  Go here to download a brochure
