With over thirty years experience in the design, development and implementation of AC variable speed drives, Mitsubishi Electric is one of the world’s leading suppliers.  With their new generation FR-A800 high performance drives Mitsubishi Electric UK offers enhanced safety and functionality; faster response times; improved energy saving,  and better usability.

The FR-A800 Series is fully backwards compatible with the FR-A700 Series and parameters can be easily copied from one to the other. Another feature is that FR-A800 input/output signals can be delayed in order to match the former machine response times.

The touch Digital Dial operation panel allows direct access to all important parameters.  Users can select the LU operater panel with an LCD screen offering enhanced display functionality and a clock function, or a more economical DU operation panel with a 5-digit, 12-segment display.

The FR-A800 series also allows the connection of a Mitsubishi Electric graphical operation terminal (GOT). Communication parameters for the HMI connection are automatically set as a batch. The GOT provides operators with an easy-to-follow and intuitively high resolution display and facilitates easy operation via a touch panel.

Improved system safety

The FR-A800 series has a two channel emergency stop for safe shutdown. This ensures safe operation in compliance with the European Machinery Directive without installation of another contactor. The FR-A800 thus conforms to the ENISO13849-1/PLd cat. 3, EN 61508 and EN 61800-5-2 SIL2 standards.

Some of the outstanding features are the integrated USB port for programming and parameter copying, an-easy to-read control panel, optimum power usage and energy saving functions, improved system safety, three expansion slots for a range of option and supported network cards.

Easy access and set-up

To reduce the wiring check time, a single cover is removed for accessing the wiring area. The administration of different drives is simple because serial numbers of drives can be retrieved via communication. Users can comfortably setup the drives with the Setup-Software FR Configurator2.

Long life components

The cooling fans and the built-in capacitors have an estimated lifespan of 10 years. By using the ON/OFF control function, the service life of the fans can be even further
extended.
