Omron RX inverter offers vector control and auto-tuning.

The RX forms part of an advanced series of inverter drives from Omron UK for motors from 0.4 to 132kW.  The RX offers a wide range of high performance features as standard.  It has vector control and auto-tuning functions.

Vector control mode is the default setting allowing higher starting torque than in V/F control.  The RX Series can achieve high starting torque in excess of 200% at 0.3 Hz, and full torque at 0 Hz in closed loop configuration

Auto-tune energy saving

The auto-tuning energy saving mode automatically minimizes the Inverter output power during constant speed operation. It has a large energy-saving effect when used with fans and pumps.

Omron understands that many sites contain variable speed drives from a number of suppliers so in designing the RX Series, in addition to performance, ease of use was prioritised to help reduce the number of overall steps required to get the motor running.  It applies to cabling, setting parameters, commissioning, and on-site maintenance.

Simple positioning

For position control applications where high-speed, high precision positioning is not required, RX handles simple position control applications without the use of servo systems.  This makes it cheaper and simpler to implement.

Position commands, speed commands and accel/decel times are set in parameters to form up to eight step positioning.  Alternatively there is a teaching function that allows positions to be stored in the memory by moving the machine from point to point.  Positioning commands can be selected from absolute values of interrupt feeding.

 PLC functionality

This PLC function allows users to develop stand-alone applications without any external controller, saving cost and panel space. Typical stand-alone applications: Automatic doors, lifting tables, platform lifts, multiple pumps, index tables and grinding machines.

The Programming tool is a function of the intuitive CX-Drive, which is also used for drive configuring and commissioning. An application can be created in either flow chart or text editor formats. Programs can be made with up to 1000 lines of code and with 5 tasks running in parallel.

Suppression of micro-surges

PWM control is used to suppress micro-surge voltages, which sometimes cause malfunctions in 400-V motors.  This control method suppresses the voltage between motor terminals to 1,250 V for a DC voltage of 625 V max. (equivalent to 440-VAC input) inside the Inverter. It ensures safe, reliable use even for general-purpose induction motors that are normally designed with a dielectric strength of 1,800 V.
