Where are multidrives used
Generally speaking, multidrives can used wherever
several drives form part single process.
The shafts the individual drive motors can more
or less tightly coupled. There are several
possibilities the supply side starting from simple
diode supply unit highly sophisticated active
IGBT supply units.Multidrives
The multidrive principle based standard bus
arrangement enabling single pow entry and com on
braking resources for several drives.
■ The common supply the multidrive enables the
implementation overall safety and control functions.
The multidrive construction simplifies the total
installation and provides many advantages such as:
■ savings cabling, installation and maintenance costs
■ space savings
■ reduced com ponent count and increased reliability
■ reduced line currents and simpler braking arrange
ments
■ energy circulation over the common busbar, which
can used for motor-to-motor braking without the
need for braking chopper regenerative supply unit.2009 Product series. The
