28-02-2020 | RS Components | Power

The Omron Q2 family provides a compact AC drive that combines simple operation with high-efficiency control for virtually any motor type. The result is a robust product created for maintenance-free long-term operation.

Hardware cost is reduced with built-in C1/C2/C3 class EMC filter and embedded functional safety (STO SIL3/PLe). Th flexible motor control employs IM, PM & SynRM motors. Users can customise the drive to their application by intuitive drag and drop programming. Engineering and commissioning time can be saved thanks to software tools, mobile app and wizards. The drive's proven robustness reduces machine downtime due to higher protection from dust and humidity.

Coated PCB boards come as standard to protect the electronics from dust and humidity. The drives are designed for ten years without maintenance and can work at up to 50 degrees without derating.
