The Yaskawa A1000 inverter drive features stunning performance, superb flexibility and astonishing reliability. In 2007 Yaskawa, with nearly one hundred years in the supply and manufacture of mechatronic products, produced their ten millionth inverter. The A1000 drive, as a result of extensive research and development, is 55.4% smaller than the F7 and is much more efficient and incredibly durable.

The Yaskawa A1000 Inverter Drive In Detail

Easy Start-Up: From the moment you take delivery of you A1000 you will realise that you have one of the easiest drives to set up available. The A1000 selects the most applicable parameters required for major applications automatically. In moments you will have set up the drive to achieve optimal performance. Yaskawa have included the facility for the drive to all parameter settings data with terminal block and a parameter copy function. If you would prefer things even simpler then you will be pleased to hear that there is also available a USB Copy Unit. Further features of the A1000 include a screwless removable control terminal, an application SW library and application parameter presets.

Drive Wizard Plus: Yaskawa' s engineering tool lets you manage the all your drives' settings on a PC, making setup and maintenance as easy as possible. You can edit parameters and create your own operation sequences, access all monitors and even monitor the performance of the drive ( with the oscilloscope function) .

Reliability: As mentioned earlier Yaskawa mechatronic products are renowned for their reliability however the A1000 inverter drive has beed specifically designed to be a compact drive capable of maintenance-free operation. The life expectancy of the cooling fan, capacitors, relays, and IGBTs is up to ten years. The A1000 is equipped with performance life monitors which monitor part wear and
maintenance periods informing the user ( when required) to prevent possible problems.

Efficiency & Environmental: With the highly efficient A1000' s energy-saving control enables induction motor operation. Using the A1000 energy-saving control capabilities with synchronous motors it is possible to obtain unparalleled energy savings. The drive features Yaskawa' s Swing PWM function which dramatically reduces audible high pitch motor noise leading to an environment which is more peaceful.

Safety: With the A1000, momentary power loss as the drive has sensorless control with all control modes for both induction and synchronous motors. In compliance with EN ISO 13849-1. PLC, IEC/ EN61508 SIL2 Safe Torque Off ( STO) is provided.
More A1000 Features

The A1000 drive is a general purpose inverter which is capable of driving both synchronous and induction motors. It features both open and closed loop vector control and it achieves high performance through the auto-tuning feature. The Interior Permanent Magnet ( IPM) allows the drive to perform position control without motor feedback. 200% rated torque at 0 rpm. The A1000 is perfect for a diverse field of applications due to the fact that it is extremely compact, making Side-by-Side installation possible, and it is suitable for both normal or heavy duty operation.
