Key Features

  • Compact Design: The FR-E800 Drive, with its compact footprint, is ideal for controlling 3-phase motors up to 10HP at 200V, 400V and 600V. Its design helps to save space without compromising on performance.
  • Dual Overload Rating: Achieve peak performance even in smaller frame sizes with light duty (LD) and normal duty (ND) overload current ratings, paving the way for a wider range of applications.
  • Built-In PLC Function: This feature allows users to set various operation patterns including inverter movements at signal inputs, signal outputs at particular inverter statuses, and monitor outputs, offering a high level of customisation.
  • Wide Range of Ethernet Protocols: The FR-E800 Drive supports a variety of open networks without the need for additional option cards, ensuring compatibility with existing systems and simplifying integration.
  • Control Over Various Motors: The FR-E800 Drive can auto-tune to both IE3/IE4 Induction Motors (IM) and Permanent Magnet (PM) motors via simple parameter setup, allowing for increased performance, minimised noise levels, and reduced commissioning time.
  • Extended Environmental Rating and Corrosion Alert System: With the ability to operate in ambient temperatures from -20°C to 60°C (-5 to 140°F), and a built-in alert system for corrosion detection, the FR-E800 Drive is designed to withstand harsh environments and provide advanced warnings of potential damage.

Applications

The FR-E800 Drive is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications. Its anti-sway technology and vibration suppression control make it particularly suitable for use in material handling systems, like overhead cranes.

Other applications include conveyor systems, general automation and machine operations. Its integration with various control methods allows for wider applications in many systems.

Frequently asked questions

The AI technology in the FR-E800 series predicts potential issues before they occur, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

Yes, the FR-E800 series has built-in network compatibility and can seamlessly integrate with CC-Link IE TSN, a next-generation open network.

The FR-E800 Drive offers built-in anti-sway technology, vibration suppression control, fast torque build-up, and load-based speed control. These features, as evidenced in a case study with Material Handling Systems (MHS), resulted in a safer and more efficient operation of overhead cranes. The anti-sway technology, in particular, suppresses the swinging of an object at the time of stopping without the operator’s input or adjustment, thereby enhancing safety and productivity
