Sprint Electric PL40 40kW 99A 3PH 2Q Drive

At a glance: PL40 Digital DC motor control

Take control of the most demanding motor control applications. With a Sprint Electric PL40 Digital 3 phase DC Drive 2 Quadrant, you can use the PL40 to control DC motors up to 99A.

A 4 button keypad and large alpha-numeric display make it easier to quickly navigate through an extensive range of software functions.

The Sprint PL40 DC Drive is fully configurable by the user and comes equipped, as standard, with a comprehensive suite of application blocks.

Centre winding macros, spindle orientation and a fully controllable field allow you to control DC motors in a wide range of industrial applications. The PL40 also includes PL Pilot, a windows based, configuration and monitoring software package.

The extensive range of motor protection features improves your productivity by reducing your downtime. And the unique configuration checker quickly detects any conflicts in your own user-generated configurations.

To make it easier for you to integrate the PL40 into your control system, the drives are fully isolated and have a small footprint. The PL40 has a number of fieldbus communications options, including: Profibus, DeviceNet, CC-Link, EtherNet/IP, Modbus and CANopen.

All PL models are compatible with drive.web. The drive.web distributed control technology uses Ethernet and powerful graphical tools to provide robust, Programmable Peer Control (PPC) for drives and systems. The drive.web technology is infinitely scalable and cost effective for systems of any size or complexity. For typical motor control systems, drive.web beats using any PLC on cost, performance and ease of use.
