ABB Baldor FlexDrive Servo Drives

Electrical Specifications

Input Voltage: Various specifications are available, such as 115VAC, 230VAC, 460/400VAC, etc. Different models are applicable to different voltage ranges with corresponding minimum and maximum voltage limits.

Input Frequency: Support 50/60Hz ±5% frequency.

Output parameters: output bus voltage, phase current, peak phase current, output power, output frequency, etc. vary by model. For example, some models have an output frequency range of 0 - 500Hz and efficiency greater than 95%.

Logic Power: For certain models (FDxAxxxx - xxx3), an external 20 - 30VDC logic power supply is required, and the input current and inrush current varies by model.

Control Specifications

Control Type: IGBT PWM sine wave control for precise motor control.

Feedback type: Supports resolver feedback (resolution is automatically set according to the speed, up to 14 bits) and encoder feedback (signal type RS422, maximum input frequency 125kHz).

Analogue Inputs: Analogue speed command and analogue torque command inputs from 0 - 10VDC or ±10VDC with 12 bit command signal resolution and 500ms update rate.

Pulse Inputs: Pulse/direction input signals from 12 - 29VDC, optically isolated, maximum input frequency 125kHz, cycle time 1ms.

Communication Specifications

Serial Interface: Supports RS232C (non-isolated, 9600 Baud) and RS485 (non-isolated, 9600 Baud) communication standards.

CAN bus (optional): Some models support CAN bus, following CAN_OPEN and DS301 protocols, with a default baud rate of 125kbit/second, which can be changed by AS1 switch setting or serial command.

Physical Specifications

Size and Weight: The size and weight of the drives vary from model to model, e.g., models A, B, and C are different from models E, G, and H. Models with the CAN option may have a slightly increased width.

Protection: IP20 rated to provide a degree of protection against dust and foreign objects.

Environmental Adaptability: Capable of operating over a range of altitudes, temperatures, and humidity. No derating is required up to 3300 feet (1000 metres) above sea level, and a percentage of derating is required above that; operating temperature range is 0 - 40°C, with derating required above 40°C, and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C; storage temperature range is -25 - +70°C, and the humidity range is 10% - 90% non-condensing.

Other specifications

Regenerative Functions: Drives at different voltages have different parameters for regenerative functions such as switching threshold, rated/peak power, maximum regenerative switching current and maximum load inductance.

Installation Requirements: Pay attention to the connection method and tightening torque of each component when installing, for example, the tightening torque of the X1 connector is 0.5 lb - in (0.6Nm), and make sure to use the correct cables and connectors, and follow the relevant EMC installation requirements.

Product Notice Intended use:

These drives are intended for use in stationary ground based applications in

industrial power installations according to the standards EN60204 and VDE0160.

They are designed for machine applications that require variable speed controlled

three phase brushless AC motors.
