Rockwell Automation's New Smart PowerFlex 6000 Medium Voltage Drive

     Rockwell Automation has upgraded the functions of the PowerFlex 6000 series medium voltage inverter and launched a new intelligent PowerFlex 6000T medium voltage inverter. PowerFlex6000T adopts advanced TotalFORCE control technology and has better performance. It can combine advanced technologies such as 5G, big data analysis and AI to realize remote monitoring, predictive maintenance and other functions, bringing SEEE (safety, energy saving, environmental protection, high efficiency) value, and help the country achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.

     The R-frame PowerFlex 6000T medium-voltage inverter with an output voltage of 10kV is smaller in size, and some cabinets can be equipped with built-in power frequency bypass, which is easier to install and can greatly shorten the debugging time; PowerFlex 6000T has a synchronous switching function, one The inverter can start multiple motors in sequence, saving energy and reducing investment; in addition, PowerFlex 6000T also has a load distribution function to support the occasions where multiple inverters and motors drive the same load; the inverter provides three control modes: flux vector control , sensorless vector control and voltage-frequency ratio control.

     PowerFlex 6000T drives feature advanced TotalFORCE technology for flexible high-performance control, real-time intelligent operation, and faster commissioning. The inverter can closely follow the speed or torque command; predictive maintenance is another advantage of TotalFORCE technology, the inverter continuously monitors and tracks the operating data of the electrical components inside the inverter, and feeds the diagnostic information to the control system in real time. In this way, failures of electrical components can be predicted, and measures can be taken in advance to reduce unplanned downtime; the adaptive control function of the inverter can help isolate potentially harmful load fluctuations and automatically compensate for load changes to keep the system running normally; With the help of the load detection technology, for the load fluctuation, the frequency converter's own sensor is used to observe it, and adaptive adjustment is made to make the load run stably.

     PowerFlex 6000T medium voltage inverter can be seamlessly integrated with Rockwell automation control system, and supports the unified and friendly software environment Studio 5000. A unified software platform makes it easier and faster to design, integrate and maintain automation systems; in addition, this series of drives is equipped with an intuitive, easy-to-use 10-inch color touch screen. The inverter supports a variety of communication protocols, such as mainstream communication protocols such as EtherNet I/P and Profibus DP.
