Vacon offers a wide range of AC Drives that are compatible with numerous fieldbus protocols: VACON 20, VACON 100 and the NX Series.

VACON@reg; 20 is compact with a wide power range and built-in, highly flexible PLC functionality, making it one of the most adaptable, cost efficient AC drives for packaging and processing applications. Available in all common voltages (110-600V) and a power range up to 18.5kW/25 HP, the VACON 20 offers something for OEMs worldwide. With optional modules, the VACON 20 can be connected to almost any communication system including CANOpen, Fieldbus, DeviceNet and Profibus DP. The VACON 20 is used in packaging and processing, conveyors, pumps and fans, among other applications.

VACON@reg; 100 is easily integrated with existing automation systems using built-in Modbus RTU (RS485) or Modbus TCP (Ethernet). Integration over Profinet IO or Ethernet IP systems is made possible through software options. Click-in fieldbus options facilitate integration to traditional systems using Profibus DP, DeviceNet, CANOpen & LONWorks. Fieldbus technology ensures increased control and monitoring of the process equipment with reduced cabling. (Standard: Modbus RTU, BACNet MSTP, Metasys N2
Option Cards: Profibus DP, DeviceNet, LONWorks, CANOpen.)

The VACON NX family offers a high-performance control platform for all demanding drive applications. Removable terminals, snap-in card installation, automatic card identification and instructions on the drive help making quick connections. If necessary, the inputs, outputs and fieldbus boards can be added in the field. The Vacon NX Family is one of the most flexible frequency converter series on the market. An external +24 V supply option enables communication with the control unit even if the mains supply is switched off (e.g. fieldbus communication and parameter settings). The NX series includes the VACON NXP, NXS, NXC and NXL.
