Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

Controller

The rugged controller monitors and controls the system’s M-FORCE SD500 drives providing operation and fault reporting. It provides full-time monitoring of motor drive temperature, battery health status, system faults, run time, and a host of other features.

Features

  • CAN-Bus Communication
  • Wireless RF capability
  • Analog/digital inputs from gas pedal, joystick, temperature transducers and other switching devices
  • Inputs from PLC and other controllers
  • Multi-language display

Display

The display in an MSHA-approved housing provides real-time performance monitoring of the control system through the controller. External controls allow for system programming and re-configuration, data reporting, and troubleshooting within a permissible area.

Custom Engineered Systems

Magnetek can provide custom-designed engineered power solutions for applications such as transportation, mining, marine or locomotive applications using our M-FORCE SD500 Variable Frequency Drives. Magnetek can also provide custom monitoring, data collection and display systems integrated with any Magnetek M-FORCE® severe duty drive to provide the ultimate in assured performance and control. Our flexible building block approach allows us to configure a custom display and controller to your exact requirements. The control interface provides real-time diagnostics for preventative maintenance and troubleshooting, reducing down-time and repairs.

Improved Performance

Adjustable operating speeds, torque limits, and controlled stopping allow for smooth operation and torque control from stall to 400 Hz.

Increased Energy Efficiency

A custom engineered system can improve the power factor and reduce in-rush currents to minimize energy consumption.

Greater Reliability

Controlled start-up torque decreases the wear and tear on the motor and connected load, which reduces mechanical breakdown to extend motor life.
