INVERTER AND MOTION CONTROL

BOSCH REXROTH

With Rexroth's open automation architecture and its innovative engineering solutions, your production system will be ready for Industry 4.0. From PLCs to CNCs, up to Motion Control systems from integrated robotics, our control systems, open and scalable at hardware and software level, meet any performance requirement and offer maximum flexibility. Our electric drive systems integrate control units, creating a complete system for the entire power range from 100 W up to 4 MW. These systems will convince you with intelligent solutions: for example, scalable Motion logic, certified safety technologies and exclusive Multi-Ethernet communication. All this, either at a centralized level, within the control panel, or without a control panel, directly on board the machine.

INVERTER

New generation inverters: compact, scalable, efficient

The Rexroth EFC 3610 and EFC 5610 inverters represent the latest generation of intelligent and efficient frequency converters, capable of providing energy "on demand" and therefore achieving significant energy savings.
Their scalability allows them to be integrated into a wide range of applications with simple commissioning.

Advantages of Bosch Rexroth inverters

  • Compact and complete: space saving installation and wiring for simple installation and integration
  • Simply practical: removable operating unit with accumulator function, optional LCD display with plain text, simple parameterization via autotuning, copy function or USB port – for quick and reliable series commissioning
  • Maximum connectivity: modular configuration and extension possible with I/O and Sercos modules / Multi-Ethernet, PROFIBUS and CANopen
  • Flexibility: also with application-specific firmware (ASF)

Multi-Ethernet Option Card

Using an option module, all EFC 3610 and EFC 5610 inverters can be quickly extended to a Mulit-Ethernet interface (with Sercos, PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet / IP, Modubus / TCP) or fieldbus interface (PROFIBUS, CANopen) and can be integrated into all common automation solutions.

Safety On Board

Safe Torque Off
For safety-relevant applications, we offer the EFC 5610 with STO option up to Cat. 4 / PL e, SIL3 safety levels.
