Bi-directional gearmotors with integrated switch and safety

First Quarter 2005 Shaft power components

Movi-switch 2S gearmotors (with 4-pole motors up to 3 kW, for example) are a distributed alternative to conventional drives with switching and protection functions in the central switch cabinet.

Using special conventional switching elements for increased ambient temperature, the Movi-switch 2S generation allows the performing and monitoring of the rotation reversals. The optional integrated AS-i binary slave simplifies assembly and installation, since AS-i slaves are no longer needed. The AS-i connection is compatible with the corresponding connection of Movimot gearmotors with integrated frequency inverter permitting the use of identical AS-i installation technology for mixed decentralised installations.

The ability to mount the Movi-Switch 2S modules separately, means that even drives or motors smaller than 370 W (that are difficult to access) can now benefit from the decentralised advantages.

* Available for two directions of rotation.

* Switch contacts for switching off and changing the direction of rotation.

* Two M12 plug connectors for binary control: for one or two directions of rotation.

* Integrated AS-i binary slave as an option.

* The AS-i design offers additional connection options for two external sensors.

* Movi-Switch 2S module can be mounted separately next to the motor.

* Motor connection 3 x 380-500 V, 50/60 Hz

* Maximum motor current 7 A.

* Identical control for regular motor or brake motor.

* Integrated brake rectifier with connection to motor voltage.

* Integrated thermal motor protection.
