DC1 Compact Drives

The DC1 is the new compact variable frequency drive by Eaton. Its simple mounting and installation requirements, together with its basic parameter configuration, make this drive ideal for fans, pumps, and conveyor systems. A straightforward commissioning process makes the DC1 ideal for mass production applications in the field of machine building.

In addition, a variety of mains voltages and a performance range of 0.37 kW to 22 kW provide the DC1 with maximum flexibility.

A compact design and user-friendly interface make the DC1 the perfect match for machine building applications. All models come with a 7-digital display assembly and are available with an integrated EMC filter and an integrated braking transistor. Additionally, expansion modules that can be easily plugged in make it possible to expand the number of I/Os.

Features DC1:
  • Fast commissioning with 14 basic parameters
  • High overload capability: 150 % for 60 sec., 175 % for 2 sec
  • Ambient air temperature of 50°C without derating (IP20 and IP66*)
    (* Units with highest rated current within a frame size are derated for 50°C use.)
  • Integrated CANopen and Modbus RTU
  • Enclosure IP20 and IP66
  • Integrated EMC filters, option
  • Integrated brake transistor, option
  • Integrated PI controller
  • V/F control

Accessories:
  • I/O expansions
  • ext. keypad
  • Mains chokes
  • Motor reactors
  • Sine-wave filters
  • Brake resistors
  • drivesConnect parameter software

Communication system SmartWire-DT

Manufacturers of machines and systems strive to achieve a balance between the maximum level of functionality and cost optimization. Eaton has inaugurated a new age in connection technology between the individual control panel components with SmartWire-DT®. SmartWire-DT® replaces the control wiring in all components right down to the sensor, thus enabling direct and continuous communication between the central control and moving plant components. Complex wiring becomes unnecessary, remote intelligence is created and entire device levels are eliminated, including of course the associated procurement and maintenance costs.

drivesConnect parameter configuration software
drivesConnect is a powerful tool that can be used with DC1 and DA1 variable frequency drives in order to configure parameters, run diagnostics, and adjust PLC functionality settings. 

Features:
• Clearly laid-out parameter structure
• Parameters can also be easily edited offline
• Monitor function: real-time process data, such as motor current and motor frequency, is graphically displayed
• PLC functionality available for DA1; logical operators can be easily set up
• Permits the use of communications via Bluetooth with a communications stick (DX-COM-STICK).
