Inovance ac drives and solutions improve electric motor test performance for vascat

Inovance supplies VASCAT with two 220 kW MD520 AC drives (heavy duty) Improved performance and control capabilities of different engine types Risk-free integration into existing systems Spanish electric motor manufacturer VASCAT has used technology from global industrial automation specialist Inovance to improve motor control performance in product testing. VASCAT uses MD520 AC drives supplied by Inovance to test its motors internally and control a second motor that serves as a load for the motor under test. With the MD520 drive, VASCAT can now test a wide range of electric motors with or without feedback, including asynchronous, synchronous reluctance, and permanent magnet synchronous motors. The ability to operate without feedback allows for effective preliminary testing, ruling out any motor feedback issues. Inovance products integrate seamlessly into your existing system VASCAT chose Inovance for the key advantages provided not only by the solutions themselves, but also by the ease of integration into an existing system. An Inovance EtherNet/IP communication card enabled effective integration with the existing control system. The MD520 AC drive was installed safely into the existing common DC bus architecture via the DC bus terminals. The drive's internal pre-charging circuitry also proved effective on these terminals, allowing connection to the drive even when the DC bus system is already powered. Inovance solutions used in the VASCAT system include two MD520-4T220S-INT 220 kW AC drives, MD500-EN1 EtherNet/IP option cards, MD38PGMD incremental encoder option cards, and SOP-20-810 LCD keypads. Vascat praised the performance of the Inovance drive on a challenging project The main challenge VASCAT faced was integrating Inovance's MD520 AC drive into an existing system based on a common DC bus architecture and controlling it from a third-party controller via EtherNet/IP communication. Integration with the existing control system was challenging because the MD520 was replacing a competitor's drive with a different parameter structure. Nevertheless, the system was adapted to integrate the drive. VASCAT was satisfied with the drive's performance, and the company can now easily control a wide range of motors from low to high power, something not possible with the previous AC drive. Mr. Bilal Al Mard, Head of Electrical Engineering at VASCAT, says: “Working with the Inovance team during the commissioning of the MD520 was a technically enriching experience. Their commitment to adapting to our facilities and ensuring the success of the project was greatly appreciated. It was a very positive first collaboration, and we hope to work together again in the future.” David Bedford Guaus, Country Manager of Inovance Technology Spain and Technical Director for Inovance in the Europe and North America regions, adds: “We enjoyed working with VASCAT on this challenging but rewarding project and were impressed with the quality of the existing system. Working together to find a solution to integrate our drives into the system has further improved it, and we look forward to working with VASCAT again in the future.”
