MW500
Firmware Versions: 3.20 · 3.10 · 3.00 · 2.10 · 2.00 · 1.60 · 1.50
Description
The MW500 is a high-performance variable speed drive for controlling three-phase induction motors with dedicated functions and high degree of protection IP66 / NEMA4X that allow their use in applications requiring a high level of precision and robustness. In addition, the MW500 has excellent flexibility because it can be installed directly on the wall or mounted on the motor, reducing costs of wiring and panels.
Refer to the MW500 user manual for detailed product information, installation requirements, parameter descriptions, and electrical specifications.
The Ladder tool is not available for MW500 firmware below v3.00 in WPS. If Ladder programming is required, use the WLP application.
Versatile
The MW500 is an inverter with IP66 rating and special mounting characteristics for environments that require high degree of protection. It offers VVW vector or V/F scalar control and can be vertically mounted in electrical panels or mounting surface.
