Description

About this product

Here is all you need to know


If you need a reliable, 3 phase, digital DC drive, this is the one. The Sprint PLX series allows you to take control of the most demanding motor control applications. With 4 quadrants and a compact design, the PLX series DC motor speed controllers can be used in new design or retrofit installations easily. We’ve provided a thorough description of Sprint PLX DC drives below including all of the features and extras. Read on for more information about the PLX50.

Sprint PLX50 Features
Easy to Use

The PLX series has a 40 character alpha-numeric back-lit display included with a small ergonomically designed keypad which allows you to navigate through the menus. The menus are user-friendly with descriptive parameter names.

Extensive I/O

These 50kW DC drives have multifunction, programmable I/O with over 36 digital input/output combinations.

Serial Communications

PLX series is able to connect to a number of fieldbus networks to enable remote programming and diagnostics. Networks include Modbus, DeviceNet, CANopen, Profibus, CC-Link and Ethernet/IP.

Extremely Compact

Saving space is just one advantage of the ultra compact Sprint PLX DC drive. They provide significant space savings over other OEMs.

Software

Make configuration and monitoring that little bit easier with the software available to complement your Sprint PLX50. There are two packages available:

PL Pilot

The PL Pilot software is installed on a PC which you then connect to your DC drive via the PC’s standard serial port. This software enables you to access all levels of the drive’s functionality in an easy, understandable way.

You can check the configuration of your Sprint kW DC drive with the ‘configuration checker’ which automatically scans for connection faults and highlights the conflicts.

Savvy

Savvy is an alternative to the PL Pilot software. You can upgrade this software to include signal flow diagram graphical package which allows you to view the PLX’s internal block diagram on screen and change it by drag and drop connections from PIN to PIN.

Drive.web

All DC drives from the PLX series, including PLX50, are compatible with drive.web. This software provides robust programmable peer control for drives and systems by using Ethernet and powerful graphical tools.

The drive.web distributed control technology is scalable and is cost-effective for systems of any size or complexity. Using drive.web can work out cheaper than using a PLC in typical motor control systems and provides a better performance whilst remaining easy to use.
