High Performance and Safety for Centralized and Distributed Drive Solutions

Whether installed in a control cabinet or implemented as a distributed drive system, NORD AC vector drives deliver high performance, reliability, and safety.

NORD control cabinet and distributed drive electronics feature scalable functionality, straightforward installation, and precise speed control. The integrated PLC in NORD distributed drives supports modular and autonomous production system design.

NORDCON tools simplify commissioning, parameter adjustment, and operation. Optimized cabling concepts can also help reduce overall system costs. NORD drive solutions are designed for operation with both asynchronous and synchronous motors.

A Modular System With Many Advantages

With scalable functionality, the NORD modular system can be configured for a wide range of drive applications. NORD drive electronics support all common bus systems and communicate with standard control architectures.

The POSICON positioning control provides integrated positioning and synchronization functions, while functional safety features such as STO and SS1 are built in. NORD AC vector drives also include integrated brake rectifiers for motor brake control.

Energy-saving functions for partial-load operation, user-friendly commissioning and parameter setup tools, and a straightforward parameter structure further expand the flexibility and functionality of the NORD modular system.

Variable Frequency Drives and Motor Starters from NORD

NORD electronic drive technology can be flexibly configured for a wide range of applications. The systems are quick to install, easy to operate, and compatible with common bus systems and controllers.

NORD variable frequency drives and motor starters are suitable for both centralized control cabinet installation and decentralized operation mounted directly on the motor. Industry 4.0-ready functionality, network connectivity, and integrated PLC capabilities allow internal status data and externally connected sensor data to be processed locally, supporting remote condition monitoring and improved system visibility.
