PowerXL DE1 variable speed starter
The PowerXL DE1 is a convenient and reliable option for panel builders and MOEMs who need a variable frequency drive and advanced motor protection for basic applications. The DE1 has a simple setup and commissioning process, thanks to only 14 essential parameters, optional SmartWire-DT connectivity and a user-friendly configuration module for parameter settings. The DE1 offers an innovative solution that simplifies the design and reduces the installation and commissioning time of the system.
Out-of-the-box
Time savings of up to 70 % during commissioning
Wiring based on SmartWire-DT
Time savings up to 80%
Trip-free design
Maximum machine availability
Core features
- Variable motor speeds
- Out-of-the-box commissioning, no configuration required
- Trip-free design for maximum machine availability
- The easy handling and assembly of a motor starter
- On-board communications - Modbus RTU and CANopen
- Optional communications via PROFINET, Ethernet/IP and SmartWire-DT enabled
Easy configuration with a screwdriver
Besides the ready-to-use commissioning, which eliminates the need for any extra configuration, users also have an optional plug-in configuration tool at their disposal. This way, the most important parameters, such as those related to motor protection and the terminal mode of operation, can be customized to each application—simply by using a screwdriver.
Simplify your processes with the ability to connect to SmartWire-DT
The variable speed starter comes with an optional SmartWire-DT interface. Our intelligent communication system allows for the quick planning and implementation of simple, streamlined structures. This eliminates the need for any I/O level on the PLC itself. Data transparency further simplifies the diagnostics and maintenance of your system, reducing the time required for wiring, testing and commissioning.
Quick and easy identification of energy requirements.
The Energy Savings Estimator helps you determine the expected energy consumption of your application. The tool will calculate your potential cost and energy savings, and will display them using a variety of display options.
