V-Drives complement pump control

STICK IT The Optistick complements the V-Drives through enhanced communication ability

Industrial equipment supplier Dulpeix Liquid Meters (DLM) offers the advanced motor control (AMC) and efficient pump control (EPC) V-Drives, which are available in ingress protection (IP) or dust rating IP20, IP55 and IP66 enclosures.

Notably, the V-Drives are the latest generation of permanent magnet (PM) and standard induction motors on offer by DLM.

AMC V-Drives offer a combination of high performance together with ease of use to allow even demanding applications such as slurry pumps, cranes, conveyors and plastic injection moulding pumps to be resolved easily.

Further, the AMC V-Drives present sensorless vector control which provides up to 200% torque from zero speed, ensuring reliable starting and accurate speed control under all load conditions.

The V-Drives enable PM motor control that allows upgrading to the latest generation of high efficiency PM motors.

Regarding input and output and corresponding communications, the AMC V-Drive supports a range of protocols for modern industrial applications.

The AMC V-Drive boasts a low installation cost, which is achieved through features such as a built-in electromagnetic compatibility filter and an integral brake transistor.

V-Drive EPC

The EPC V-Drive range offers electrical wholesaler Invertek Drives’ Optiflow technology as standard on every unit to provide coordinated pump station control. This allows multiple pumps to be controlled, each at a variable speed to ensure maximum energy saving.

Automatic reconfiguring is offered should a pump fail, including the master. An internal proportional integral derivative controller is provided that is fully integrated with heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and energy efficient features, presented in a user-friendly menu to ensure ease of use and fast commissioning.

The EPC V-Drives also support a wide range of protocols including those for mining, process control and HVAC requirements including pumps, fans and compressors.

Smart Tools for all V-Drive Variable Speed Drives

The V-Drives are complemented by products such as the Optistick Smart universal series bus stick – manufactured under licence for DLM by electrical wholesaler Invertek Drives – by using Bluetooth and near field communication.

This handy feature allows copying, restoring and backup of the V-Drive parameters. It also provides a Bluetooth interface to a personal computer running the Optitools Studio programme or the Optitools Mobile app on a smartphone for convenient mobile commissioning within range.
