Vacon NXL
The Easy and Impressive AC drive
Author

Vacon NXL Perfect choice for motors up to 30kW
The NXL is the trouble-free choice for all open loop applications
The standard unit fulfills the EMC requiremens of both industrial,
public and residential environments
The same unit is suitable for all open loop applications (conveyors,
mixers, fans, pumps, packaging machines, etc.)
No additional cabinet is required, protection classes IP21 and IP54
The instructions to install, connect and program the drive, are
integrated to each unit
High starting torque and dynamics is guaranteed, thanks to
sophisticated open loop vector control and effective design
The motor noise is extremely low because of high switching frequency
(up to 16 kHz, 6 kHz as standard without derating) and close to
sinusoidal current
The standard control I/O can be extended with more inputs and
outputs. All typical fieldbus controls are possible by adding the
fieldbus boards. The RS485 (Modbus) is integrated as standard.

The standard Multi-Control Application includes a large number of possibilities, e.g.:
All control inputs and outputs are programmable
PID controller
PFC for up to four parallel pumps
Flying start
Complete protections
Motor auto-identification
Output relay delays
The PLC possibilities are integrated in the Vacon NXL. It is often possible to remove the PLC
and integrate the functions in the NXL software with the Vacon NC1131-3 Engineering tool.
Following ready-made special applications are available free of charge:
Brake control

Vacon NXL Compact frames MF2 and MF3
The Vacon NXL range also offers compact, cabinet mounted units for
motor powers up to 2.2 kW. Both the 208-230V and 380-500V ranges
are available.
The micro-frame sizes, MF2 and MF3, are the best choice when the
dynamic drive with a plenty of features have to be installed in a limited
space:
Small size
Flexible installation (back or side, screw of DIN rail)
Easy to install and use
Low noise
Large amount of control possibilities (via I/Os, or fieldbuses or display panel)
Large amount of features (e.g. fully programmable I/O, auto-identification, PID
controller, flying start)
High performance
RFI filters and AC chokes available as option
