FAQ

Question?

What is the difference between the ND (Normal Duty) and HD (Heavy Duty) ratings on this drive?

Answer: The ND rating (7.5kW / 17.4A) is for applications with low overloads, like fans and pumps. The HD rating (4.0kW / 9.0A) is for applications requiring high starting torque and frequent overloads, such as cranes and conveyors.

Can this FR-A840 inverter communicate via CC-Link IE Field Basic?

Answer: Yes, the FR-A800 series has an integrated Ethernet port that supports various protocols, including CC-Link IE Field Network Basic, enabling seamless integration with Mitsubishi Electric automation systems.

What is the purpose of the built-in PLC function?

Answer: The integrated PLC allows the drive to perform simple logical operations and control sequences independently, without the need for an external controller. This is ideal for standalone machines or for distributing control logic within a larger system.
