>pDRIVE< standard functions for optimum power in the shortest time
I Flexible display configuration
The large graphic display screen and the distinctive pictographs
on the keypad simplify the process of optimal parameterisation
and can be quickly adapted to the individual needs of the user.
The status of the equipment, the reference values and actual
values – everything has its place.
I Intelligent application macros
In order to guarantee the shortest startup times possible, our
>pDRIVE< MX inverters are equipped with sophisticated parameter
pre-settings for all standard applications. However, expert users
value the possibility of saving their own settings in user macros.
I Multifunctional motor protection
>pDRIVE< MX frequency inverters immediately recognize overloaded
and underloaded motors and react according to the respective
requirements. Moreover, >pDRIVE< features integrated heating to
protect the motor from condensation.
>pDRIVE< functions for individual applications
Reliable crane control
When the crane function is activated, parameters are automatically set to the respective hoisting and trolley functions.
These parameters can be more precisely adjusted to meet the needs of a particular application. The rotational speed
is automatically adjusted for lower loads (fast mode).
Controlled failure behaviour
Upon request, >pDRIVE< inverters can make attempts at minimizing damage in the event of system failures. The
inverter reacts to various types of failures, such as external or process failures, with an alarm, switching off or with
sending a digital signal to a PLC. >pDRIVE< takes no risk!
Protective emergency operation
The safety of the personnel is always more important than the protection of the inverter. In emergency situations
the >pDRIVE< MX deactivates several inverter protection functions in order to provide adequate personal protection.
Automatic balance control
If several inverters operate on the same load, a load balance process is essential because unavoidable inaccuracies
can arise even with speed-controlled devices. The >pDRIVE< balance control either produces an internal correction
signal or processes the reference value of an external control unit.
Economical braking method
>pDRIVE< frequency inverters are equipped with an internal “motor braking function” that provides braking power
without additional braking equipment. Alternatively, more stringent demands may require an external braking unit
that is reliably controlled and monitored by the >pDRIVE< MX.

3. Simply Intelligent – the new MatriX 2.0 I Local control
Everything at a glance. The device status of
>pDRIVE< MX, all actual and reference values as
well as the status of the digital input signals are
available for monitoring purposes or for online control.
Computer-controlled systems have become the norm in the industry. We have expanded on this
basic requirement to include application-specific requirements of our customers and have developed
an unusually convenient and powerful software program called MatriX 2.0. The program guarantees
smooth and reliable communication between the >pDRIVE< MX frequency inverter and the control

either the analogue or digital status in real-time mode
during operation and record the data for later analysis.
The built-in trigger is valuable particularly for the
analysis of unplanned events.
I Parameter-Editor
Our concise user interface is available on personal
computers. All parameters can be queried and
changed online if necessary. The most significant
values are also displayed so the user has all the
required information.
I Docu mode
The input parameters and actual values are compactly
and concisely presented, stored or printed as
requested. Parameters that differ from default settings
are specially marked. The decisive advantage of this
function is that the user can define the settings for
one inverter and can transfer these settings auto-
matically to all the other inverters at the plant.
I Failure memory
Intelligent support is also available in the event of
failures: >pDRIVE< MX inverters make a detailed
data record of each problem. The failure memory
can easily be evaluated and archived with the help
of MatriX 2.0.

The regeneration capability ensures the shortest
amortization times in drives that operate fre-
quently in generatoric operation, such as test
stands, unreeling systems, hoisting devices, etc.
The >pDRIVE< LX can be used in connection
with a single drive as well as a supply / regener-
ative unit for a group drive.
The increasing demand for controlled drives has
led to enormous burdens on industrial mains.
With the >pDRIVE< LX plus we have made a
significant contribution to correcting this
situation.
The sinusoidal mains current in the device
ensures complete avoidance of the low-
frequency current harmonics. Moreover, the
available reserve of the device can be used for
reactive current compensation in the supplied
mains.
