Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

High performance, cost effective VFDs, ideal for both machines & process control. Unitronics VFDs offer options for both single and three phase VFDs from 0.4 kW and up to 500 kW.

Use as stand-alone inverters—or optimize your applications with a complete All-in-One package with our controllers and free, Ready-made Motion code.

New! B7 Series support Ethernet and precise, integrated closed-loop control for torque, speed, and position.

VFD: Easy to Program. Simple to Use

  • STO, Built-in
  • Communication: Built-in RS485 Modbus RTU, Optional Ethernet cards
  • EMI Filters, Built-In
  • Braking units, Built-in
  • Heavy-duty overload capacity, up to 200%
  • Coated PCBs: minimize dust penetration damage
  • Sensorless control: Vector, Torque, volts per Hz
  • Closed-loop control (B7 series only)
  • Mounting options: Wall, Flange, Rail
  • Optional extension cards for communication and I/O
  • CE, UL, cUL, and TÜV-SÜD Functional Safety

Unitronics VFDs can be used as a stand-alone product, or within an end-to-end solution: VFD, controller, and HMI.

This simplifies workflow by enabling you to:

  • Obtain your VFDs, PLC + HMI controllers and related components, as well as technical support, from a single supplier.
  • Operate your VFD directly from the controller’s HMI panel
  • Use the same programming software as the PLC control and HMI application, to:
    • Set-up and configure multiple VFDs in a snap
    • Monitor and debug your VFD – either via UniLogic or Scope Trace
    • Remotely Access your VFD via UniLogic software environment
  • Effortless Communication- Simple communication based control . Ensuring your system provides robust operation & minimizing EMI effect.
  • Cost Effective –
    • Energy efficacy
    • Reduce IO modules and cabling costs
    • Short integration & development time

UniLogic – award winning software
now with VFD integration!

  • Dynamic configuration profile
  • Easy to use setup wizard
  • Multi-Motor control
  • Operate directly from UniStream
  • Monitor and debug the VFD via online watch or Scope Trace graph
