The Bosch Rexroth Indramat RD52.1-4B-160-F-V1-FW drive converter from the RD 500 Drive Controllers series is engineered for demanding industrial environments with a nominal connecting voltage of 3 x AC 380-480 V and a rated power of 160 kW. This converter with a built-in brake chopper ensures efficient regenerative braking through its integrated high-load resistor design. Thermal management is handled by a forced air cooling with integrated liquid circulation system that maintains optimal operating temperatures under continuous heavy load. The modular hardware and software architecture supports flexible adaptation to specific drive functions and simplifies maintenance.
With advanced flux vector control, the RD52.1-4B-160-F-V1-FW delivers precise torque and speed regulation for both synchronous and induction motors. It accommodates encoderless operation or pairing with an incremental encoder, resolver, or sin/cos encoder for applications requiring feedback. Multiple communication options—including Profibus DP slave, CANopen, and high-speed SynchroLink for multi-drive synchronization—enable seamless integration into complex automation networks. Peer-to-Peer coupling via fiber-optic cable further enhances system robustness and reduces cable routing complexity.
Uninterrupted control electronics operation is guaranteed by a 24 V standby power supply, allowing parameter retention and monitoring during power interruptions. Comprehensive line conditioning is provided by radio interference suppression filters and line reactors, ensuring compliance with EMC directives and noise immunity standards according to EN 50082-2. The RD52.1-4B-160-F-V1-FW stands out as a versatile, high-performance converter well suited for process technology, packaging machinery, and heavy-duty handling systems.
