Included Features

Graphical LCP 102 Display — Full-text graphical keypad with copy/paste parameter functionality between drives
Smart Logic Controller (SLC) — Built-in event-driven sequencer for basic automation without an external PLC
Integrated Motion Controller (IMC) — Software-configurable positioning and synchronization (no additional hardware required)
Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA) — Automated motor parameter tuning at commissioning
4 Independent Parameter Set-Ups — Store and switch between four complete parameter profiles
Built-In DC Choke — Reduces harmonic distortion on the mains supply
Integrated RFI Filter — EMC Class A1/B (C1) for industrial and light commercial environments
Flying Start — Catches a spinning motor without stopping it first
Kinetic Backup / Ride-Through — Maintains control during brief power interruptions by extracting energy from motor inertia

Condition & Notes
Condition: [INSERT: New / Used / Surplus / Refurbished]
Tested: [INSERT: Yes — bench tested and verified functional / Sold as-is]
Includes: Drive unit, graphical LCP 102 keypad (attached). [INSERT: Any additional items — original box, mounting hardware, manual, etc.]
No fieldbus option cards are installed. RS-485 serial communication is available as standard. Optional fieldbus cards (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, etc.) can be purchased separately and installed in the A, B, or C option slots.
External brake resistor not included. The brake chopper is built into this drive — an appropriately sized external brake resistor must be connected separately if dynamic braking is required.

Ideal Applications
Conveyors, hoists, cranes, mixers, centrifuges, winders, extruders, pumps, fans, compressors, machine tools, packaging machinery, and any application requiring precise speed/torque control or dynamic braking capability.
