160-BA10NSF1

The 160-BA10NSF1 is an Allen-Bradley Variable Speed Drive (VSD) that belongs to the bulletin 160 SSC series. This drive series is available in Series A-C where series A drives support RS232 and DeviceNet communication module as optional communication interface while Series C drives come with integrated RS232 port and maintain support for insertion of additional DeviceNet communication module. The 160-BA10NSF1 is primarily used to implement speed control of industrial AC motors. It delivers a variable frequency and pulse modulated output, capable of Volts per Hertz (V/Hz) control method. It comes with built-in I/O terminals which are composed of discrete inputs including dry contact, start / stop / forward / reverse, and programmable inputs; form C relay contact output; 4-20 mA / -10 VDC to +10 VDC analog inputs and 1K - 10K ohms potentiometer input. Through these I/O terminals, external signaling devices can be wired to allow remote operation and integration to higher-level controllers such as programmable logic/automation controllers (PLC / PAC). The 160-BA10NSF1 comes with internal motor protection features including overload, overcurrent, overtemperature, overvoltage, and undervoltage features. It is also capable of detecting ground short and output circuit shorting. This drive can also perform soft-starting features as it comes with programmable acceleration and deceleration times, each adjustable from 0.1 to 600 seconds. It also supports S-Curve acceleration and deceleration times which can be configured as 0-100% of acceleration and deceleration settings, not to exceed 60 seconds. It also has programmable stopping modes specifically, ramp to stop, coast to stop, DC injection braking, and DC injection braking with auto-stop.

The Allen-Bradley 160-BA10NSF1 is a variable speed controller belonging to the Allen-Bradley 160 SSC product range (Series C). The 160-BA10NSF1 has input voltage rating of 380 / 460V AC (three-phase, 50/60 Hz). Operational voltage range is 340 - 506VAC and the maximum input current is 12.2A. The input power rating is 9.7 KVA and the short-circuit current rating is 10KA. Copper wire that is rated for 75°C and 4mm2 .75mm2 diameter (12 - 18 AWG) is recommended for use on the 160-BA10NSF1. The 160-BA10NSF1 supports an output current of up to 10.5 A, and it supports 3-phase motors with maximum ratings of 3.75 kW (5 HP). The output voltage is adjustable from 0V to the input voltage and the output frequency can be set from between 0 and 240 Hz. The controller supports the Analog Signal Follower control algorithm. An optional Program Keypad Module can be ordered with the 160-BA10NSF1. This module enables the viewing and modification of controller parameters. Other optional modules include dynamic brake, line filter, device net communication, RS-232 communication, remote programming adapter, 24V DC interface and capacitor modules. The 160-BA10NSF1 is a fan-cooled device: overheating is prevented by the cooling fan that provides air flow across heatsink fins. The cooling fan needs to be protected from dust or metallic particles. The controller should be installed on a flat, vertical, and level surface. Before servicing, it is recommended to allow 1 minute to pass after the power is removed because the accessible surfaces may be hot. The controller should be protected from a corrosive atmosphere, moisture, and direct sunlight. The 160-BA10NSF1 is protected by an open IP20-rated enclosure. The power dissipation during operation is 120 W. Its operating temperature range is 32 -122°F at 0 to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing). The controller dimensions are 193 x 92 x 193 mm and it weighs 2.37 kg. The 160-BA10NSF1 is a Bulletin 160 Smart Speed Controller (SSC) by Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Automation. This hardware is a compact variable speed drive for use on three-phase induction AC motors. The 160-BA10NSF1 is microprocessor controlled and fully programmable for a variety of applications. Standard features for the 160-BA10NSF1 include ratings of 0.37-4.0 Kilowatts (0.5-5.0 Horsepower), compact design, feed through wiring, IGBT technology, PWM control, quiet operation, and its ability to be fully programmable. Standard drive configurations include IP20 (open style) enclosure type rating, chassis mount, and 160Z (IP65/NEMA 4X). This hardware has agency approvals from UL (UL 508C), C/UL (CSA 22.2), CE EMC Directive (EMC: EN61800-3, EN50081-1, EN50082-2), Low Voltage Directive (LVD: EN50178, EN6024-1), and C-Tick AS/NZS2064.

Specifications for the 160-BA10NSF1 include an output voltage that is adjustable from 0 Volts to input voltage, an output frequency of 0 to 240 Hertz (Programmable), and an efficiency of 97.5% (typical). Transient protection is standard 6 kV for Series C drives. Environmental specifications include an enclosure of IP20/IP66 (NEMA Type 12/4/4X), an ambient temperature rating of 0 to 50 degrees Celsius (IP20) and 0 to 40 degrees Celsius (IP66), and a storage temperature of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius (-40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit). The 160-BA10NSF1 has a relative humidity rating of 0 to 95% (non-condensing), a vibration of 1.0 G operational and 2.5 g non-operational, and a shock of 15 g operational and 30 g non-operational. The maximum altitude rating for this hardware is 1,000 meters, or 3,300 feet (without derating).
