20AB015A3AYNACNN

The 20AB015A3AYNACNN is an adjustable frequency drive designed and manufactured by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. The drive has an already installed ControlNet communications port. A ControlNet network, when used on the industrial floor, facilitates the faster sending of data packets between 1 device and another on the network. The speed capability of the ControlNet network makes the network suitable when working with motion controllers, positioning equipment, or any other equipment that requires high-speed communication capabilities. With a ControlNet network, devices can be programmed to send data within a specified period of time and the network will never fail. However, with a ControlNet network, devices like the 20AB015A3AYNACNN are connected using coaxial cables. Coaxial cables require a higher number of splitters and nodes and it requires a lot of tuning to make the devices fit into the network.

However, the 20AB015A3AYNACNN has a terminal block which can be used to interface the drive with other more easily manageable networks like a DeviceNet network. The 20AB015A3AYNACNN has a current rating of 15.3 Amps an apparent power and Horsepower rating of 4.0 kilowatts and 5.0 Horsepower, respectively. The drive is shipped with a pre-installed human-machine interface module that features an LCD screen and a numeric keypad. The Rockwell Automation 20AB015A3AYNACNN controls the interfaced motor by using parameters which the users program to fit the required motor speed. The programming of the parameters is facilitated by the onboard keypad and the LCD. The parameters are either grouped as ENUM, bit, or Numeric parameters.
