Fuji Variable Frequency Drives

[joel89]

Hi all I have been told these are good drives for crane control? not used them yet but the prices seem a lot cheaper than the telemecanique alternative wondered if anyone had used them and or programmed them?

They are a cheap drive and wont come with as many features as the higher end ones.

Also depends on what the VSD will be controlling, long/cross travel? It will need special control to run the hoist.

Yes I Know they’re cheaper but reliability is the main thing I want. The hoist inverters I believe I need fuji Megas, and cross, long travel is Fuji frecnic ace/ mini.

Is there any software for the laptop to set parameters? Rather than on the display

 

[Bobster]

Not entirely sure, but they are an almost copy of Mitsubishi drives. An that comes with software.

Don't know about reliability but we don't use them, they often don't have a high enough MTTF to fill the mission times set by clients.

I found the software the cable I need is a USB to RS485. I have one of these for the Schneider drives could it be used on any other make of drive? Would have thought RJ45 pin configuration would be the same. ?

The cable will be standard, you will just need to download the software. I’m sure they will have it on a disc with the drive or on the website/portal
