AC890 System Drives are modular AC
drive units that can be combined to form a complete
multi-section drive system, saving space, reducing
wiring, and providing unmatched system performance.
The AC890 can control everything from induction
motors to servo motors. AC890 provides V/F, sensorless
vector, closed-loop flux vector and servo position
control; from simple AC motor control sections to more
demanding sections. The AC890 comes in a wide variety
of sizes and ratings and input and output types,
making it the right solution for virtually any motion
control project.
5-Mode Frequency Converter:
- V/F, Sensorless Vector, Flux Vector, Servo
Drive, Line Regenerative (AFE)
- Built-in EMC Filters
- 2 Performance Levels (Advanced and High
Performance)
- EN954-1 CAT. 3 Certified Optional Safe Stop
- COMMS Options Available
COMMON BUS Drives (CD) are
individual motor output sections that easily connect
to a COMMON BUS Supply (CS) with a
unique, easy-to-install DC bus bar system (SSD Rail).
COMMON BUS Made Easy!
DC bus terminals are located at top of each drive
section. Easy to use screw clamps secure the high
power bus bars. This low cost, compact design
significantly reduces wiring in common bus systems,
saving time and material cost.
COMMON BUS Drives (CD)
- Have internal DC fuses
- Need no reactors
- Provide access to all feedback and networking
options
STANDALONE Drives (SD)
The AC890 Standalone Drives are complete
AC-input-to-AC motor output controller with power
input and output terminals, and access
to all feedback and networking options.

Performance
Levels
AC890 frequency converters offer the level of
performance that best suits your application needs.
With 2 different performance levels, AC890 system
allows the maximum flexibility of use.
- Advanced Performance
Basic LINK VM function blocks: math functions,
Boolean logic, timers, counters, One shots,
threshold comparators, latches, plus: motion control
firmware with added position loop, motion control
function blocks, move incremental, move absolute,
move home, line drive master ramp and section
control, winder blocks (SPW, CPW), full function PID,
state machine, and others.
- High Performance
All Advanced Performance features, plus: Library of
pre-engineered application specific LINK VM function
blocks such as: shaftless printing, cut-to-length,
precision winding, traversing, and others.
Shaftless Registration Control Solutions
for Printing
Mechanical line shafts for printing are easily
replaced with individual AC890 drives, capable of
precise synchronization and printing registration
adjustment to each section, guaranteeing perfect
alignment of each color. AC890 High Performance Level
features a library of pre-engineered application
specific LINK VM function blocks, including shaftless
printing, cut-to-length, precision winding,
traversing, and others.
FireWire protocol (IEEE1394) ensures data
synchronization for the printing register control.
- 125µS Cycle time
- Time Synchronization
- Deterministic Network

Active Front End: Line Regenerative Systems
Common Bus Drive sections can also be configured as
Active-Front-End Input Sections, providing true
lineregenerative 4-quadrant control with no harmonics
and 1.0 power factor.
Requirements
- Pre-charging Circuit
- LCL Filter
Performance
- Fully Bidirectional Power Flow
- Overload 150% for 60 secs
- Sinusoidal Input Current
- Complies with IEEE 519
Larger AC890 systems can be matched with separate
higher power Active Front End units. Multiple rows of
AC890 Common Bus Drives are bridged together using
Common Bus Adapter modules.
890
Series CS/CD
890 Series CS/CD units provide a common bus
solution for multi-section drive applications.
Multiple 890 Series CD Common Bus Drive inverter
sections can be combined with a single 890 Series CS
Common Bus supply unit, achieving substantial space
savings and peripheral component savings within the
enclosure. Additional 890 Series CS supply units may
be paralleled to provide greater DC bus supply
amperage.
How to Pick a CS
- Select the 890CD (common-bus drives), one for
each section.
- Select the 890CS (common-bus supply) module by
adding the HP (or currents) of all the CD drives.
- Select a reactor and braking resistor kit
- Order the common bus bar and exhaust duct kit
from the options section
