    Intelligent Drive Controls Motors from 1/2 to 600 Horsepower

    Vernon Hills, Ill.-September 6, 2005-Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc., a global supplier of automation products to all major industries, has introduced its A700 high performance variable frequency drive (VFD) for controlling motors ranging from 1/2 to 600 horsepower. It will replace the company's highly successful A500 and A500L drives, which have been available since 1997.

    The A700 is the first drive from Mitsubishi to feature a built-in programmable logic controller (PLC) and features many of the special technologies originally developed for Mitsubishi Electric servo drive products, such as adaptive auto-tuning which automatically compensates for changes in load inertia. The result is smoother operation, less downtime and ultimately, lower operating costs.
