Control Mode Application and Selection Guide

The A510 Heavy Duty AC Drive is an easily configured versatile drive product that will control all
general applications such as fans, pumps, conveyors, and mixers. It comes standard with a simple to
select preset application parameters for many commonly used applications.

A preset application menu designed to simplify start-up is provided for the following applications:

• Pump

• Exhaust

• Compressor

• Conveyor

• HVAC

• Hoist

• Crane

Despite its simple and easy approach, the A510 is loaded with features to solve tough and demanding
applications such as reciprocating pumps, compressors and high torque/ high inertia loads.

Advanced algorithms allow the A510 to perform tight and precise speed control when coupled with
encoder feedback on the motor being controlled.
