Running Lean?
Then, lean on us! Our MOVIDRIVE
®
inverter
requires
zero
programming. So, you don’t
need an engineer who speaks IEC 61131, C#,
or C++. Simply enter your parameters and
go. MOVIDRIVE also substantially reduces
the load from your main PLC and dramatically
improves the PLC’s performance. Plus, you
can even use your existing control system
because MOVIDRIVE speaks your fieldbus
language! So, keep your bus and leave the
driving to us.
