ANACON SYSTEMS INTRODUCES 
"PDB3 DESIGN ACCELERATOR KIT"
FOR SINGLE-PHASE AC INDUCTION MOTOR CONTROL

New : PDB3 is a design-it-yourself Drive solution for Design Engineers
Now : Variable Frequency Control for Single-Phase Inductions Motors

PDB3 (Power Drive Block 3) is an extension of Anacon's popular DigiDrive product family.

PDB3 is the core of a single-phase AC motor control design. With the addition of a few external components and appropriate heatsink, a complete drive solution is easily achieved. PDB3 accommodates a wide range of voltages and supply output currents up to 6.5 Amps. Its small footprint (3.9" x 1.5" x 1.57"), robust thermal design and flexible interfaces, will make it easy for engineers to create their own customized VFD (Variable Frequency Drive). During development and for field adjustment, if desired, PDB3 can be configured and monitored using Anacon Systems' DashDrive 2.0 software, compatible with Windows^TM95, 98, Me, 2000 and XP.

The DigiDrive "PDB3 Design Accelerator Kit "contains:

• 2 - PDB3 modules - capable of 6.5 Amps output with wide range of input voltages
• 1 - Power Interface Board - combines with PDB3 to complete an evaluation platform
• 1 - RFI Power Line Filter - 10 Amp rated power line filter to reduce input line noise.
• 1 - EMC filter - compliant to EN50081-1 and EN50081-2
• 1 - Heatsink - pre-drilled to accommodate PDB3 and the Power Interface Board
• 1 - Deluxe Control Potentiometer - for manual speed adjustment of the evaluation drive
• 1 - Configuration Kit - contains an adapter box, cables and DashDrive 2.0 software
• 1 - Design Manual - a full description of the PDB3 module, design criteria, support tools and step-by-step instructions to assist an engineer with "design-it-yourself" capability.

"The new PDB3 Design Accelerator Kit brings our customers the full capabilities of our proven DigiDrive range. By providing crucial functions in one module, we're giving engineers a sophisticated platform to build on", said Jonathan Guy, Director of Systems Design for Anacon Systems. "The new PDB3 Design Accelerator Kit provides all the pieces needed to get an OEM design off the ground. The easy-to-follow manual and instructions provide step-by-step guidance in the customization process. This kit adds a new level of flexibility and performance to our DigiDrive product family".
