ANACON SYSTEMS INTRODUCES 
NEW DigiDrive^TM LP SINGLE-BOARD LOW POWER CONTROLLERS
FOR SINGLE-PHASE AC INDUCTION MOTORS

Low Power, Low Cost, Solutions Provide OEM Design Engineers a Compact-size Controller for Cost Sensitive Applications that can Benefit from Variable Speed Control

DigiDrive^TM LP products use Anacon Systems' new AS901 microcontroller and software algorithms and include analog, digital and power electronics. The solutions easily and conveniently integrate into new and existing designs resulting in higher energy efficiency, lower conversion costs and time, lower total design costs, enhanced performance and extended motor life. The customized capabilities of the motor control, through factory implemented parameter modifications and hardware selections, result in faster time-to-market and lower cost of ownership.

The DigiDrive^TM LP series of motor controllers are a low-cost, low-power board level solution that offers the OEM customer the ability to specify only the features and options needed; optimizing the performance of the system while minimizing the system cost. Built on a common hardware platform, these controllers provide a cost-effective solution even at nominal. The options available range from input (115, 230 or 277volt) to output V/f curve shape, selectable protection features and EMC filter options. The 4" x 4" outline allows for easy mounting of this controller into a standard electrical conduit box (4.5" x 4.5") or similar enclosure.

"The low power addition to the DigiDrive family continues our company effort to provide low-cost, variable speed control for single-phase motors. Anacon Systems is dedicated to providing solutions that allow OEM's the ability to integrate variable-speed control in applications that have traditionally found this feature cost prohibitive." Said Tim Perfetto, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Anacon Systems. "The selectable options give the OEM the benefit of variable speed control for numerous applications without the traditional customization fees".

Applications

A few industries are already utilizing or currently developing variable speed motor control applications, including:

• Residential and commercial HVAC, such as air distribution blowers, heaters and ventilation fans;
• Appliances such as washing machines, as well as pumps and compressors;
• Cleanroom HEPA and ULPA air delivery systems;
• Leisure Water for Whirlpool Baths and Spas;
• Convection and conveyorized convection ovens;
• Home health care applications such as Oxygen Concentrators and Air Purifiers.
