AC Electronic Drive Training | AC Variable Frequency Drive Skills

Learning System: 970-DRV1F

Amatrol’s AC Electronic Drive Learning System - AB PowerFlex 755 (970-DRV1F) provides comprehensive AC variable frequency drive (VFD) training using the powerful Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 VFD. This industrial AC electronic motor drive delivers accurate control of speed, position, and acceleration in applications such as CNC machine tools, conveyors, robots, mixers, and presses. The 970-DRV1F gives users hands-on troubleshooting experience with electronic drive motor control circuits under realistic conditions with circuit faults that can be introduced throughout the system.

The AC Electronic Drive training system includes the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 VFD (with V/Hz, Sensorless Vector, and Flux Vector control), three-phase motor, incremental encoder, Human Interface Module (HIM) programming module, and Amatrol’s exclusive FaultPro computer-based fault insertion system. The system features Amatrol eLearning curriculum that begins with the basics of VFD architecture, safety, and wiring before moving on to more advanced topics related to HIM control; discrete and analog I/O control; drive communications and programming; and drive and system troubleshooting. Users will learn dozens of relevant hands-on skills, such as wiring a three-phase motor and a dual-channel incremental encoder to a PowerFlex 755 drive; configuring and operating a PowerFlex 755 drive using three-wire control; and configuring and testing a PowerFlex 755 drive in a Studio 5000 project.

Amatrol - 970-DRV1F - Operator and VFD Panels

Comprehensive VFD Training in a Sturdy Unit

The AC Electronic Drive Learning System features a sturdy design that’s easy to transport between multiple training locations. Users will appreciate the simplicity of its design and convenience of its layout. The Operator Panel puts all displays, indicator lights, buttons, and switches within easy reach. It also includes a USB port and two Ethernet ports. In addition to the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 VFD, the VFD Panel contains a printed diagram of the inside of the VFD circuit board, as well as high-voltage test points and connections to the motor and encoder.

Real Industrial Equipment, including the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 VFD

The AC Electronic Drive Learning System teaches users relevant hands-on skills using real industrial equipment they’ll encounter in the workplace. For example, the system features the powerful Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 VFD. This versatile VFD combines multiple drive functions (general purpose/vector/positioning) that previously required three separate drives to teach. The system also includes a three-phase motor, incremental encoder, and HIM programming module.

Studio 5000 and Connected Components Workbench Software

Teach Advanced AC Electronic Drive Communications and Programming

The AC Electronic Drive Learning System teaches advanced VFD communications via the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 VFD’s embedded Ethernet port, which allows for better management of drive data over Ethernet/IP networks. Users will also learn advanced programming skills using two different types of industry-leading programming software from Rockwell Automation: Connected Components Workbench and Studio 5000.

Multimedia Student Curriculum with Dozens of Hands-On Skills

Amatrol’s eLearning curriculum features a highly-interactive, multimedia format that includes stunning 3D graphics and videos, voiceovers of all text, and interactive quizzes and exercises designed to appeal to learners with different learning styles. The 970-DRV1F curriculum starts with the basics of VFD architecture, safety, and wiring before moving on to more advanced topics related to HIM control; discrete and analog I/O control; drive communications and programming; and drive and system troubleshooting. The combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills solidifies understanding and creates a strong basis for pursuing more advanced skills.

Free Learning Management System (LMS)

Amatrol eLearning is easy-to-use for both students and instructors. Its web-based interface is simple to navigate and available on any WebGL-compatible Internet browser. Instructors love Amatrol eLearning for its simple, yet sophisticated Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS allows instructors to create custom courses, monitor student participation, track course progress, assess knowledge levels prior to a course, and test knowledge levels after completion. Learners appreciate the fact that they can start and stop as needed, moving through each Amatrol course at their own pace. If a self-review reveals that they didn’t understand a particular topic as well as they thought they did, they can revisit it before moving on.
