15.F6.K12-3521
The KEB 15.F6.K12-3521 from the F6 Combivert Inverter Drives series by KEB is a compact control inverter designed for advanced industrial automation applications. It features a compact control type housing optimized for space-saving installations and a multi-encoder interface supporting CAN, STO, and VARAN communication protocols. With a software current limit of 150%, this drive ensures operational safety by preventing overcurrent events and allows precise torque control in handling equipment and conveyor systems. Its primary function is to convert and regulate 400V AC/DC power across three phases, providing reliable motion control for rotary axes and dynamic industrial environments.
In terms of technical specifications, the 15.F6.K12-3521 inverter offers a switching frequency of 4 kHz, balancing efficiency and size of passive components while minimizing audible noise. The unit operates on 3 phases at 400V AC/DC and includes a braking transistor connection type for enhanced braking performance. Its turn-off current of 180% supports rapid deceleration and safe stop functions. Unique to this model is the integration of a safety module type 1/STO (Safe Torque Off) at control type K, which prevents accidental startup by ensuring zero torque during emergency stops. The drive’s control board variant provides flexible connectivity with multi-encoder interface, CAN, STO, and VARAN protocols to seamlessly integrate with modern PLCs and motion controllers.
Additional features of the 15.F6.K12-3521 inverter include an air-cooled heat sink version suitable for mounting in challenging environments with surrounding temperatures from -25 to 55 degrees C. The drive is rated for a relative humidity of 5…95% (without condensation), enhancing its durability under varying shop floor conditions. The robust design ensures compatibility with common industrial automation architectures and reduces maintenance intervals. By combining advanced safety functions, flexible communication interfaces, and reliable thermal management, the KEB 15.F6.K12-3521 inverter drive delivers exceptional efficiency, reliability, and safety in demanding industrial applications.
