i510 protec & i550 protec: Rugged, Decentralized Drives Built for Real-World Demands

Introduction:

In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, efficiency, compact design, and smart connectivity define success. Enter the Lenze i510 protec and i550 protec drives – two advanced, decentralized variable frequency drives (VFDs) engineered to handle the demanding needs of modern automation. Proudly supplied by Eurocon Instruments, these drives offer unmatched flexibility, rugged protection, and intelligent motor control in a compact footprint.

🔧 Built for Harsh Conditions

Both i510 protec and i550 protec are decentralized drives, meaning they’re designed to be mounted directly on the machine or close to the motor—outside the control panel. This eliminates unnecessary wiring, reduces panel space, and simplifies installation.

These drives are protected with an IP66-rated enclosure, offering resistance to dust, moisture, and powerful water jets. Ideal for environments like food processing, packaging, logistics, or outdoor machinery, the coated PCBs and sealed design ensure dependable operation—even under tough industrial conditions.

⚙️ Power & Performance

• i510 protec supports motors up to 2.2 kW, perfect for conveyors, fans, and smaller drives.

• i550 protec extends that capacity to 5.5 kW, suitable for more demanding applications needing advanced control.

• Both operate at a 3-phase 400V supply, with a frequency range of 0–599 Hz, ensuring smooth and efficient speed regulation for various load types.

These drives use V/f and sensorless vector control methods, enabling stable operation even in dynamic load conditions.

🧠 Intelligent Connectivity

One of the standout features of the i550 protec is its fieldbus modularity. With plugin options like PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and CANopen, it’s fully prepared for Industry 4.0 connectivity. The i510 protec, while simpler, still offers powerful performance and flexibility in less complex environments.

Additionally, both drives are compatible with Lenze’s EASY Starter software, making parameter setting and diagnostics quick and user-friendly. For mobile convenience, a WLAN module is available, allowing configuration and monitoring via a smartphone or tablet.

🔒 Safety & Control

These drives support Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality, compliant with EN ISO 13849-1, ensuring secure motor shutdown during faults or maintenance.

They also include features such as:

• Overload and overvoltage protection

• Motor thermistor input

• Soft start/stop to minimize mechanical stress

• Built-in brake chopper (optional in i550 protec)

• 
  

🛠 Application Versatility
