PMAC2-CPU Danfoss Transmission flagship product matrix was released to help "smart manufacturing in China" embrace a digital sustainable future

May 10, 2024 - Shanghai - Danfoss Transmission, the global leader in frequency conversion technology and electrification solutions, today announced the official launch of three inverter flagship products for the Chinese market at the 2024 flagship Product launch and roadshow: iC2-Micro, new and upgraded VLT® AutomationDrive FC 360 and iC7 series. At the press conference, the main person in charge of Danfoss Transmission China, as well as hundreds of partners, distributors and customer representatives from Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region gathered together to witness the launch of the flagship product.

The 2024 flagship new product launch and roadshow with the theme of "Connecting the Future Now" is the first time for Danfoss Transmission China to launch three inverter products in the form of brand flagship launch, highlighting Danfoss transmission's confidence in the Chinese market, and "in China, for China", with high-quality products and services to help Chinese enterprises to save energy and reduce carbon, achieve high-quality development. Determination and commitment to embrace a green and sustainable future.

Lu Zhongping, Vice President of Danfoss China and head of the Drive Division, said: "Sustainable development is Danfoss 'DNA. As the first company to launch commercial drives in the world, Danfoss Drives has been committed to implementing its commitment to socio-economic and environmental protection with high-quality drives and services. With the proposal of China's "double carbon target" and the continuous deepening of high-quality development process, Danfoss has strengthened its determination to develop in China, continue to increase investment, and enhance China's strategic position as a "second home market". The launch of our flagship product is an important practice in implementing this strategy and quickly combining Danfoss Transmission's leading energy efficiency technology and global success with local customer needs. We believe that with high quality, professional and powerful frequency conversion technology, as well as global high standard and fast response service, Danfoss Transmission will become an indispensable and important partner for more and more Chinese enterprises to move towards green and sustainable development. The proposal of China's "dual carbon" target, while demonstrating the responsibility of a major country, also promotes the development and application of clean energy, low-carbon technology and renewable resources in China. In the field of industrial manufacturing, the frequency converter greatly reduces the carbon footprint of industrial and commercial motors by speed regulation, reducing energy consumption, optimizing the operation curve, reducing equipment loss, etc., and is recognized as an important energy-saving equipment for industrial production and energy utilization. After entering the industrial X.0 era, by installing more sensors in equipment to optimize the process and improve energy efficiency, digital technology has also become an important driver of energy conservation and carbon reduction, and is being adopted on a large scale. The three flagship products launched by Danfoss Transmission China are the important results of the combination of frequency converter and digital intelligence technology, and will play an important role in the future process of energy conservation and emission reduction in industrial manufacturing.

After two power extensions, the iC2-Micro, the latest product in Danfoss Drive's compact inverter family, was introduced for the first time in a full power segment. As a reliable, flexible and powerful compact inverter, the iC2-Micro supports permanent magnet synchronous motors, unique cooling design and removable fans to ensure stable operation even under harsh conditions of 50 ° C. iC2-Micro's user-friendly panel design, application-oriented quick boot configuration and parameter setting reduce the complexity of commissioning and make operation easier, perfect for all types of pumps, fans, material handling, packaging machinery, textile machinery and other equipment, is the world's OEM and system integrators value choice. With the Danfoss Drive MyDrive® Insight digital tool, users can quickly set up, debug and monitor the iC2-Micro, increasing productivity.

The new general purpose high performance inverter VLT® AutomationDrive FC 360 (hereinafter referred to as the "new FC 360") unveiled at this conference has been expanded with power coverage from 0.37kW to 315kW, and is available in light load and heavy load versions. Suitable for textile, food and beverage, logistics, metal processing, glass, chemical, water treatment, material treatment and building materials and other industries, including extruder, winding machine, roving machine, stacker, mixing equipment, tractor, pump and fan and other equipment, is a "big" can be used for general inverter. The new FC 360 built-in intelligent logic controller, PID controller and positioning control function, support double closed-loop control, anti-shock function, can be used for high dynamic applications, control more efficient and accurate, and stable and safe, full load output at -10℃ to 45℃, but also can save 5% to 15% energy consumption, both production efficiency and cost effectiveness.

On behalf of Danfoss transmission, the flagship new iC7 series inverter, which deeply integrates intelligent frequency conversion technology with digitalization and the Internet of Things, also made a heavy debut at the press conference. As a groundbreaking product, the iC7 series integrates an FPGA to enable parallel multitasking and processing 5 to 10 times faster. By integrating numerous sensors, the iC7 series improves performance and control accuracy, enabling real-time monitoring of operating conditions and preventive maintenance of inverters and equipment for more stable and efficient operation. In addition, the iC7 series also supports the FMI Standard (Functional Mock-Up Interface Standard.), a variety of simulation tools and mainstream industrial Internet of Things communication protocols, enabling 1:1 implementation of digital twins based on driver code simulation models to help users optimize control of devices. Shorten design and test time, quickly eliminate equipment operation risks, and reduce production costs. In addition, the iC7 series is the first inverter product in the industry to use hardware encryption technology. With built-in encryption chips, protected firmware and encrypted data transmission, the iC7 series drives support tamper-proof hardware, malicious firmware prevention, local storage protection and end-to-end encrypted network connectivity, which are designed to protect device data and are currently one of the most secure drives in the world. The iC7 series has launched IC7-Automation, IC7-Marine and IC7-Hybrid products for industrial, Marine and energy conversion sectors, which not only optimizes motor performance and greatly improves motor control accuracy, but also reduces energy consumption by 15% to 40% and improves carbon footprint.
