FR-A800 is designed for high-performance industrial applications requiring precise speed and torque control. Perfect for automation, material handling, cranes, machine tools, and servo-like positioning. Example uses include conveyor lines in factories, CNC machinery, or automated packaging systems.
FR-F800 is optimized for fan and pump applications — making it ideal for HVAC systems, building automation, water treatment plants, and irrigation pumps. It supports energy savings, PID control, and soft-start for critical load protection. Example: rooftop air handling units, cooling towers, or water booster stations.
FR-E800 is compact but powerful, ideal for OEM integration or where panel space is limited. It supports Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, and built-in STO (Safe Torque Off). Use it in packaging machines, mixers, conveyors, or small industrial automation lines where space-saving is key.
FR-D700 is a cost-effective solution for simple applications. Great for small motors and basic control needs like fans, pumps, agitators, or basic conveyor systems. If you're retrofitting older equipment or automating a small process for the first time, this is a reliable entry-level option.
