Factory Authorized Drive Start Up

Ensure a smoother start-up and keep your production on schedule.

Our experienced technical team gets your new drives and systems operational efficiently, reducing the risk of performance problems and premature equipment failures.

Ask Yourself:

  • Does your engineering staff have the expertise to install new standalone drives or systems?
  • Are you confident that they are familiar with the specific wiring, grounding guidelines, and application of power?
  • Do you need a specialist to test the drive before it's active in your production environment?

What Your Drive Start-Up Includes:

  • Physical inspection and verification of proper drive and motor installation practices prior to the application of power.
  • Verification that external control wiring is properly terminated at the drive input and output connection points.
  • Confirmation of drive cabling to motor, line feed, and isolation transformer (if applicable).
  • Adjustment of operation parameters, within drive and motor design limitations, to values as appropriate for the application.
  • Operation of drive through speed range to verify proper performance.
  • Loading of network parameters in the drive (Ethernet, ControlNet, DeviceNet) if remote control options are required.
