The Compax 3 is a third generation intelligent servo drive with a modular structure control that has IEC61131-3 and PLCopen that makes it ideal for use in a wide range of different applications.

It now offers many additional functions as well as IEC61131-3 programming and has compatibility with all common field bus systems including CANopen, Profibus DP and DeviceNet to help simplify integration.

The standardised IEC61131-3 programming language has gone beyond establishing itself in PLC systems in the last few years.

Today it is also frequently used for PCs, SCADA systems and also in the area of motion control systems.IEC61131-3 is the only fully recognised programming language with worldwide support for industrial automation devices and encompasses graphical and textual programming languages.

This value for money drive has high-performance control technology which uses the latest communication technology, it also has dynamic positioning and users need only one controller for all motor technologies.

The Compax3 is available in 230V and 400/480V versions for all standard performance variants.
