AC890 Series

The AC890 is a compact, modular system variable speed AC drive engineered to control speed and position of open-loop and closed-loop, single- or multi-motor AC induction or servo motor applications, up to 355 kW.

⚙️ Parker AC890 – High-Performance Modular AC Drive System

Compact, flexible, and designed for systems integration — the Parker AC890 delivers precise
speed, torque, and position control for open- or closed-loop AC induction and PMAC motor applications.

The AC890 is a high-performance variable speed systems AC drive engineered to optimize machine performance while saving time and integration costs. It’s compatible with a wide range of feedback devices and supports any AC induction or PMAC motor. Three option slots allow flexible communication and I/O expansion, while both AC and DC input versions provide design adaptability. Conformal coating is available for harsh environments.

Available ratings:
380–460/500V 3-phase (0.55–355kW) and 220–240V 3-phase (0.55–7.5kW).

🔧 Features & Key Benefits

    • Open communication architecture – integrates seamlessly with any PLC or fieldbus network using a wide range of communication options.
    • Ultra-fast control loops: Torque loop 62.5 µs | Speed loop 62.5 µs | Position loop 62.5 µs
    • High-bandwidth performance thanks to 150MHz microprocessor and advanced control algorithms – ideal for high-speed applications like printing, cut-to-length, and slitting.
    • Low latency between fieldbus setpoints and control loops ensures real-time precision in automation systems.
    • Native peer-to-peer communications via IEEE1394 or CAN, with cascading of setpoints and feedback between drives using DSE890 software.
    • Digital fieldbus compatibility replaces analog systems with minimal bandwidth loss.
    • Flexible feedback options: Incremental encoder, EnDat 2.1 (SinCos), and resolver.

⚙️ Operating Modes

    • Open-loop (V/f) Control: Ideal for basic single or multi-motor speed control.
    • Sensorless Vector Control: Delivers high torque and tight speed regulation without a feedback device.
    • Closed-loop Vector Control: Full flux vector performance with encoder feedback, providing 100% standstill torque and dynamic speed response.
    • 4-Quadrant Active Front-End: Regenerates energy to the mains supply with sinusoidal currents and unity power factor (THD < 5%).
