Energy-efficient

drive technology

Optimal energy management for a “green footprint” of your

machines with KeDrive D3 Smart DC Systems

The energy transition and rising energy prices demand sustainable and efficient

solutions for machines and systems. 70 % of the energy in factory automation is

consumed by electric drives—a significant savings potential with regard to operation

and installation cost.

As a machine manufacturer or plant operator, what is your

mission and what are your challenges?

We work together with you to develop smart and efficient solutions.

Active power supply units

• Energy recovery feeds regenerative energy into the AC grid

• Controlled DC link voltage for best drive utilization and

mains independence

• Limitation of the mains input power

Highlights

• Established pitch performance in On- and Offshore

applications up to 6 MW

• High functional integration for cost-effective layouts

• Wide HVRT tolerance and hardware protection

• Extended temperature range and vibration resistance

• TÜV certified pitch system feathering with Performance Level D

• Preconfigured and proven software functions with autonomous

resets and mode changes

Your added value through certified and highly integrated

technology in the pitch system

With 25 years of application experience in the pitch system through well over

130.000 systems installed worldwide and TÜV/UL certified technology, KEBA

offers the most established product in the market.

The extraordinary product maturity, through many years of further develop

ment of software and hardware components, ensures a reliable and durable

system.

Proven industry standard and sophistication

The PitchMaster II+ products have been designed for the rugged

external conditions in the rotating hub of a wind turbine installation.

They stand out for their great robustness and an extended temperature

range in the cabinet from -30 to +70°C.

The housing design provides for flexible installation and an increased

resistance to vibration, impact, and continuous shocks.

Your benefits at a glance

• AC and DC motor support: The software supports the closed-loop control

of synchronous and asynchronous motors and DC motors

• Built-in Gl2010-compliant monitoring of the emergency supply system

without additional converters

The Pitch system for your application

The PitchMaster II+ Pitch drives are particularly robust and were specially

developed for the tough conditions in the rotor hubs of wind turbine installations.

The high functional integration of the PitchMaster II+ drives simplifies the design

and significantly reduces the Pitch cabinet volume as well as the required wiring.

The TÜV-certified functional safety accelerates the certification process for your

wind turbine.

The industry standard in Pitch servo drives applications

Built into axis controller as standard

KeDrive D3 comes with STO (SIL3. PLe, Kat 4) and SBC (SIL2. PLd, Kat 3) as stan

dard. This makes the drive system suitable for applications with high demands on

safety, for example in presses or for the handling of suspended loads.

SafeMotion in axis controller (option)

The axis controller safely monitors the motion in compliance with EN / IEC 61508 and

EN / ISO 13849. Available safety functions include SS1. SS2. SOS, SLS, SLI, SDI and

SLP with up to SIL3. PL e, Cat 4. With the high safety levels that can be achieved,

deployment is possible in all safety-critical applications.

ServoOne CM

Machine safety control system

The FSM safety control system easily manages the safe I/Os and controls the safe

movements of multiple axes. The intuitive SafetyManager drag&drop UI allows users

to configure, program and then validate the entire safety system. CRCs ensure data

consistency, which can be verified for series processes.

Highlights

Simplicity

We simplify your automation to give you more time for what matters.

Simple installation

Installation is much less complex than for conventional solutions: firstly because of the

small number of components needed, and secondly because these components can

be quickly connected using a simple connection system.

One-cable technology

KeDrive D3 supports one-cable technology as well as conventional encoder systems.

This makes it possible to omit the encoder cable entirely and further simplify

installation.

Fast commissioning

Project planning and configuration are easy with the convenient KeStudio Drive-

Manager PC tool. The initial drive design is performed using the Servosoft software.

Integrated safety technology

Easily and quickly adapted to your specific needs.

• Controlled DC link voltage for best drive utilization and

mains independence

• Limitation of the mains input power

Controlled energy storage systems

• Temporary storage for regenerative energy

• Peak power reduction through “peak shaving”

• Bridging of mains failures (short time UPS for DC link)

• Reduced harmonic distortion (THD) due to sinusoidal mains currents

Full

flexibility

The world of KEBA automation is open. You define which concepts and solutions and ultimately

which products create your competitive edge. Our mission is to open up new opportunities for you

through maximum differentiation by combining your know-how and our technology. For this reason,

our drive systems harmonize with a wide variety of automation concepts.

Flexible real-time communication

EtherCAT, PROFINET and Powerlink for the standardized integration into different control systems.

Of course also included: FSoE or PROFIsafe safety protocols.

Universal, open motor and feedback interface

Use KEBA servo motors to solve highly diverse load and motion requirements. For cases where

our portfolio does not provide a good fit for your solution, we can easily integrate your motor to

gether with the encoder system.

It’s All About  Partnership. And Choices.

Automation solutions become a success factor when they

give our customers the freedom to make the most of their

competitive advantage.

A good relationship needs space.

Multi-axis drive solutions

for safe machine automation

KeDrive D3 is setting new standards in drive engineering. We have found a way to combine

seemingly contrary characteristics into a single solution. This is made possible by radical increase

in integration at all levels, reducing the amount of required materials and thus the overall size, and

enhancing performance with regard to connectivity, dynamics and precision.

Another benefit of the high level of integration is increased system availability, which translates into

increased machine availability. At the same time, this approach reduces the complexity of the

system and simplifies the engineering.

KeDrive D3 meets the challenge of combining state-of

the-art engineering with cost-effectiveness – an attribute

that makes KEBA truly unique.

Compact and powerful multi-axis system

• Drive controller with up to 630 A

• Central power supply units with up to 140 kW nominal power / 240 kW peak power

• High energy efficiency through DC link with active power supply units and

energy storage systems
