Toshiba Explore the Reliability and Configurability of the Q9 Drive

Reliable & Configurable

Reliable

Toshiba has manufactured pulse-width modulated drives since 1981 and is one of the few companies that manufactures both motors and drives in the same facility. Because of this, Toshiba has the knowledge to develop and manufacture the most powerful, efficient, and motor- friendly adjustable speed drives available.

Toshiba produces one of the most reliable and rugged adjustable speed drives in the industry. Users can rely on Toshiba drives working for years beyond their warranty.

The Q9 is no exception — it is built to last. Toshiba uses oversized transistors and heavy-duty DC bus capacitors to extend the drive’s life. The Q9 is listed at 100,000 AIC interrupting capacity. The drive is also designed to operate in environments from -10˚ to 40˚C at elevations up to 3,300 feet.

Integrated Enclosure

The Q9 is not only a monster in durability and dependability, but also simple to use. The electronic operator interface (EOI), with its LCD display and simple keypad layout, allows for quick and easy menu and parameter navigation. Toshiba even provides optional Windows®-based software to help with Q9 programming and monitoring.

With eight digital inputs, three digital outputs, three analog inputs, two analog outputs, EOI, and various communication protocol options, the Q9 allows for flexibility in controlling and monitoring the drive.

My Function is a Q9 feature that allows the user to access built-in PLC-type logic. My Function provides basic logic programming without the need for an external PLC.
