New! Built-In Sway Control

You can automatically benefit from specialty application functions built into our IMPULSE·VG+ Series 5 Variable Frequency Drives at no extra cost. As standard, sway control is integrated into every IMPULSE Series 5 Variable Frequency Drive. This specialty feature, formerly available only as an add-on to a base VFD, prevents damage to the crane structure and equipment and, most importantly, creates a safe working environment for operators.

Safe Lifting

Safe Lifting features are built right in, including Torque Proving, which confirms the motor is providing enough torque to safely lift a load prior to releasing the brake. Torque Limiting prevents the crane from performing a lift that could overload the motor and cause mechanical fatigue. Brake Integrity Check tests the primary and emergency brakes to ensure they are mechanically capable of holding the load.

New! High-Resolution Keypad

The new keypad makes reading diagnostics even easier. We restructured parameter menus to ensure you have access to the settings that best match your application needs without having to navigate through nonessentials.

New! Date & Time Stamps

With new date and time stamps, now you can quickly identify fault events, determine corrective actions, and return your equipment to operation faster.

Ultra-Lift
Gets your VFD up and running quickly. X-Press Programming automatically configures several commonly used parameters and features when a control method, motion, or speed reference is selected.

New! Quick Part Replacements

Spare parts are easier to replace than ever. Memory has been removed from the terminal board, so replacements are quick and easy.

Safe Torque Off

With SIL3 rating, provides a redundant hardware safety circuit that guarantees motor and brake power are removed when an E-STOP switch or safety controller opens the circuit, eliminating the need for external disconnects.

Anti-Shock

Automatically stabilizes loads by detecting and minimizing rapid increases in hoist motor torque, thus reducing the potential for crane damage caused by operator induced load shock.

Enhanced Connectivity and Diagnostics
Whether you have a single crane or multiple cranes in difficult-to-reach locations, IMPULSE®•Link 5 can integrate with these new VFDs, providing easy setup and access to monitoring and diagnostics.

Load Check

This feature ensures continuous detection of hoist overload conditions, halting upward motion and only allowing the load to be lowered. Load Check monitors the hook load, eliminating the need for load cells in many applications.

Ambient Operating Temperature

Series 5 VFDs safely operate in temperatures from 14° to 140°F (-10° to 60°C), making them ideal for a wide range of applications.

New! Low Voltage Commissioning

With a new built-in USB port, you can directly connect to a PC to configure and adjust parameters. Need to power up the keypad? Only 24 VDC is needed. No PPE required.
