Product Description
The Cutler-Hammer
®
SPX9000 Series
Adjustable Frequency Drives from
Eaton’s electrical business are specifi-
cally designed for high performance
applications. Equipped with high pro-
cessing power, the SPX9000 can use
information from an encoder or a
resolver in order to provide very pre-
cise motor control. Sensorless vector
and simple frequency control are
also supported. Typical applications
requiring high performance are:
master-slave drives, positioning
applications, winder tension control
and synchronization.
The core of the SPX9000 is a fast micro-
processor, providing high dynamic
performance for applications where
good motor handling and reliability
are required. It can be used both in
open loop applications as well as in
applications requiring encoder
feedback.
The SPX9000 supports fast drive-to-
drive communication. It also offers an
integrated data logger functionality for
analysis of dynamic events without the
need of additional hardware. Simulta-
neous fast monitoring of several
drives can be done by using the
9000Xdrive tool and CAN communica-
tion. In applications where reliability
and quality are essential for high-
performance, the Cutler-Hammer
SPX9000 is the logical choice.
The 9000X Family of Drives includes
HVX9000, SVX9000, SLX9000 and
SPX9000. 9000X Series drive ratings
are rated for either high overload (I
H
)
or low overload (I
L
). I
L
indicates 110%
overload capacity for 1 minute out
of 10 minutes. I
H
indicates 150%
overload capacity for 1 minute out
of 10 minutes.
