 Extended functionality 

Permanent Magnet Motor Control

• Capable of driving different types of motor. A1000 runs not only induction motors, but also synchronous motors with high performance open and closed loop vector control.
• Use an IPM motor to perform position control - without motor feedback.
• Auto-Tuning features optimize drive parameters for operation with induction motors as well as synchronous motors to achieve the highest performance levels possible.

• A1000 is capable of handling momentary power loss with sensorless control for induction motors as well as for synchronous motors.
• A variety of protective designs are available to reinforce the drive against moisture, dust, oil mist, vibration, corrosive sulfur gas, conductive, particles, and other harsh environments.
• A1000 provides Safe Torque Off (STO) functional safety in compliance with EN954-1 safety category 3 stop category 0, EN ISO 13849-1. PLC, IEC/EN61508 SIL2.

• A1000 automatically sets parameters needed for major applications. Selecting the appropriate application optimizes the drive for top performance, while saving time for set up.
• The terminal block´s ability to save parameter setting data makes it easy to get the application back online in the event of a failure requiring drive replacement.
• All standard models are equipped with a Parameter Copy Function that allows parameter settings to be easily copied from the drive or uploaded for quick setup using the operator.

• Yaskawa continues to make applications even smaller by combining the compact designed drive with the light, efficient design of a synchronous motor.
• Use Side-by-Side installation for an even more compact setup.
• Each drive lets the user choose between Normal Duty or Heavy Duty operation. Depending on the application, A1000 can run a motor an entire frame size larger than our previous model.
• Design for 10 years of maintenance-free operation. Cooling fan, capacitors, relays, and IGBTs have been carefully selected and designed for a life expectancy up to ten years.

• Energy-Saving control makes highly efficient operation possible with an induction motor.
• Combining the high efficiency of a synchronous motor along with A1000´s Energy-Saving control capabilities allows for unparalleled energy saving.
• A1000 uses YASKAWA Swing PWM function to suppress electromagnetic and audible motor noise, creating a more peaceful environment.
