The world's most reliable inverter
Omron-Yaskawa presents the V1000 compact inverter series - with the claim that it is the world's most dependable inverter, representing the pinnacle of their highly successful inverter family
With the V1000, Omron-Yaskawa claims every aspect of inverter design has been challenged to produce an inverter which delivers on three core promises - a ten year design lifetime, only a one in 10,000 field failure rate and a 100 per cent expectation match for machine builders and end users Rated to 15KW, this new design claims to be the smallest inverter in the world, achieving a 40 per cent space reduction compared to the previous inverter series

Omron CelciuXdeg multi-zone temperature controller
Omron has introduced a modular, multi-loop temperature controller that can connect directly to a Human Machine Interface (HMI) and to any Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
Processing is four times faster due to new high performance CPUs.
Reliability is increased through halving the number of mechanical components and tackling heat dissipation using a new hybrid heat sink design.
Performance is also enhanced through an option of increasing output current when moving down in carrier frequency.

Omron, a global leader in industrial automation, has introduced the first I/O (input/output) modules for CompoNet - a new Open DeviceNet Vendors Association compliant control network
The V1000 can also control induction motors and synchronous motors, the latter technology becoming more popular due to energy and space saving benefits.
Calling on the extensive Omron-Yaskawa experience of collaboration with machine builders, the compact V1000 is quick and simple to install, allowing side-by-side installation.
Further benefits for the user include screw-less terminals and an auto-tuning system that requires little or no expert knowledge from the user.
Once the V1000 has been set, it will save control parameters to its control terminal board memory.
If a problem develops, it is a simple process to insert the terminal board into a new inverter and it will be immediately updated with the saved settings, ensuring downtime is kept to a minimum.
The V1000 is also available with a 24 Vdc power supply to keep the CPU running in a power-down situation.
Intelligent built-in pre-maintenance functions calculate the condition of the inverter to advise on replacement based on factors such as load stress, temperature and hours in service.
To cater for a growing market requirement, V1000 incorporates dual safety inputs (to EN954-1 Cat 3) for easy integration into a safety controller.
A version of V1000 is available with built-in EMC filter reducing the need for separate filter installation.
The V1000 is compatible for use on DeviceNet, Profibus-DP, CANopen and CompoNet networks using communication cards, allowing the user to integrate the V1000 into the majority of existing or planned systems.
By using communications to the inverters, a user can obtain a wealth of data from the connected devices, even remotely, providing valuable information on machine status.
Robert Brooks, product marketing manager for drives, Omron Electronics (UK), commented: "Omron-Yaskawa has left no stone unturned with the V1000, tackling every aspect of inverter design.
We think we have set the barrier at a high level to deliver a general purpose inverter that ticks so many boxes, and more besides".
