Respondor 9000 Drive

Respondor 9000 Adjustable Frequency Drives for Crane Control

The Respondor 9000 series are the result of more than 90 years of crane control experience in the primary metals industry.

Standard crane software, specifically written for crane applications, is accessible with the industry's easiest-to-use, fully programmable keypad featuring a multi-line English language display. With the keypad on the controller or remotely mounted, you can program or monitor crane parameters.

With the optional Graphic Control Panel one can view multiple functions on the 64 x 128 pixel screen. For instance, users may display and monitor a wide range of parameters simultaneously such as motor current, output frequency, and output voltage or view trending graphs at intervals of 30 seconds to eight hours. The built-in upload/download feature allows users to transfer parameter sets from one drive to another simply by attaching it to a different drive.

Operator Interfaces include stepless, multi-step, 3 contact ramp & hold, 2 contact ramp & hold, master switches, pendants, radio control or direct interface to PC and PLC ports. The Serial Interface Option allows two-way communication between several drives and PC, PLC, radio control or Eaton's Cutler-Hammer PanelMate products.

Respondor drives provide precise hook control with constant torque, user selectable constant horsepower operation, dynamic braking and optional line regeneration. With a 1000 to 1 Speed Range and speed error less than 0.01% regulation no load to full load with encoder, Respondor Series AF Drives provide superior speed regulation.

The Respondor 9000 offers a complete line with drives available up to 1100 HP. The drives share common hardware with the Eaton's Cutler-Hammer SV9000 industrial drive. Thus, users of both drives can take advantage of stocking and renewal parts synergies.
