Bonfiglioli ACT 201-05 FA Frequency Inverter

Overview

The Bonfiglioli ACT 201-05 FA is a compact high-performance frequency inverter belonging to the Bonfiglioli Vectron Active ACT201 series. The ACT 201-05 FA is rated 0.55 kW for 200–240 VAC single‑phase or three‑phase supply, designed for asynchronous motor speed and torque control in industrial automation, conveyor lines, packaging machines and process skids. It supports both sensorless vector control and closed‑loop vector control with HTL encoder feedback. This unit integrates a dynamic braking chopper, onboard VPLC logic functions and standard fieldbus expansion options. The part number 503204000 is the factory order code for this configured variant.

Features

Supports open‑loop sensorless vector control and closed‑loop vector control via HTL encoder interface. Built‑in dynamic braking chopper for fast stop and deceleration control. Integrated VPLC programmable logic with timer, counter and motion function blocks. Modular expansion architecture for I/O extension cards and fieldbus modules including CANopen, PROFIBUS and Modbus. Programmable analog and digital terminals, relay output and motor PTC temperature monitoring. DC link sharing capability for multi‑drive common DC bus systems. Output frequency range up to 599 Hz for high‑speed spindle applications. IP20 enclosure, plug‑gable control and power terminals for convenient commissioning and replacement. Compliant with UL508c, CE, EN61800‑3 and EMC requirements for industrial cabinet installation.

Specs

Device Type: Frequency Inverter Model: Bonfiglioli ACT 201-05 FA Order Code: 503204000 Brand: Bonfiglioli (Vectron) Series: Active ACT201 Rated power: 0.55 kW Supply voltage: 200–240 VAC, single / three phase Output frequency: 0–599 Hz Control modes: V/F, sensorless vector, closed‑loop vector with HTL encoder Internal function: Dynamic brake chopper, VPLC, motor temperature monitoring Protection class: IP20 Software tool: VPlus for parameter setup and project download Status: Original Bonfiglioli drive spare part

Principle

The Bonfiglioli ACT 201-05 FA converts fixed AC mains supply into variable‑frequency and variable‑voltage output to drive induction motors. The internal control core calculates motor flux and torque according to the selected control mode. It processes analog setpoints, digital run commands and encoder feedback signals, then adjusts the PWM output. The embedded VPLC executes local logic and sequencing, while the braking chopper absorbs regenerative energy during rapid deceleration.

Applications

The Bonfiglioli ACT 201-05 FA is widely used for speed regulation of conveyors, packaging skids, pumps, fans and small handling axes. The ACT 201-05 FA 503204000 is stocked as spare replacement for existing Bonfiglioli Vectron drive loops.
