- Cost-Effective: It provided a solution that offered many advanced features at a reasonable price point, without excessive, unneeded functions.
- Integrated Protection: Features built-in motor overload protection, short circuit, earth fault, and overvoltage protection, reducing the need for additional hardware.
- Flexible Mounting: Standard IP20 enclosure with options for through-hole mounting to achieve IP65 in the control cabinet, allowing for better thermal management.
Product Status
The Lenze SMD series is now a discontinued/superseded product line. Lenze recommends migrating to newer drives like the i510 protec and i550 protec series for current projects and replacements.
For documentation or support on existing units, you can refer to manuals such as the Lenze SMD Basic Manual or visit the official Lenze website for migration information.
