The SCM Series offers variable speed drives with reduced size, cost, and complexity. Designed for single-phase 220 V supplies and covering a power range of 1/3 to 3 hp, the units require only a small investment in panel space. The control terminal blocks on drives have 11 terminals to configure input and output logic as well as analog inputs and outputs. Each unit also features an electronic programming module, a programmable device that plugs into the front of the drive and contains the operating parameters of the drive.
