IoT / Industry 4.0 Ready-
            High Performance Inverter

The AS3 is Toshiba’s latest high performance inverter drive featuring state-of-the-art motor control technology and enhanced communication. With built-in Ethernet communication, the AS3 meets all the requirements of modern automation systems for evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) / Industry 4.0. Powered by dedicated high speed processor and network communications, users can easily access and monitor real-time data for analysis and processing to maximize system performance.

• 150% for 60 seconds (at HD Heavy Duty Rating)
• 120% for 60 seconds (at ND Normal Duty Rating)

• The VF-AS3 has embedded dual Ethernet port for real-time communication. Therefore the VF-AS3 can be directly integrated into various IoT or plant & process control systems through connection to network or internet.
  
  
• With the AS3's built-in web server, the drive's status and operting conditions information can be easily accessed from a standard web browser. With network communications the AS3 can be monitored and controlled remotely from a PC, smartphone, or tablet devices.

• The AS3's operating panel can be detached from the drive and mounted remotely on external control consoles, cabinet doors etc.
  
  
• Operating panel with touch wheel control prevents dust and water penetration. IP65 rated mounting kit also available.
  

• Wide, multi-language LCD display with detailed decription of parameters. Backlight turns red to easily recognize fault condition.

• In the event of drive fault, VF-AS3 displays the QR Code®, which will provide immediate access to website for support and maintenance. Video guidance is available for installation, setup and maintenance
  

• Built-in DC Link reactor suppresses harmonic current and improves power factor, compliant with IEC61000-3 harmonic standards without external filter.
  
  
• Built-in EMC filter suppresses high frequency noise to prevent interference affecting sensitive peripheral devices. The AS3 complies with EMC directive IEC61800-3 Category C2/C3.
  
  
• Enhanced environment resistance - The AS3 can be operated at ambient temperature from -15 to 60°C. The lifetime of fans and electrolytic capacitors used in AS3 are designed be over 10 years.
  

• Single coltroller architecture and dedicated Ethernet processor provides high speed response
  
  
• Integrated "My Function" for logic type PLC programming with extended logic functions, arithmetic operations and program steps.

• VF-AS3 has four independent PID controllers built-in: two for drives (motors) and other two for external devices such as heaters and valves.
  
  
• Function sensor feedback for rotary encoders or resolvers. Built-in position control with Point to Point, Pulse input and Orientation control

• Embedded real-time clock for scheduled operation and fault/trip logging. Users can create a schedule for certain operations to be performed using AS3's calendar function.

• The calendar function includes following settings:
  - Present time setting: Year, Month, Date, Hour, Minute
  - Time adjustment through network communication
  - Time zone with daylight saving time
  - 4 start time and 4 stop time
  - Holiday setting
  

• Multi pump control for maximum 10 pumps with pump control sequence setting. The multi-pump control scheme not only saves energy and cost, but also reduces downtime
  
  
• The PID functions include temperature or pressure control of fan and pump, speed control of a winder, stop position control, etc.
  
  
• With calendar function, pump motor operation time can be scheduled and equally shared across multiple pumps
  

• The AS3 can be connected with various devices through local area network, wireless network, and the Internet.
  
• Real-time data (such as power, operating frequency etc...) collected from the AS3 through network communication can be analyzed to optimize system efficiency
  
• The sensors and devices connected to the AS3 can also be monitored through network communication.
• The AS3 This IoT-Ready function increase productivity and reduce total cost.

• The starting torque with sensor-less vector control is 200% with 0.3Hz or more. The AS3 achieves high starting torque and high accuracy regenerative torque at low frequency.
  
  
• PM motor drive with sensor vector control for 200% torque at zero velocity, speed control range of 1:1500, and high speed response frequencies of 100Hz.
  

• STO (Safe Torque Off) as standard function to cut off output in an emergency. The STO function brings the machine safely into a no-torque state and prevents it from starting accidentally. Complies with safety standard IEC 61800-5-2 and also achieves SIL3 level in IEC 61508 : 2010.

• Compliance with global standards including CE, CSA , UL and TUV.
  
  
• Compliance with the European RoHS Directive.
