no other compact drive fitting a plug-in option card. With a 19200 Kbaud

works faster RS 485 serial comms capability as standard,

The exciting and special this allows simple and fast connectivity

feature of the E500 is its to other manufacturers’ equipment in

‘built-in’ communications. existing plants.

This drive is one of the first in Connectivity is made even simpler

the market place to have the using Mx500 software. This is Windows-

capability to connect to any of based software which enables communication

3 open fieldbuses (DeviceNet, and control between any Mitsubishi 500 Series

Profibus DP and inverter, from setting parameters automatically to

CC-Link) simply by diagnostics functions.

 Yet again Mitsubishi Electric has produced

a thoroughbred drive with unrivalled performance.

It is not just the functionality of the E500 range that

is amazing, it’s also the way Mitsubishi has packed

it all into such small frame-sizes. Quite simply, this new

breed of compact drives brings you more benefits than ever before.

E500 is set to be a
winner in its class

a big appetite for hard work

However, don’t be fooled by the small size – these drives can

tackle the most demanding work load. The flexible, versatile and

communication capabilities of the E500 range offer greater speed

of set up, greater control, and the ability to easily integrate into a huge range of applications – from food to

pharmaceuticals, elevators to HVAC.
