LA500
AC microdrives for lift applications
Does your lift need a new drive?
We have the perfect fit. Our LA500 lift drive comes with integrated safety features, highest ride comfort and outstanding reliability. Installing LA500 to your lift adds sustainability while saving you time and energy.
Simplified system integration
LA500 drives are designed to be easily integrated into lift systems. Embedded safety functions, integrated filters and braking choppers reduce the number of components in the control panel, which does not only reduce the space required but also increases system reliability.
Fast installation and setup
A highly flexible interface allows easy integration with most any lift controller. Easy wiring and smart functions for completing a basic setup in a couple of minutes minimize the time and cost involved in the commissioning of your lift.
Highest ride comfort
With precise motor control and high starting torque, flexibly configurable ride curves and integrated brake control logic, the LA500 provides the key to a smooth ride and accurate landing.
Sustainable systems
Designed for 10 years of operation without maintenance, our LA500 drives are built to perform reliably for a long time. The robust design featuring coated PCBs allows operation in 50 °C without derating, while integrated service lifetime prediction prevents sudden failures and downtime.
LA500 – flexibility, ease of use, and a sustainable design offer the best value proposition for your lift application.
Makes life easier
The LA500 drive comes with value-adding functions and smart features which offer benefits throughout the entire life cycle of a machine or installation. No matter if it is drive selection, through design, installation, start up or troubleshooting, the LA500 makes life easy.
Cooling fans run only when needed. Contamination is minimized while service intervals can be prolonged.
The bright LED display and tactile buttons make menu navigation easy and intuitive. The removable keypad can serve as a parameter backup or copy unit.
Menus and parameters are arranged and named as with any other Yaskawa drive, thus reducing training expenses.
Easily connect to your PC or mobile device for programming, monitoring or troubleshooting the LA500.
The LA500 can be operated at altitudes of up to 4000 m and in high-temperature environments of up to 60°C. Coated PCBs protect the drive against dust and mist.
10-year maintenance-free design provides hassle-free long term operation.
Easily create long-lasting, reliable connections without the need for re-tightening.
Handle regenerative energy with a minimal number of external parts.
Connect main circuit and motor cables in shortest time without removing any covers.
Easy compliance with global standards and simplified machine design due to a reduced number of parts.
Internal power supply delivers an extra 150 mA for use with external sensors, thus eliminating the need for a separate power supply.
Simplify your wiring and keep your control system operational, even during standby or power outages.
Service life indicators for main components prevent production losses due to sudden breakdowns.
LCD keypad (optional)
Additional functionality
LA500 drives can be programmed and operated with an external high-resolution graphical keypad. Support for 9 languages, a Setup Wizard, and the intuitive full text menu structure simplify drive setup and save valuable time.
- Copy function for 4 sets of parameters
- Data logging on Micro-SD card
- Real-time clock
- Available with Bluetooth for connecting a mobile device
- Automatic backup function
- Standard RJ45 cable connection
Setup wizard
The Setup Wizard reduces the setup time to just a couple of minutes. It guides the user through the basic setup using simple questions which do not require any knowledge of drive parameters, thus saving valuable time.
Relaxing in daily use and installation
Enjoy a smooth and comfortable ride of your lift. The excellent motor control of the the LA500 and the integrated brake control sequence guarantee for soft changes in speed and accurate landing.
Highest comfort
Ride profiles with individual jerk setting for each speed change and different selectable acceleration/deceleration ramps allow fine tuning for a smooth and shockless ride.
The accurate leveling control of LA500 makes floor and cabin ground even under any load condition, thus avoiding dangerous traps.
The flexible brake control sequence optimizes the start and stop for soft movement and accurate landing.
- Adjustable speed profiles with individual jerk settings
- Accurate leveling independent of load
- Short floor management
- Easy to tune brake sequence for smooth ride and best landing
- Evacuation in light direction for smallest possible UPS/battery
- Optional speed feedback option card for the connection of a TTL encoder
Makes life easy
The integrated EMC filter and braking chopper make installation faster, reduce wiring, save space and time. Intuitive menus with lift terminology (terms and units on LC display) simplify the setup procedure. Operate the lift without motor contactors - just make use of the Safe Torque Off function (STO, SIL3) of the LA500. Avoiding additional contactors also reduce the space required,
wiring effort and eliminates switching noise.
- Integrated EMC filter with class C2 for EN12015 compliance
- Integrated braking chopper
- Integrated SIL3 STO function for operation without motor contactors
- Flexible control sequence to work with almost any controller
- Setup in lift terminology and units
- Automatic motor data tuning in stand still condition without removing ropes
Sustainable
With it's innovative design the LA500 paves the way to sustainable lift system. The LA500 is designed with durability in mind. It can stand more than 2.5 million full load starts while components are selected to provide up to 10 years operation free of maintenance.
The drive's cooling fans are temperature controlled and only run when really required. This avoids pollution by twirling dust inside the panel, improves reliability, and minimizes the need for regular maintenance.
LA500 is not only reliable, it also helps to make your lift green. The very low stand-by power consumption of only approx. 10 W saves energy and helps to achieve Class 1 rating in terms of efficiency for your elevator (according to ISO 25745-2; max 50 W).
- Long lasting design
- Maintenance free
- Energy saving by super low stand-by consumption
