Main Features and Advantages
Sensorless Vector Control as Standard:
The 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN runs Rockwell’s sensorless vector algorithm, which delivers far better low-speed torque and speed regulation than plain V/Hz without the cost and wiring of an encoder. Where an application demands full torque at zero speed, the drive accepts an encoder feedback card and runs in closed loop. Auto-tuning lets the drive measure the connected motor and set its own model, removing much of the guesswork from commissioning.
Protection Logic That Prevents Trips:
Proactive current limit, overcurrent stall, and overvoltage stall allow the 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN to ride through momentary disturbances by stretching the acceleration or deceleration ramp instead of faulting. On a conveyor that hits a jam, or a pump that sees a sudden head change, this is the difference between a nuisance stop and continuing production.
Built-in Process PI Controller:
A built-in PI controller means a pump or fan loop can be closed on pressure or flow directly inside the 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN, with no separate loop controller in the panel. Add the auto-economiser for variable-torque loads, flying start for fans that are still windmilling, three skip frequencies to avoid mechanical resonance, seven preset speeds, S-curve ramps, slip compensation, and droop — and a large fraction of typical application logic is already inside the drive.
Plain-Language Diagnostics:
The drive retains the last four faults in memory and displays them as plain-language messages on the alphanumeric EN keypad. A technician arriving at 02:00 can see what happened without a laptop, reducing diagnostic time and getting the line back into production faster.
SCANport and Common Control Interface:
SCANport gives the 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN a common interface to DeviceNet, ControlNet, Profibus DP, and Remote I/O through plug-in modules. The same control interface is shared across the 1336 family, which shortens training for sites running a mixed population of drives and simplifies spare-parts management.
