PART 6: Motor & Frequency Converter (Printed version)

In this book (PART 6) we will get familiar with Siemens Frequency Converters (G120). This book describes only the basic principles and how to work with Frequency Convers, how to insert them into a project (Siemens TIA Portal - StartDrive) and how to use them in the PLC program (controlled either via wires or a PN/IE connection).
