NORDAC ON/ON+: Decentralised frequency inverter with integrated Ethernet interface
Beverage bottling is an area where the demand for decentralised drive technology is on the rise. NORD offers an optimal solution with the smart NORDAC ON/ON+ frequency inverter. NORDAC ON/ON+ covers power ranges up to 2.2 kW and is characterised by an integrated Ethernet interface (ProfiNET, EtherNET IP and EtherCAT can be set per parameter), full plug-in capability and a very compact design. Decentralised inverters are ideally suited for integration into bottling and conveyor systems and thus save space as well the extensive motor cable wiring required for centralised frequency inverters.

nsd tupH surface treatment: An alternative to stainless steel
The nsd tupH surface treatment is available for DuoDrive as well as for NORDAC ON/ON+. Thanks to a special method, the surface is made corrosion-resistant and harder and makes aluminium behave like stainless steel with regard to corrosion protection. This is not a coating, but a surface treatment that creates a protective layer which is permanently bonded to the substrate material. So nothing can detach or flake off. The drives are easy to clean and largely resistant to acids and alkalis. It is even possible to use high-pressure cleaners or apply aggressive media. nsd tupH treatment is available for most of NORD modular drive systems made from aluminium.
