Bosch Rexroth has introduced the System200 REFUdrive with SERCOS interface™. The REFU frequency converter uses the SERCOS interface to expand existing options for connection to Profibus DP, Interbus S and CANopen. Output ratings from 1.5 to 600 kW make the converter suitable for all Bosch Rexroth system solutions and allow decentralized drive structures with servo drives and frequency converters.

REFUdrive with SERCOS interface meets SERCOS interface class A conformance standards. The unit's drive functions include speed control, torque and speed regulation.

The System200 comprises a complete modular construction kit of drive and control components that use universal, open standards. These components combine to provide five sector-specific system solutions, including high-productivity machine tools, printing and paper converting machines, packaging and food processing machines, general automation and mounting, handling and body operations for the automotive industry. Complete system solutions are used in more than 1,000 printing machines, several thousand packaging machines and over 90 automotive plants.
