Siemens: Variable Frequency Drives
MICROMASTER MM420

Back to Variable Frequency Drives

The MICROMASTER 420, with its default factory settings and quick commissioning parameter start-up, is ideal for a large range of simple motor control applications. The MICROMASTER 420 can also be used for more advanced motor control applications via its extended, comprehensive parameter list. The MICROMASTER 420 is an excellent choice for both ‘stand-alone’ applications as well as integrated automation solutions.
