About the 5RA0100
The 5RA0100 Reliance Electric brushless drives is part of the HR500 series of high performance drives. This AC drive, along with the varying controller models in this series, are able to be customized by both parameter and hardware modifications to function efficiently in a variety of servo applications.
The HR500 drive series and specific drives such as the 5RA0100 are part of a automation family which includes the drives (also called controllers) along with the servo motors and application specific encoders which collectively allow for accurate speed and position regulation.
The 5RA0100 features a number of easily accessible diagnostic LEDs that pertain to the status of the controller in the application. AX Control has skilled technicians who can take information such as the LED diagnostics, manual readings from the drive, and carefully described system configurations and apply that knowledge to troubleshoot remotely or repair the critical issues that customers inevitably experience.
While these diagnostic LEDs can indicate defects with the drive or application settings such as an overload or overheating, they also display to the user that that drive is receiving power and/or in run mode.
One important piece of information to take into account when purchasing a replacement 5RA0100 HR500 drive or when having one repaired is that these very often include an option kit which is purchasing separately and must be used in conjunction with the controller to meet the application’s design. The controller manual most pertinent to solving technical issues, evaluating diagnostic readings, and installing a replacement model is the D5-3040 controller instruction manual.
