Anyone Ever Use a Burr Brown TM8400? These are programmable interfaces probably from the early 80's. These are dinosaurs but I have a few still in use. I just wish I had a TM8400 manual.

Overall I'm looking for programming info, setup, and troubleshooting. A complete Burr Brown TM8400 manual would be nice.

Thanks!

Thanks, that's what I was looking for! Do you maybe also have a printable AC10 fault list?

Anyone have a list of Parker AC10 Faults available? I have a couple of these Parker AC10 inverters here. If you can post or put up a pdf that would be great. Thanks!

Lovato Drive Reviews

Lovato drives are manufactured over in Italy. The company itself has been around for almost a hundred years although I'm not sure how long they have been making the motor control products. I have encounter Lovato variable speed drives in various machinery over the years but not owned any in our machines. They look similar to other drive products out there but I can't provide a thorough review since I haven't had to deal with the maintenance of them.

V & T Drive Reviews

We recently purchased a paper shear with a V&T drive installed. I did not have to do the V&T drive setup so I can't vouch for ease of programming and the machine is quite new so we haven't seen any kind of alarm or fault yet. The test of time is the best review if I could tell you it has been running flawlessly for years but I can't. So far so good is all I can say in terms of performance.

As for the company here's what I found:

QuoteAs a leading and recognized brand of drive, control & power, V&T Eco Drive drives are popularly accepted in Southeast Asia, Middle East, Eastern Asia, Africa, Southern Europe, Northern Europe, Western Europe, South Asia, Oceania, South America, Eastern Europe, North America, Central America, Latin America, South America...

They are manufacturers of drive and power solutions including AC/DC drives, VFD, VSD, soft starters, motor inverters, PLC's and HMI. The country code on their phone number indicates the company is located in the People's Republic of China.

Magnetek Drive Reviews

I have used 2 different Magnetek drives over the years, both were reliable and well made. As for programming, they were supplied with our equipment so I don't have a good fell for Magnetek drive setup procedures.

Incidently, one drive was an AC drive and one was feeding a DC motor but the catalog numbers are not handy at the moment. That's about all I can offer for a Magnetek drive review.

Breuer Drive Reviews

I have quite of bit of experience working for a number of companies and haven't used or seen a Breuer drive. Is this a new drive manufacturer? or a company that has faded away? Were these Breuer AC drives? or DC drives? Sorry, all I have is questions, no real answers.
