Why Buy Brushless?
Size: Smaller motor than any other available technology
Efficiency: The highest efficiency technology available for variable speed
Performance: The highest performance available from production motors and drives
Speed Accuracy: The highest accuracy and smoothness available in variable speed motors and drives
Cost: In most cases, it costs the same or less than other variable speed choices like DC drives or AC vector. And that's before you figure in the lower operating costs and the higher process throughput.

Using the PC based Windows setup tool (provided standard), is as easy as point and click. It takes a simple RS422/RS485 adapter to connect a PC, and then full file upload, download, and edit is available. Of course, setup can be done with the standard keypad as well, without having to use a PC.
If you buy a drive/motor package, the drive comes completely set up and ready to run. No programming or tuning necessary!
