What is frequency drive commissioning and do I really need it?

At Dynomax, frequency drive commissioning is a service we offer where our electrical engineers “set up” the drive and all it’s menus and settings so that is will work as expected when you get it in your facility.  You can think of it as plug and play.  If the drive was to arrive without being commissioned you would need someone on your end to program all the settings and menus at that time.

When we perform the commissioning we also know that everything will be working and tested to it’s maximum speed prior to leaving our facility.  If you decide to commission the drive on your own we still test the spindle, but we would use our drives with our settings and of course can’t guarantee that it will work that way in your plant because we wouldn’t be able to say how your drive was set up.

Some drives are more complicated and have more potential pitfalls than others, which is why our price (and time) can vary for commissioning services.
