Power section for driving an electric drive, a drive control based thereon, and a method for networking a control unit with one or more power sections

摘要

By distributing the intelligence of a drive between a control unit and one or more intelligent power sections by using a high-power standardized serial interface for connecting these components, it is possible as a result to identify different power components with their performance data, and also to diagnose them. Furthermore, independent innovations of the components are possible without having corresponding effects on the other components.
