VFD Replacement Options

Due to the microchip shortage in version 1.60 of the Retro C software Enventek has significate changes in order to support multiple types of VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives). This comes at a time when our main supplier of VFD’s retired a product and new products are hard to get. In 2022 Enventek has worked to keep your Retro C products running by providing support for multiple drives in the same location. Current drives supported are listed below.

New models supported

GS10 Series Drives

GS20 Series Drives

Weg CFW100 Series Drives

Weg CFW300 Series Drives

Weg CFW500 Series Drives

FMX Series Drives

Old models supported

GS1 Series Drives — Retired

GS2 Series Drives — Retired

GS3 Series Drives — Retired

All of these drives may require different mounting and fuses however the wires should stay the same. The Blade motors require STO Modules for safety and all drives require Modbus communication which on the CFW100 and 300 series is an extra module.

Note in order to change drive versions at this time you will need to contact Enventek Technical support.
