Frequency converters are the first choice for controlling electric motors. Customized frequency converters offer great potential, e.g. for cost reduction or for the realization of individual requirements. The existing frequency inverter electronics can also handle tasks of a PLC, for example. Depending on requirements, interfaces, IO’s, housing requirements, safety standards, motor designs and IoT compatibility can be customized. Mounting in a terminal box, fanless housing according to IP 67, performance level e, sensorless control or a battery as a voltage source are just a few requirements that we have already successfully solved.
Please contact us for your customized solution!
Do you have requirements for a motor controller/frequency converted that are not covered by a series product? With our customer-specific modular components, every requirement is solved cost-effectively and with low development times. With your individual solutions you get a product which is exactly tailored to your requirements. You do not pay for any functions you do not need.
Benefit from our experience, our modular offer and the expertise of our employees. We are your reliable full-service provider from development, quality tests, certifications to series production in our in-house production always with the focus on a long product life.
Standard frequency converters cover many, but not all, requirements. Especially in special-purpose machines, mobile systems, or safety-critical applications, customized solutions are crucial for reducing costs, increasing functional integration, and shortening development time.
With a customized motor control system from KNESTEL, you benefit from:
As an experienced development and production partner, KNESTEL offers everything from a single source:
from concept design and hardware development to software programming, testing, certification, and in-house series production. Our focus is on durability, ease of maintenance, and optimal performance. Thanks to our modular system, even complex requirements can be implemented quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
Eine kundenspezifische Motorsteuerung ist eine individuell entwickelte Elektroniklösung zur Ansteuerung elektrischer Motoren.
A customized motor control system is an individually developed electronic solution for controlling electric motors. Unlike standard frequency converters, KNESTEL adapts the function, performance, interfaces, housing, and safety level precisely to the requirements of the respective application. This results in a solution that is technically optimal and economically efficient.
Im Gegensatz zu Standard-Frequenzumrichtern werden bei KNESTEL Funktion, Leistung, Schnittstellen, Gehäuse und Sicherheitslevel exakt an die Anforderungen der jeweiligen Anwendung angepasst. So entsteht eine Lösung, die technisch optimal und wirtschaftlich effizient ist.
Our systems cover a wide range – from direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) motors to synchronous and asynchronous drives and servo drives.
Thanks to modular hardware and software platforms, hybrid or sensorless control systems can also be implemented.
Depending on the application, we implement safety levels up to Performance Level e (PLe) in accordance with ISO 13849. Functional safety concepts in accordance with SIL 2 / SIL 3 can also be integrated – including safe shutdown, monitoring, and communication.
Thanks to flexible interfaces (e.g., CAN, RS485, EtherCAT, or IO-Link), our solutions can be easily integrated into existing control and communication structures.
On request, we can assist you with system integration and software adaptation.
Depending on the project, our customized frequency converters cover power ratings from a few hundred watts to over 100 kW – at voltages of 12 V, 48 V, or 400 V for DC and AC systems. We would be happy to advise you individually on whether your requirements can be implemented!
Our design is based on reusable functional modules—for example, for power supply, control, communication, or safety. This enables us to implement new projects more quickly, shorten development times, and reduce costs without compromising on individuality.
We offer IoT-compatible controllers with integrated data recording, cloud connectivity, wireless networking (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SiL-2 wireless module), and remote maintenance options.
This allows status data to be collected and drive systems to be monitored intelligently.
Our systems are used in the following areas, among others:
