System Architecture & Signal Flow
The SP1406 follows a standard AC drive architecture:
- Input Stage: Three-phase AC mains → EMC filter → rectifier bridge → DC bus
- DC Bus: Smoothing capacitor bank with dynamic braking resistor terminal (optional)
- Output Stage: IGBT-based PWM inverter → motor terminals (U/V/W)
- Control Board: DSP-based control with analog I/O (0–10 V, 4–20 mA), digital I/O, relay outputs, and keypad/RS485 interface
- Optional Comms Module: Slot-in fieldbus adapter for PLC/SCADA integration
Signal flow: Speed reference (analog/digital/fieldbus) → DSP control algorithm → PWM gate signals → IGBT switching → variable frequency/voltage output to motor.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the SP1406 compatible with single-phase input?
A: The SP Series is designed for three-phase input. Single-phase operation is not recommended and may void warranty. Confirm input requirements with the SP1406 datasheet.
Q: Can the SP1406 control permanent magnet (PM) motors?
A: Standard SP Series firmware targets AC induction motors. PM motor support depends on firmware version — contact Konmask for confirmation.
Q: What fieldbus protocols are supported?
A: Via optional plug-in modules: PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, Modbus RTU (RS485 native), CANopen, EtherNet/IP. Confirm module availability for SP1406 frame size.
Q: Is a braking resistor included?
A: Dynamic braking transistor is typically built-in; external braking resistor is customer-supplied based on application deceleration requirements.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: Single units available. Volume discounts apply for orders of 5+ units. Contact us for project pricing.
