If you are looking for a compact frequency inverter for driving asynchronous motors and need real Modbus RTU, vector control and an integrated brake chopper, the Kinco KC100 offers a cost-effective solution without compromises on functionality or reliability. With power ratings from 0.4 to 5.5 kW, the KC100 covers most standard applications in mechanical engineering and automation — single-phase 230 V or three-phase 400 V.
🏭 Typical Applications
Pumps & fans with PID control: The integrated PID controller enables simple pressure regulation, flow control or temperature management — without external controllers. Frequency setpoint via analog input 0–10 V or 0–20 mA.
Conveyor technology and series machines: The S-curve ramp provides smooth acceleration and deceleration — ideal for positioning tasks or high-inertia loads such as conveyor belts and winding drives.
Integration into Modbus RTU networks: Unlike its predecessor CV20, the KC100 uses real Modbus RTU (RS-485) with standard function codes — it integrates seamlessly into existing PLC architectures and can be parameterized via a higher-level controller.
Systems with unstable mains voltage: The AVR voltage regulation actively compensates for mains fluctuations — useful in industrial networks with poor power quality or unstable supply.
⚙️ Improvements Over the CV20 Predecessor
Kinco developed the KC100 (introduced 2024) as a targeted upgrade to the CV20 series, passing on cost reductions in power electronics directly to customers:
AVR voltage regulation for active compensation of mains voltage fluctuations
Vector control (SVC) — 150% rated torque from 0.5 Hz, speed control range 1:200
S-curve ramp for smooth acceleration and deceleration, four ramp groups selectable
Integrated brake chopper for braking high-inertia loads (external braking resistor connectable)
Autotuning of motor parameters for improved running smoothness
Speed tracking — detects current motor speed and enables flying start from the actual speed
Power dip ride-through (Instantaneous Non-Stop) — during a mains dip, the drive feeds back kinetic motor energy to maintain operation briefly without tripping
Wave-by-wave current limiting — limits current pulse-by-pulse during sudden load spikes, preventing nuisance trips without requiring intervention from the higher-level controller
Real Modbus RTU (RS-485) with standard function codes — the CV20 used proprietary function code 41 for permanent parameterization
Maximum frequency 600 Hz for high-speed applications
Demand-controlled fan speed instead of continuous operation — extends fan service life
Spring-clamp terminals on the I/O terminal for fast wiring in series production
Extension port (CN2) for external operator panel — cable up to 10 m, parameter copy between drives supported
The following functions are also available (as with the CV20):
Frequency setpoint via frequency table with 8 fixed values using 3 digital inputs
Frequency setpoint via analog input 0–10 V and 0–20 mA
Frequency setpoint via Modbus RTU and integrated PID controller
Frequency setpoint via pulse input up to 50 kHz
⚠️ Known Limitations
No integrated EMC filter: An external EMC filter is required for CE-compliant operation in European installations. Suitable filters for each model are available separately.
🔌 Connections & I/O
4 digital inputs (DI1–DI4): NPN/PNP compatible, active level 9–30 V. DI1–DI3 are standard inputs; DI4 can also be used as a high-speed pulse input up to 50 kHz.
1 analog input (AI): 0–10 V or 0–20 mA, switchable via DIP switch. Internal 10 V reference voltage (+10V terminal) available.
1 digital output (DO): Open-collector, pulse output up to 50 kHz. Can output physical quantities such as set frequency or output frequency.
1 analog output (AO): 0–10 V or 0–20 mA, switchable via DIP switch.
1 relay output (TA/TB/TC): Normally open (TA–TC) and normally closed (TA–TB), switching capacity 3 A / 250 V AC or 1 A / 30 V DC.
RS-485 (Modbus RTU): Client/Server for parameterization and control via PLC or PC.
Extension port (CN2): For external NETKEY operator panel with up to 10 m cable length and parameter copy function.
🔧 Ratings & Installation
Protection class IP20, wall-mounted. Housing width from 65 mm — independent air duct separates cooling air from electronics, enabling 20% more compact design compared to the previous generation.
Overload capacity: 150% rated current for 60 s, 180% for 3 s — sufficient for heavy starting loads and short peak demands.
Operating temperature: −10 °C to +50 °C (derate above +40 °C: 1% per 100 m altitude or per degree). Storage temperature: −25 °C to +70 °C.
Minimum clearances: 100 mm above and below, 25 mm left and right for adequate ventilation.
Weight: 0.85 kg (single-phase 0.4–1.5 kW) · 0.90 kg (three-phase 0.75–1.5 kW) · 1.20 kg (single-phase 1.5–2.2 kW) · 1.30 kg (three-phase 2.2–5.5 kW).
