Indramat feed converters were widely used in the 1970s and 1980s. These were the first systems that made it possible to put together a set of converters individually with a central power supply and special feed converters . For this purpose, the feed converters could be adapted to the individual Indramat motors using programming modules, which made commissioning much easier.
