AutomationDirect: More WEG CFW500 Washdown Duty AC Drives

AutomationDirect: More WEG CFW500 Washdown Duty AC Drives

January 20, 2026

AutomationDirect has added more WEG CFW500 washdown AC drives that increase the horsepower offering of this series—up to 30 hp for the 460 VAC models and up to 20 hp for the 230 VAC models.

These drives are manufactured by WEG, a well-known and trusted brand in VFDs. CFW500 drives are rated IP66 and NEMA 4X for use in the harshest environments, include a SoftPLC for custom-tailored control schemes, and support several control modes, including scalar V/F and closed-loop flux vector control. 

With the inclusion of these drives, are two new communications modules. These modules provide more networking capabilities, adding dual-port EtherNet/IP (with web server) and PROFINET connection options (dependent on the model chosen).
