WEG CFW100 Micro Drive

Ultra-Compact Speed Control for Fractional Horsepower Motors

The WEG CFW100 packs full-featured variable speed control into the smallest footprint of the CFW drive family. Designed for OEM machinery, HVAC actuators, and small pumping systems, the CFW100 ships with integrated Modbus RTU, DIN-rail or panel mounting, and intuitive programming tools. Combine the drive with WEG geared motors or retrofit existing induction motors to deliver quiet, energy-efficient operation in tight spaces.

Micro Drive Features that Matter

OEM Ready I/O

Six digital inputs, one relay output, and optional analog modules make the CFW100 a turnkey control solution for compact machines.

Embedded Communications

Standard Modbus RTU with auto-baud detection plus USB programming cable support keeps commissioning fast and consistent.

Macro Wizards

Preloaded pump, fan, and conveyor macros walk technicians through the necessary parameters in under five minutes.

Flexible Accessories

Remote keypad, door-mount kits, EMC filters, and braking resistors ship from Gross Automation for a complete, panel-ready solution.

Communication & Expansion Modules

Modbus RTU (Standard)

Native RS-485 port with easy addressing and broadcast support for multi-drive networks.

CANopen

Pluggable module enables PDO mapping and heartbeat monitoring for distributed systems.

DeviceNet

Ideal for Rockwell OEM machines that demand quick integration without custom gateways.

I/O Expansion

Optional module adds two analog inputs and an additional relay for advanced process control.
