CFW500 - NEMA4X (IP66) WASHDOWN DRIVE
Rated for Installation in Direct Sunlight
The WEG CFW500 Wash series is a redesign of our most successful CFW500 series product line. Engineer improvements have produced one of the most compact and full featured washdown drive in the market.
The new version with IP66/NEMA 4X protection rating increases the product robustness, ensuring protection against the ingress of dust and water jets from any direction, which allows its use and installation both indoors and outdoors. The new IP66 models of the CFW500 line have the following characteristics.

Pump Genius
The Pump Genius is a customizable feature of WEG drives that enables your standard CFW500 to become dedicated for pumping systems. It ensures accurate pressure / flow control throughout the processing cycle, starting with raw water and its usage, ending on wastewater treatment. With an easy-to-use programming wizard, Pump Genius helps you to minimize downtime and maximize energy savings. Everything you need is selecting one option that best fits your application:
Simplex
The Pump Genius Simplex software adds ideal features to the VFD for single pump control.
Multipump
Pump Genius Multipump allows driving two or more pumps with only one inverter.
Multiplex
Pump Genius Multiplex permits the VFDs to control, monitor and manage the entire system on their own, eliminating the need of external PLC.
Energy Savings
The use of the CFW500 with the Pump Genius Multipump improves the performance and provides electric energy savings. Using this solution together with WEG W22 Premium motors, and reducing the pump speed even if slightly, it is possible to reduce the electric energy consumption by approximately 15%, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the planet.
Broken Pipe Alarm
Pump Genius detects when the pump is consuming more electric energy than it should, by means of information on the pump load and speed, automatically generating an alarm warning of leaky pipes. In addition, with the monitoring of the system pressure, a clogging condition may be detected by configuring the maximum pressure to trigger the alarm of clogged pipe.
Embedded Safety Functions
(With Optional Module: CFW500-SFY2)
Used to reduce risk and to guarantee the safety of personnel and environment if there is a hazardous event due to a fault in operating machines. The embedded safety functions STO and SS1 provide machine builders a cost-effective solution to design protective measures and reduce the risk from unexpected and hazardous movement in industrial machines and processes.
Advantages
- Safety functions integrated in the CFW500 drive, making easier to comply with the machine and application safety requirements
- Less components, no need for additional wiring, saving space and installation costs
- Easier installation, commissioning and maintenance
- No electromechanical components, meaning faster responses and higher degree of productivity
- Due to the high safety performance level SIL3, the CFW500 with Safety module may avoid the use of external safety relays for cables and emergency pushbuttons monitoring
