Biodyn is the trade name for the Schindler frequency converter Schindler itself designates DR VCB, the smaller of a modernisation pair with the DR VAB and positioned for residential and small commercial buildings.
The DR VCB is rated for car speeds up to 1.75 m/s and up to 180 trips per hour, with levelling accuracy of plus or minus 10 mm in open loop and plus or minus 5 mm in closed loop. Offering both modes separates it from the DR VAB, which is closed loop only. The CO BX controller and DR SGB 142 machine are the new-equipment pairings, and the converter also fits many existing controllers and machines.
No power rating in kW, kVA or amperes is published, so the trade sizes Biodyn 9 through 42 have no published meaning. Identification runs off the rating plate, which carries the DR VCB type code and an eight-digit Schindler ID; the word Biodyn may not be on it at all.
