Shenzhen Simphoenix Electric Technology Co., Ltd.
SIMPHOENIX is Shenzhen Sifang Electric's automation brand, established in 2004. Its July 2025 brochure describes two manufacturing phases at Wanwei Technology Park in Huizhou, bringing PCBA production, testing and coating together. A published V560 wire-drawing application shows how PLC speed calculations and local dancer feedback divide the control work; the E580 catalogue separately documents G/P duty ratings and frame-specific expansion cards.

Match the brand to the legal entity
The Chinese company name is 深圳市四方电气技术有限公司. The Shenzhen municipal review list contains that exact name, while the official overview identifies 万维电气（惠州）有限公司 as its wholly owned subsidiary. The company's product work covers inverters, servo drives, permanent-magnet motors, PLCs and HMIs. Retain the actual supplying entity on an order rather than relying on the translated brand alone.[1][5]
The Huizhou park has a stated division between smaller drives, servos and high-power products.
The July 2025 brochure goes beyond giving a factory address: it explains the two phases and their production activities.
Two phases with different production scope
Wanwei Technology Park is in Huizhou's Zhongkai high-tech district. The brochure says phase one mainly produces small- and medium-power inverters and servo products, while phase two mainly serves high-power products; it states that both phases are in use. The published Huizhou address is 23 Songbailing Avenue. The Shenzhen corporate address is separately given as Building A, Huichao Industrial Area, Gushu Second Road, Xixiang, Bao'an.[2]
PCBA, assembly and materials handling
The brochure describes bringing previously outsourced SMT and DIP work into a PCBA workshop that combines production, testing and coating. It also shows automated production lines using self-developed test fixtures and a digital warehousing/logistics operation. These are specific manufacturing activities; the document's planned annual capacity is not used here as a claim of measured shipments or output.[2]
The production account includes electrical, EMC and environmental testing facilities.
The brochure names the equipment and test categories; a purchased model still needs its own acceptance scope.
Load and electronics testing
The reviewed production spread shows a high-power full-load test system labelled Pmax = 2,000 kW, alongside an EMC testing centre and an environmental-reliability centre. Its preceding testing overview lists PCB, temperature-rise, short-circuit and overload tests. These describe the manufacturer's facilities, not a 2,000-kW rating or completed test result for every drive.[2]
Environment and interference checks
The same overview names voltage dips and interruptions, emissions/immunity-related tests, salt-spray, thermal-shock, humidity/temperature and random-vibration testing. VFDMatch recommends identifying the actual model, applicable standard, test conditions and delivered report in a factory-acceptance request. That connects the listed facilities to evidence for the particular equipment being supplied.[2]
A V560 application assigns the line-speed calculation to the PLC and local correction to each drive.
The manufacturer's report describes an unnamed stainless-wire installation with six 600-mm drums, dancer feedback and a take-up reel.
Calculate stage speeds from the machine setup
The report describes drawing 5.5-mm incoming wire through four dies to 2.82 mm. The HMI holds the die and transmission-ratio settings; the PLC uses the equal-volume-flow relationship to calculate the main speed reference for the drawing stages and take-up, then sends those references to the drives by communication. The dimensions describe this reported installation, not a universal V560 limit.[4]
Correct tension from the dancer position
Position sensors monitor the pneumatic dancers between adjacent drums. Each drive uses that feedback for a local PID correction to the main speed reference. The take-up reference is corrected as reel diameter changes. The article therefore distinguishes coordinated line-speed calculation from local tension correction rather than describing all control as one drive function.[4]
Recalculate after a bypass and coordinate stopping
The PLC logic includes upstream/downstream linking, die bypass, broken-wire detection, length and weight counting. When the operator selects a bypass, the remaining stages' speed ratios are recalculated and sent to the drives. VFDMatch recommends including these operating sequences in a line enquiry and commissioning plan, with the mechanical ratios and sensor signals supplied for the actual machine.[4]
Three general-purpose families, with supply and power ranges as SIMPHOENIX prints them.
The ranges below come from the April 2025 Chinese catalogue and the current English E280 manual. They are the manufacturer's figures; the exact model row still decides current and duty.
Swipe horizontally to compare all columns.
| Family | Supply | Power range | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| E580 vector drive | 3AC 380 V ±20%; 3AC 220 V ±20% | 380 V: 1.1–400 kW; 220 V: 2.2–90 kW | April 2025 catalogue, printed p.1-21 |
| E280 vector drive | 3-phase 380 V; 220 V (2T models) | 380 V: 1.1–400 kW general load, 1.5–450 kW light load; 220 V: 2.2–90 kW in the manual, 2.2–160 kW in the brochure | E280 manual V1.6, p.8; E280 brochure p.11 |
| DL300 open-loop vector drive | 3AC 380 V; 1AC 220 V | 380 V: 1.1–15 kW; 220 V: 0.7–4.0 kW | April 2025 catalogue, printed p.1-13 |
E280 and E580 share their model steps
E280's model table and E580's catalogue table list the same power steps and the same general-load currents, for example 13.0 A at 5.5 kW and 730 A at 400 kW. The E280 brochure's code column even prints 000M58… order codes, the format the April 2025 catalogue uses for E580. No SIMPHOENIX document says the two are the same drive, so ask which family and code the quotation covers.[3][6][8]
An E580 G/P designation carries two different current and motor-power columns.
The April 2025 catalogue separates general-load mode from steady-load mode for the three-phase 380-V examples below.
Swipe horizontally to compare all columns.
| Complete drive designation | General-load mode | Steady-load mode |
|---|---|---|
| E580-4T0055G/4T0075P | 13 A · 5.5 kW | 17 A · 7.5 kW |
| E580-4T0075G/4T0090P | 17 A · 7.5 kW | 21 A · 9 kW |
The duty limit changes with the column
For E580, the catalogue lists general-load capability as 110% continuously, 150% for 90 seconds and 180% for two seconds. Its steady-load entry gives 105% continuously. Select against the motor current and repeating cycle in the corresponding mode; the larger P motor-power number is not a substitute for the G duty rating.[3]
Supply and braking hardware
The same technical spread gives three-phase 380 V and 220 V supply routes, IP20 protection and closed-loop vector, open-loop vector and V/F control. It states that a braking unit is standard through E580-4T0220 and E580-2T0110. VFDMatch recommends retaining the actual frame and voltage route and asking separately for the resistor and its duty; the installed braking unit does not define the external thermal load.[3]
A complete proposal should connect the drive hardware to the machine's operating sequence.
The V560 application and E580 catalogue answer different parts of an automation enquiry.
For a drawing or winding line
VFDMatch recommends providing the incoming/outgoing material dimensions, drum and transmission ratios, reel-diameter range, dancer or tension-sensor signals, motor nameplates and stop/start cycle. Identify who supplies the PLC/HMI programme and who commissions linking, bypass, broken-wire and count-based stopping. Use the actual V560 or E580 documents for the offered product; their configuration details should not be interchanged.[3][4]
For equipment and service delivery
Include the Shenzhen or Huizhou supplying entity, full G/P designation, voltage, feedback/tension/communication cards and braking hardware in the bill of materials. Ask for the applicable drawings, parameter backup, acceptance records and support responsibility. That makes the order consistent with the manufacturer's documented company structure and frame-specific option tables.[1][2][3]
The E280 manual most buyers find is not the one the product page links.
SIMPHOENIX publishes three E280 documents in English. They differ on revision, voltage range and light-load overload.
Current manual: V1.6, May 2023
The English download page lists the 242-page E280 user manual, version V1.6, revised May 2023. Its model table covers 380 V from 1.1 kW (3.0 A) to 400 kW (730 A) in general-load mode, and 220 V 2T models from 2.2 to 90 kW. The warranty card on its last page states 18 months.[6]
The product page still links V1.3
The DOWNLOAD button on the E280 product page opens version V1.3, revised September 2018, which lists 380 V models only. Use V1.6 unless the supplier states that the delivered drive follows V1.3.[9]
Three points where the documents disagree
V1.6 labels the 220 V input "single phase (2T# series)" while its own code key and the brochure treat T as three-phase. V1.6 gives the light-load (P) overload as 150% long-term; the brochure gives 105% long-term. The brochure extends 220 V to E280-2T1600 at 160 kW; the manual stops at 90 kW. Put the supply phase, the P-type overload and, for 220 V, the top model in writing before ordering.[6][8]

Buyer questions
What is produced in Wanwei Technology Park's two phases?
The July 2025 brochure describes phase one for small/medium inverters and servo products and phase two for high-power products.
Can E580-4T0055G/4T0075P use the 7.5-kW entry for any duty?
The 7.5-kW entry is in the separate steady-load column; the general-load entry is 5.5 kW and 13 A, with its own overload limits.
Which tension card does the catalogue list for the smaller E580 range?
APV-B301 is listed through E580-4T0040G/4T0055P. APV-F301 is listed from E580-4T0055G/4T0075P upward.
Does the wire-drawing case put every control function inside the drive?
No. The reported PLC calculates stage speeds and coordinates linking/bypass/counting, while the drives apply local dancer-feedback correction.
Which E280 manual should I use?
The current English download is V1.6 (May 2023, 242 pages). The product page's download button still opens V1.3 from September 2018. V1.6 and the brochure also disagree on the 220 V phase label, the light-load overload and the largest 220 V model, so confirm those points with the supplier.
