ATV320 Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

Schneider Electric's Altivar 320 offers a powerful combination of safety, reliability, and simplicity with numerous out-of-the-box features for building more effective machines. Available in compact and book form factors for simplified installation and efficient space use, these drives allow machines to perform better with less downtime and lower total machine costs. The Altivar 320 provides reliable control for asynchronous and synchronous motors delivering leading-edge performance with simple commissioning.

The Altivar Machine ATV320 provides IP20 and IP6x variable speed drive for three-phase synchronous and asynchronous motors in open loop control and incorporates functions suitable for the most common applications, including:

• Torque and speed accuracy at very low speed, high dynamic performance with flux vector control without sensor
• Extended frequency range for high-speed motors
• Parallel connection of motors and special drives using voltage/frequency ratio
• Static speed accuracy and energy saving for open-loop synchronous motors

The ATV320 series focuses on easy integration for simple and advanced machine requirements with proven motor control and connectivity. It offers enhanced automation capabilities and performance for industrial machine applications, such as:

• Effective control of asynchronous and permanent magnet motors
• Complete integration into any system architecture (Ethernet, CANopen, Profibus, and others)
• Compact and book format for integration in a variety of different cabinet types
• Integrated safety function for compliance with functional safety standards
• Enhanced resistance to polluted atmospheres

By taking account of constraints on product setup and use right from the design stage, Schneider Electric simplifies the integration of the Altivar Machine ATV320 drive into industrial machines. It features over 150 functions and is robust, easy to install, and compliant with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. ATV320 is fully integrated inside Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Machine through DTM and offers PLCopen-compliant libraries. EcoStruxure Machine can be used to develop, configure, and set up an entire machine in a single software environment. Using FDT/DTM technology, it is possible to configure, control, and diagnose Altivar Machine ATV320 drives directly in SoMachine and SoMove software using the same software brick (DTM). With seamless integration under this platform, Altivar Machine ATV320 has the advantage of shorter engineering and design times. Optional Ethernet-based communication capability makes it accessible to production data at any automation system level.
