Schneider Electric ATV12 Variable Frequency Drives
Schneider Electric ATV12 Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) combine flexibility, reliability, and advanced sensorless flux vector technology into a small space. These Altivar 12 drives feature an integrated communications port, a user-friendly navigation wheel on the faceplate, and an optional multi-loader that streamlines setup via quick and easy programming. Schneider Electric ATV12 VFDs handle applications from simple to complex across industries, including harsh environments. Typical applications include conveyors, packaging, commercial kitchen equipment, door controls, fitness and healthcare equipment, HVAC, and pumping.Features
- Designed for integration
- Advanced functions for increased productivity (integrated PID, multi-speed, etc.)
- Easy communication with machine components via an integrated universal Modbus serial link
- Smaller footprint, as the baseplate-mounted version dissipates heat into the machine frame
- Factory settings provide a high-quality drive from the start
- Integration of standard (U/f), performance (sensorless flux vector control, or SVC), and pump/fan (quadratic profile Kn2) control profiles
- High dynamic performance on acceleration and braking
- Excellent speed regulation on machine load surges
- Reduced noise and maintenance
- Easy access to all the wiring and settings on the front panel
- Only one screwdriver is needed for all connections
- Fast detection and protection against motor current peaks (common in motor switching and catch-on-the-fly applications)
- Built-in EMC filter
- Drive can be configured before it is received (by the distributor), during storage (by the storekeeper), or during fitting before the electrical enclosure is powered up for the first time
- Quick start guide for immediate setup
- Navigation button for easy menu access: configure application parameters in just a few clicks
- Three-level menu structure
- Reference mode - in local operation (On/Off buttons) for speed adjustment and display
- Monitoring mode - for displaying parameters (create a menu)
- Configuration mode - for configuring applications and settings
- SoMove software for configuring on PC and transferring the configuration via BLUETOOTH® or using a cable
- Extensive range of drive and motor protection parameters, including thermal overload, overspeed, undervoltage, overvoltage, phase loss, over-braking, process underload, etc.
- Meets worldwide standards, including UL, CE marking
- Small footprint supports side-by-side mounting and easy installation.
- Functional as a substitute for reversing two-speed motors and as a replacement for DC speed control applications
- +40°C operation (+60°C with derating)
- Sensorless Vector Control and innovative braking control provide industry-leading starting and stopping torque
- Switching frequency adjustable from 2kHz to 16kHz
Applications
- Commercial equipment
- Handling (access barriers and rotating advertising billboards)
- Health (medical beds and treadmills)
- Food and beverage (commercial ovens, mills, kneading machines, and mixers)
- Mobile machines and small devices equipped with a power socket
- Applications that traditionally use other solutions (2-speed DC motors and mechanical drives)
- Small machines for industry
- Material handling (small conveyors)
- Packaging (small labeling machines and small bagging machines)
- Pumping applications (suction pumps, centrifugal pumps, and circulating pumps)
- Machines fitted with fans (air or smoke extraction, plastic film making machines, ovens, and boilers)
