New variable speed drives from Schneider Electric improve machine performance

April 7, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Schneider Electric’s new Altivar 320 Machine Drive is part of the new Altivar Machine range. The Altivar 320 offers a powerful combination of safety, reliability and simplicity with numerous out-of-the-box features for building more effective machines at optimized build costs.

Available in compact and book form factors for simplified installation and efficient space use, it allows machines to perform better with less down time and lower total machine costs. The Altivar 320 drive offers:

  • Advanced connectivity via Ethernet (Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT) or serial (Modbus RTU, CANopen, Profibus DP, DeviceNet) based networks
  • Reliable motor control and leading-edge performance for synchronous and asynchronous motors
  • Proven functionality in harsh environments, operating in ambient temperatures up to 60˚C, and class 3C3 coated printed circuit boards to protect against corrosion
  • Comprehensive embedded safety solutions for simple application requirements to comply with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and simplify certification

The Altivar 320 drive meets the needs of simple or complex machines from 0.25 hp to 20 hp. In general, the Altivar Machine range matches a variety of machine throughput requirements with benefits including improved machine performance, extended machine availability, and reduced total machine cost.
