FAQs
Altivar 320 is designed for both simple and complex machine applications, offering reliable control for asynchronous and synchronous motors from 0.18 to 15 kW. It is ideal for:
- Material handling: conveyors, hoists, automated storage systems
- Packaging and processing: bagging, labeling, food & beverage machinery
- Textile and material working: cutting, shaping, spinning
- Pumps, fans, and mixers: with energy-efficient motor control algorithms
Yes. ATV320 is fully integrated into Schneider Electric’s MachineStruxure™ automation platform and supports:
- Embedded protocols: Modbus RTU and CANopen
- Optional communication cards: Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, Powerlink, Profibus DP, DeviceNet
- SoMove software: for configuration, diagnostics, and safety setup (via USB, Bluetooth, or Ethernet)
- PLCopen-compliant function blocks: for seamless integration with Schneider PLCs such as Modicon M221, M241, and M251
ATV320 offers a wide range of connectivity options to fit various automation architectures:
- Embedded: Modbus RTU, CANopen
- Optional communication cards:
- Ethernet-based: Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, Powerlink
- Serial-based: Profibus DP, DeviceNet
- CANopen daisy chain: for multi-drive topologies
- I/O-based control: for standalone or basic applications
- Web server: available via optional Ethernet cards, for remote diagnostics and monitoring
ATV320 includes integrated safety functions compliant with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and IEC 61800-5-2 standards:
- STO (Safe Torque Off) - SIL3 / PL e (standard on all models)
- SS1 (Safe Stop 1), SLS (Safe Limited Speed), SMS (Safe Maximum Speed) - SIL2 / PL d (available on selected models or via optional safety modules)
- GDL (Guard Door Lock) - typically implemented externally, not embedded in the drive
To select the appropriate ATV320 model, consider the following criteria:
- Motor type: asynchronous or synchronous
- Power rating: from 0.18 to 15 kW
- Voltage class
- 200-240 V single-phase → M2
- 200 240 V three-phase → M3
- 380-500 V three-phase → N4
- 525-600 V three-phase → S6
- Form factor:
- Book: for side-by-side mounting in narrow enclosures
- Compact: for shallow cabinets or direct machine integration
- Environmental conditions:
- For harsh environments, choose models with 3C3/3S2 coating
- For dusty or washdown areas, consider IP65/IP66 versions
- Communication needs: Select models with appropriate embedded protocols or optional fieldbus cards based on your network architecture
