It has a line current of 14.1 A for 380 V and 11.5 A for 480 V, supporting powerful motors that require high precision and control. The drive has flux vector control without a sensor, allowing for precise torque and speed regulation without additional sensors. This makes it highly efficient for applications where maintaining constant motor control is crucial.

The ATV61HU40N4 offers flexibility in motor control with its voltage/frequency ratio control. It supports standard voltage/frequency control and an energy-saving mode with a quadratic U/f ratio, making it highly efficient for varying load conditions. The drive also features adjustable switching frequencies from 1 to 16 kHz, allowing users to fine-tune the drive based on their specific application needs. Additionally, it has a nominal switching frequency of 12 kHz, ensuring smooth motor operation with reduced noise and electromagnetic interference.

Advanced Communication Capabilities

One of the standout features of the ATV61HU40N4 is its extensive communication capabilities. The drive is compatible with various communication protocols, making integrating into industrial control systems easy. It supports Modbus as a standard communication port protocol, and users can add optional communication cards for other protocols, including CANopen, BACnet, CC-Link, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Profibus DP, and more. This flexibility allows the drive to seamlessly interface with different control systems and networks, providing real-time data for monitoring and control.

The ATV61HU40N4 is also equipped with a built-in programmable controller, which allows users to program custom control logic directly into the drive. This eliminates the need for external controllers in certain applications, simplifying system architecture and reducing overall costs. Furthermore, the drive offers various I/O extension cards, allowing users to expand the drive's input and output capabilities to meet specific application requirements.

Energy Efficiency and Design

Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the ATV61HU40N4 includes several features that help reduce power consumption. The energy-saving mode with quadratic U/f control ensures that the drive consumes less power when operating under partial loads. This is particularly beneficial for applications like pumping and ventilation, where load conditions often fluctuate.

The drive also includes a Level 3 EMC filter, which ensures compliance with electromagnetic compatibility standards and reduces the risk of interference with other equipment. Additionally, the unit is built with a heat sink assembly style, which provides efficient cooling and ensures reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
