The highly successful Telemecanique Altivar 61 and 71 range of variable speed drives from Schneider Electric has been extended. The company can now offer customers off-the-shelf and engineered VSD (Variable Speed Drive) solutions up to 800 kW at 690 V.
The expanded range of Telemecanique Altivar 61 and 71 VSDs
The new drives are based on the proven technology of the variable torque ATV61 and constant torque ATV71, incorporate the same intuitive user-friendly graphic interface and offer Schneider Electric's proven track record.
The flexibility of the drives and the available accessories allow the range to be adapted to most complex installations and offer conformance with most international standards and certifications. Included in the range are solutions protected up to IP54 with customisable ready-assembled enclosures. Braking transistors are included in all VSDs up to 160 kW.
The included graphic terminal is equipped with macro-configurations to aid installation. Incorporating diagnostic functions, help menus and self test procedures, the terminal simplifies commissioning and maintenance.
The Altivar's user friendliness is further enhanced with Powersuite, a software package designed to rapidly configure and commission Telemecanique VSDs with a PC or laptop. Using direct cable, Ethernet TCP/IP, modem or Bluetooth, the VSD can be programmed, interrogated, reset and commissioned either locally or remotely.
Built-in Modbus and CANopen, optional Modbus TCP/IP and all other major industrial protocols, give the Altivar range the ability to be engineered into all automated solutions, with realtime data exchange allowing supervisory systems to monitor and control processes with speed and precision.
With the optional Controller Inside programmable card, the Altivar is transformed into a true automation island. Configurable in all IEC 61131-3 programming languages including SFC, FBD and ST (structured text), the Controller Inside card integrates control system functions and can access the VSD parameters, VSD I/O, extension card I/O and encoder interface card.
