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)
