The 3AXD50000034626: The drive is rated IP55 with a NEMA Type 12 enclosure, making it suitable for washdown areas and dusty environments common in water treatment plants. Frame size R6 keeps the footprint manageable for wall mounting, and the maximum ambient temperature is 40 °C.
Input frequency range of 47.5-63 Hz covers weak grid conditions common on generator-backed sites. The power factor of 0.98 is the drive-side input displacement factor at rated load; no external harmonic filter is needed for most installations. Standby loss of 36 W matters for energy-conscious sites where the drive idles for extended periods. The 67 dB(A) sound level is typical for an R6 frame at full fan speed — locate it away from operator stations if noise is a concern.
The drive includes 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 6 digital inputs, and 3 digital outputs — enough for a basic pump station with level transducer, flow meter, and start/stop commands. Communication is via CAN; no onboard Ethernet, so plan for a fieldbus adapter if the plant uses PROFINET or EtherNet/IP. A CR2032 lithium coin cell (220 mAh, 3 V) backs the real-time clock and parameter storage. Replace it during preventive maintenance to avoid losing configuration after a power loss.
Efficiency class IE2 is the standard rating. For projects requiring IE3 or IE4, verify that the specific pump/motor combination meets the local energy directive — the drive itself does not limit the system efficiency class.
