The 3AXD50000038962: Three duty points let you size the drive to the application without guesswork. Normal use (Pn 18.5 kW, In 38 A) covers constant-torque loads like conveyors and pumps. Light-overload (PlD 18.5 kW, IlD 36.1 A) handles variable-torque fans and centrifugal pumps where peak current is brief. Heavy-duty (PhD 15.0 kW, IhD 31.6 A) is for high-starting-torque loads such as crushers or extruders. The 26 kV·A apparent power output confirms the drive can deliver full rated current into the motor.
Built-in I/O covers most standalone applications: 6 digital inputs, 3 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs. Communication is CAN-based — no onboard Industrial Ethernet, so if you need PROFINET or EtherNet/IP, plan for an optional fieldbus adapter. The drive includes a control unit, so you don't need to order a separate controller module.
