Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1. Relative humidity 5–95% non-condensing. Vibration resistance: 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2–13 Hz, 0.5 gn at 13–200 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6. Shock resistance 4 gn for 11 ms per IEC 60068-2-27. Switching frequency is adjustable 2–4.9 kHz with derating — expect a derating curve if running higher than the default. ## Communications and control The drive ships with dual-port Ethernet supporting Modbus TCP/IP at 10/100 Mbit/s, half/full duplex auto-negotiation. Serial Modbus RTU on 2-wire RS‑485 at selectable baud rates (4.8, 9.6, 19.2, 38.4 kbit/s) with configurable parity. Slot A accepts option cards for Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen (daisy chain RJ45 or SUB-D 9 or screw terminals) per. Slot A/B also accepts digital/analog I/O extension or output relay modules. No built-in Modbus bridge — the two ports are switch-integrated for line / star topology. CE marked. Compliance with IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 61000-3-12 (harmonic limits), IEC 60721-3 (environmental), IEC 61508 and IEC 13849-1 (functional safety) — all per. The EMC filter is C3 category, meaning it is suitable for industrial power systems but not for residential premises. Prospective line short-circuit current withstand: 50 kA. UL Type 1 or Type 12 when integrated in a cabinet per UL 61800-5-1. ## Sourcing takeaway This is the correct ATV600 modular drive for a 690 V system requiring 1200 kW ND or 1000 kW HD with integrated EMC C3 and STO SIL 3. The lifecycle is current-active; no imminent replacement or LTB. An RFQ is the appropriate channel to confirm lead time and exact kit contents (power module, control unit, connection set, fuses, front cover per). There is no pin-compatible alternative within the same family with identical ratings — the ATV600 modular variant is specified per this exact order code.","metaTitle":"Schneider ATV6A0M12Q6 Altivar Process 1200 kW Drive","metaDescription":"Modular 690 V drive, 1200 kW ND / 1000 kW HD, STO SIL 3, integrated EMC filter C3, CE marking.
