Product details

The APMBC0CTLY6 is the control module for the Altivar Process Modular drive family, rated for a 500...690 V supply. It packs the brains — STO safe torque off rated SIL 3, dual communication (Modbus serial and Ethernet/Modbus TCP), and the internal supplies for digital inputs and a reference potentiometer. If you're specifying the control head for a modular APM drive on a 690 V line, this is the order code.

The module expects an external 24 V DC supply for digital inputs (19...30 V range) and a separate 24 V DC (21...27 V) for the STO and internal digital input bus. The reference potentiometer (1 to 10 kOhm) gets its own regulated 10.5 V DC ±5 %. Communication ports are RJ45 — one for Ethernet/Modbus TCP, one for Modbus serial (RS-485, 2-wire). The serial bus supports up to 247 addresses, RTU frame, configurable parity.

Rated IP00 — open frame, intended for cabinet mounting. Ambient operating range -10...50 °C with derating above 40 °C. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2...13 Hz, 0.5 gn at 13...200 Hz. Shock rated 7 gn for 11 ms. Pollution degree 2.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key supply voltages for this module?

Digital inputs need an external 24 V DC (19...30 V). The STO and internal digital input bus run on a separate 24 V DC (21...27 V). The reference potentiometer gets 10.5 V DC ±5 % from the module.

What communication protocols does it support?

Modbus serial (RS-485, 2-wire, RTU) and Ethernet/Modbus TCP. Both use RJ45 connectors on the remote graphic terminal.

What safety function does it provide?

STO (safe torque off) rated SIL 3.
