Drive at a glance
The ATV6A0C20S6 is a modular Altivar Process ATV600 drive rated for 200 hp at 600 V normal duty and 175 hp heavy duty, drawing 172 A and 152 A line current respectively. It ships in cabinet-mount form with forced-convection cooling and carries CE marking alongside UL 61800-5-1 Type 1 protection for cabinet integration.
Ratings and real-world derating
Switching frequency is adjustable 2–4.9 kHz with a derating factor, so plan for reduced output current if you run above 4 kHz. Operating altitude is limited to 2000 m with derating above 1000 m. The prospective line short-circuit current rating is 50 kA, giving solid SCCR headroom for most industrial distribution.
Fieldbus and safety architecture
Slot A accepts interchangeable communication modules: Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen (RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals). A second slot A/B handles digital/analog I/O or relay expansion. The integrated Modbus serial runs at 4.8–38.4 kbit/s; the Ethernet port does 10/100 Mbit/s with auto-negotiation. Safe Torque Off is rated SIL 3, and the drive also monitors motor phase, thermal, overcurrent, ground faults, and DC bus overvoltages.
