Product details

The ATV6A0C50R4 is a modular Altivar Process ATV600 drive delivering 500 kW at 440 V in normal duty and 400 kW in heavy duty. Line current runs 771 A normal, 623 A heavy. The normal duty figure governs continuous constant-torque loads; heavy duty provides higher overload margin for cyclic or demanding applications. Integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 with 300 m of shielded cable, so many installations can skip an external filter. STO SIL 3 is built in — no option card needed for safe torque off. Standards compliance includes IEC 61800-3, -5-1, and 61000-3-12; CE marked.

Supply and I/O structure

External 24 V DC (19…30 V) powers the digital inputs. An internal supply provides 10.5 V ±5% for a reference potentiometer (1 to 10 kΩ), and a separate 24 V DC (21…27 V, <200 mA) for digital inputs and STO—with overload and short-circuit protection. Analog inputs AI1–AI3 are software-configurable for voltage (0…10 V, 30 kΩ) or current (0…20 mA/4…20 mA, 250 Ω), 12-bit resolution. DI5 and DI6 accept pulse inputs up to 30 kHz. Three relay outputs (R1–R3) are configurable for fault/sequence logic; R1 is NO/NC, R2 and R3 are NO. Electrical endurance rated 100,000 cycles.

Mounting and cooling

Cabinet mount with forced convection cooling. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1. Operating altitude up to 4800 m with 1% current derating per 100 m above 1000 m. Relative humidity 5–95% non-condensing. The modular variant ships as a kit: control unit, mounting hardware, power connection set, fuses, three 160 kW power modules, and two front covers.

Commissioning and connectivity

Slot A accepts communication modules: Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen. Ethernet port supports half/full duplex and auto-negotiation. Serial port runs Modbus RTU at 4.8–38.4 kbps. Sampling for digital inputs is 2 ms, for analog inputs 5 ms—tight enough for most process loops.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between normal duty and heavy duty ratings?

Normal duty (500 kW, 771 A) is for continuous constant-torque loads. Heavy duty (400 kW, 623 A) provides higher overload capacity for applications like crushers or conveyors with peak torque demands.

Does the ATV6A0C50R4 include safe torque off?

Yes, it has built-in STO rated SIL 3 per IEC 61508 and IEC 13849-1—no optional safety module required.

What integrated EMC filter does this drive have?

It includes a filter compliant with IEC 61800-3 category C3 for 300 m of shielded cable, suitable for most industrial environments without an external filter.
