The Schneider ATV6B0C13N6 is a current-production modular Altivar Process ATV600 drive built for asynchronous and synchronous motors. It's the variant you spec when you need 90 kW normal duty (75 kW heavy duty) at 500 V three-phase — that's the line current of 117 A normal, 98 A heavy duty right there in the catalog. It's listed as a modular version, which means the power section and control unit ship separately — you get the control module, mounting kits, power connection set, and fuses in one box. That matters when you're panel building because you don't have to pull the whole drive to swap a control board. The integrated EMC filter is rated for 984.3 ft (300 m) motor cable with category C3 per IEC 61800-3. That's enough for most industrial runs without an add-on filter. If your site has a dedicated transformer or you're in a data center hyperscale hall, you might still need an external C2 filter — but for a typical plant floor, this filter saves you a line item.
For the controls integrator: the onboard Modbus serial is 8-bit RTU with configurable parity, addressing 1 to 247. Slot A accepts Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, and CANopen in various physical forms. If you're tying this into a Rockwell or Siemens backbone, pick the right option card and be done. The STO safety function carries SIL3 — that's a hard requirement on some CE-marked machinery. It kills torque without dropping the main power contactor, so you can clear a jam without cycling the whole line. Switching frequency is adjustable from 2 to 4.9 kHz with derating. For a 90 kW motor you'll likely park it at 2 kHz to keep the drive cool — forced convection fans are built in, but higher frequencies push more heat into the cabinet. Vibration resistance: 1.5 mm peak-to-peak 2–13 Hz, 0.5 gn 13–200 Hz. It'll take the shake near a compressor skid, but I've buried plenty of smaller drives on poorly isolated pump bases — this one is tougher, but bolt it to a stiff panel to trust that spec.
