The ATV6B0C40Q6: Motor power: 400 kW normal duty at 690 V, 315 kW heavy duty – the heavy-duty figure governs continuous high-torque loads like conveyors and crushers; the normal-duty number applies to centrifugal pumps and fans with quadratic torque. Line current at 690 V: 363 A normal duty, 287 A heavy duty – this is the current the drive draws from the supply, not the motor full-load current. Size upstream protection and cables accordingly. Integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3, meaning it is suitable for second-environment (industrial) installations with cable lengths up to 300 m. No external filter needed for typical plant-floor runs. Safe Torque Off (STO) SIL 3 – a hardware safety function that removes torque without a separate safety contactor. If your machine safety requirement calls for SIL 3, this drive already has it.
Communications and modularity
Slot A on the ATV6B0C40Q6 accepts fieldbus option cards: Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, CANopen (RJ45 or Sub-D or screw terminals). Slot A/B also accepts digital/analog I/O or relay extension modules. The base unit carries Modbus serial (RS-485, 2-wire, RTU) and Modbus TCP Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s) as standard. Switching frequency adjustable 2–4.9 kHz; derate current for higher frequencies above 2 kHz. For motor-friendly operation at long cable runs, stay at 2 kHz.
Mechanical and environmental
Cabinet-mounted, forced-convection cooled. Pollution degree 2, vibration 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2–13 Hz (0.5 g at 13–200 Hz), shock 4 g for 11 ms. Relative humidity 5–95% non-condensing.
