Product details

Where this drive is typically applied

The ATV6B0C50R4 is used to control synchronous and asynchronous motors in industrial process applications — pumping, conveying, fan arrays, and extruders where power quality and safety integration matter. The modular version separates the power module and control unit (the kit includes a 160 kW power module and a separate control unit), so a failed power stack can be swapped without touching control wiring, and vice versa. Standard cabinet-mount frame with M10 busbar connections on the motor side and screw terminals for control wiring up to 1.5 mm².

Fieldbus and communication options

Slot A accepts communication modules for PROFIBUS DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen (with daisy-chain RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals). Both Slot A and Slot B accept digital/analog I/O extension or output relay extension modules. The drive ships with Modbus serial (RS-485, 2-wire) and Modbus TCP/Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s) as standard, so you can commission it on the built-in protocols immediately.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation does this drive carry?

It carries CE marking and complies with IEC 61800-3, IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 61000-3-12, IEC 60721-3, IEC 61508, and ISO 13849-1. Specific declarations and certificates are supplied with the unit or upon request.

What does the 'Modular version' variant mean for service?

Modular version means the power module and control unit are separate assemblies. The kit composition includes one control unit and a 160 kW power module, so a field swap of either section is possible without disturbing the other, reducing repair time.
