Product details

Drive capacity and duty ratings

The ATV6B0C63T4 is a modular-build Altivar Process ATV600 drive rated 900 hp (630 kW) at 480 V for normal-duty applications, 700 hp (500 kW) for heavy-duty profiles. Line current draws 862 A normal duty, 674 A heavy duty, with a prospective line short-circuit rating of 50 kA. Apparent power reaches 717 kVA at 480 V normal duty, 561 kVA heavy duty. The switching frequency is adjustable from 2 to 8 kHz, with derating factor applied above 2.5 kHz. Output voltage follows the supply voltage.

Compliance and environmental tolerance

This drive carries CE marking and complies with IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 61000-3-12 (harmonic limits), IEC 60721-3 (environmental conditions), IEC 61508, and IEC 13849-1 (functional safety). Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1, shock resistance 4 g/11 ms, vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6. Operating altitude up to 1000 m without derating, to 4800 m with current reduction. The integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 for 300 m cable runs, suitable for second-environment (industrial) installations. STO (Safe Torque Off) function rated SIL 3 provides a hardware safety path without requiring an external safety relay for basic stop functions.

Integration and communication options

Cabinet-mount configuration, forced-convection cooling. Modular construction with separate power module, control unit, and front cover. Slot A accepts fieldbus option cards: Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, CANopen (RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals). Slot A/B also accepts digital/analog I/O extensions and relay output modules. Built-in communications include Modbus serial (RS-485, 2-wire, RTU, 4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s, 1–247 addresses) and Modbus TCP (10/100 Mbit/s, half/full duplex, autonegotiation). The STO function is wired via a dedicated safety input – verify that the safe torque off circuit is powered separately from the control logic.

Frequently asked questions

What is the CE marking significance for this drive?

The drive carries CE marking per its spec, indicating conformity with applicable EU health, safety, and environmental directives, including the Low Voltage and EMC Directives.

What is the variant type of the ATV6B0C63T4?
