The Schneider ATV9B0C16N6 is an Altivar Process ATV900 modular drive rated for 110 kW at 500 V normal duty and 90 kW at 500 V heavy duty. Line current sits at 141 A normal duty, 117 A heavy duty, with regenerative mode ratings at 114 A and 92 A respectively. The supply architecture splits: digital inputs and STO take 24 V DC (21...27 V), while the reference potentiometer gets a separate 10.5 V DC ±5 % rail — keep those supplies isolated in the panel design.
Safety and compliance
The drive carries CE marking and complies with IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 61000-3-12 (harmonics), IEC 60721-3 (environmental), and IEC 61508. Integrated EMC filter meets category C3 for 300 m cable runs — no external filter needed for most industrial installations.
Fieldbus and I/O options
Slot A accepts Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen (RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals), or EtherCAT communication modules. Slots A, B, and C take digital/analog I/O extension or output relay modules. Slot B also supports 5/12 V digital encoder, analog encoder, or resolver interface modules. Native Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP on dual RJ45 ports plus one RJ45 for Modbus serial at 4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s.
Power quality and thermal
Total harmonic current distortion (THDI) stays under 5% at full load per IEEE 519. Switching frequency is adjustable from 2 to 4.9 kHz with derating. Forced convection cooling; IP00 rating for cabinet integration into IP21 or IP54 enclosures.
