Product details

The ATV9B0C25N6: Motor power: 160 kW at 500 V normal duty, 132 kW heavy duty. Line current at 500 V normal duty is 204 A, heavy duty 169 A — use the heavy-duty current for cable and fuse sizing if the load profile is continuous full torque. That means the drive can be used in safety-related applications up to SIL 3 without an external safety contactor — clean signal path for the safety CPU, just wire the STO inputs directly to the safety relay or PLC safety output. Integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 for 300 m cable runs. That covers most industrial installations without an external filter; if the line is longer or you need Category C2 for residential environments, plan for an add-on output filter. Switching frequency adjustable 2 to 4.9 kHz with derating. For a 160 kW motor, running at 2 kHz keeps thermal losses manageable; pushing to 4.9 kHz quiets the motor but derates output current — check the derating curve in the manual before committing the BOM line.

Fieldbus and I/O options

Comes with dual RJ45 Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP on terminal 1, plus a separate RJ45 for Modbus serial. Slot A accepts Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen (RJ45 or SUB-D 9 or screw terminals), or EtherCAT. Slots A, B, and C can take digital/analog I/O extension modules or output relay modules. Slot B also accepts encoder interfaces (5/12 V digital, analog, or resolver). That gives flexibility to match whatever fieldbus the controls integrator has already committed to — no need to respin the cabinet layout.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative in the same family?

The ATV9B0C20N6 is the next step down in the same ATV9B0 frame, rated 132 kW normal duty at 500 V. Both share the same option slots and safety features; the choice depends on motor power.

What are the key supply voltage requirements?

The drive requires an external 24 V DC supply for digital inputs (19...30 V), and provides an internal 10.5 V DC supply for a 1 to 10 kOhm reference potentiometer. The STO and digital input internal supply is 24 V DC (21...27 V).

What safety certifications does it 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 IEC 13849-1. The STO function is rated SIL 3.
