Active production, no lifecycle concern
The VW3A1101: For procurement, this means standard lead times through distribution, no last-time-buy scramble.
What the graphic terminal does on an Altivar drive
This is a remote graphic terminal for the Altivar variable speed drive family. It mounts on the enclosure door and gives the operator a 240 x 160 pixel display with 8 lines of message capacity — enough to show drive status, parameter trees, and fault logs without scrolling through a two-line text panel. Beyond just viewing, the terminal lets you control, adjust, and configure the drive, save and download configurations, and display live current values. That makes it useful both for commissioning — loading a parameter set onto a new drive — and for ongoing monitoring on the line.
IP54 and door-mount — built for the panel face
Rated IP54, the terminal handles dust and splashing water — appropriate for a door-mounted HMI on a motor control centre or drive cabinet in a factory environment. The operating temperature range of -15 to 50 °C covers most indoor industrial spaces without derating. Mounting location is on the door of an enclosure — the terminal connects via a cable to the drive inside the panel, keeping the display accessible while the drive itself stays behind the locked door. The multi-language interface (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese —) suits global installations or multi-national sites.
