Schneider Electric ATV340D45N4E Altivar Machine ATV340 Variable Speed Drive

The Schneider Electric ATV340D45N4E is a 45kW Altivar Machine variable speed drive designed for heavy-duty motor control. Featuring native Ethernet connectivity and high-performance torque regulation, it delivers exceptional reliability for advanced industrial machinery and IIoT-integrated systems.

Product Overview

The Schneider Electric ATV340D45N4E represents a high-performance solution within the Altivar Machine range, specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty industrial motor control. This 45kW variable speed drive excels in providing precision torque and speed regulation for three-phase asynchronous and synchronous motors. Because modern smart factories require deep integration, Schneider equips this model with native Ethernet connectivity, allowing it to function as a primary data node within an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) ecosystem.

Furthermore, the ATV340 series focuses on maximizing machine throughput. It achieves this by offering high dynamic response times and supporting advanced motor control laws. Consequently, this drive empowers original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators to build more productive, energy-efficient, and reliable machinery.

Key Technical Characteristics

The ATV340D45N4E incorporates several advanced features that distinguish it from standard general-purpose drives. To begin with, its embedded Ethernet port supports real-time communication, which eliminates the need for additional option cards in many applications. Additionally, the drive includes comprehensive safety functions, such as STO (Safe Torque Off), which comply with SIL3/PLe standards to protect both personnel and equipment.

Moreover, the drive manages thermal loads efficiently through an optimized airflow system. This design ensures that the unit maintains peak performance even under fluctuating load conditions or in environments with high ambient temperatures. By utilizing sophisticated power management algorithms, the drive also significantly reduces harmonic distortion and lowers overall energy consumption across the motor’s operating range.

Industrial Applications

Engineers typically specify the ATV340D45N4E for applications that demand rapid acceleration and high-torque precision. For example, material handling systems and high-speed conveyors rely on this drive to maintain consistent throughput. Similarly, packaging machinery and textile processing equipment benefit from its superior motor control accuracy. Because the drive handles high-inertia loads effectively, it remains a preferred choice for hoisting, pumping, and specialized woodworking machinery where operational reliability is critical.
