• Nominal Supply Voltage: 380V to 480V AC (Three-Phase)

• Integrated Connectivity: Dual-port Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP as standard

• Safety Functions: Integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) and Safe Stop 1 (SS1)

• Harmonic Control: Built-in THDI suppression technology

• Environmental Protection: IP21 rating for cabinet or wall-mounted installation

• Physical Dimensions: 4 x 22 x 21 cm (Control module footprint)

• Device Net Weight: 1.18 kg (Controller weight; total power assembly weight typically 25kg+)

• Operational Control: Sensorless vector control for permanent magnet and induction motors

• Expansion Slots: Support for I/O expansion, encoder feedback, and fieldbus modules

Industrial Utilization and Process Scenarios

The ATV930D37N4 is the preferred solution for mission-critical applications where downtime is not an option and high dynamic performance is mandatory:

• Material Handling and Logistics: Precise control for high-speed conveyor systems, stackers, and heavy-duty hoists where torque accuracy is essential for safety.

• Mining and Minerals Processing: Powering crushers, grinders, and heavy-duty slurry pumps that operate under extreme load conditions.

• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Managing high-capacity pumping stations with specialized software to prevent water hammer and monitor pump health.

• Food and Beverage Production: Coordinating high-speed mixers, centrifuges, and bottling lines requiring frequent start/stop cycles and strict energy management.

• Oil and Gas Extraction: Driving progressive cavity pumps and fans in hazardous or remote environments where Ethernet-based remote monitoring is required.
