| Title |
The Altivar Machine ATV320 variable frequency drive from Schneider Electric is the modern, robust, and connected solution for controlling three-phase asynchronous and synchronous motors. Designed for machine builders (OEMs) and industrial integrators, it successfully succeeds the Altivar ATV12 by offering more power, increased safety, and improved connectivity.
Schneider Electric's Altivar Machine ATV320 variable frequency drives offer a compact, high-performance, and connected solution for controlling three-phase asynchronous and synchronous motors from 0.18 to 15 kW.
Ideal for industrial machines, OEMs, pumping, ventilation, hoisting, and packaging systems, they combine robustness, precision, and ease integration.
Thanks to their compact or book format, protection up to IP66, and compatibility with major industrial networks (Modbus, CANopen, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, etc.), the ATV320 drives integrate seamlessly into EcoStruxure™ Machine architectures.
Equipped with advanced safety features (STO, SS1, SLS, SMS, GDL – up to SIL3/PLe) and programmable ATV Logic functions, they ensure optimal productivity, reliability, and energy efficiency.

*At Tradelco Inc., we distribute the full range of Schneider Electric variable speed drives, including the Altivar ATV12, Altivar ATV320, Altivar ATV630, and Altivar ATV930, supported by local technical expertise, customized wiring solutions, and integration services for all your industrial automation applications.
There are 5 built-in safety features that are one of the major advantages of the Altivar Machine ATV320 variable frequency drive. These features protect operators, equipment, and machines, while also reducing costs (since they do not require external safety modules).
*Fully configurable via the SoMove software.
The machine decelerates safely before coming to a complete stop.
Combines safety and mechanical protection of the engine.
💡 Example: rapid stopping of a saw or grinder.
The motor is put into "zero torque," eliminating all driving force. Prevents accidental restart during intervention or maintenance.
💡 Example: opening a protective door on a conveyor.
Allows for reduced speed operation during adjustments, positioning, or testing. If the speed limit is exceeded, the drive automatically performs a slow shutdown (STO).
💡 Example: “slow maintenance” mode on a packaging line.
Prevents a hood or door from being opened until the machine has completely stopped.
Unlocking is only permitted after a verified shutdown.
💡 Example: Locked door on a rotating press or winder.
Continuously monitors motor speed to prevent dangerous overspeeding.
Activates a safe shutdown as soon as a critical threshold is exceeded.
💡 Example: protecting an industrial mixer against overspeeding.
