Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the ATV320U55N4B control a pump in a closed-loop PID configuration?
A: Yes. The drive has a built-in PID controller that accepts a 4–20 mA or 0–10 V feedback signal, enabling direct closed-loop pressure or flow control without an external PLC.
Q: Is the ATV320U55N4B suitable for use with IE3 / PM motors?
A: Yes. The drive supports permanent magnet (PMSM) and synchronous reluctance motors in addition to standard induction motors, using its sensorless flux vector control algorithm.
Q: What is the difference between ATV320U55N4B and ATV320U55N4C?
A: The suffix “B” denotes book (panel-mount) format; “C” denotes compact (standalone) format. Both share identical electrical ratings — the difference is mechanical form factor and mounting method.
Q: Does this drive require an external EMC filter?
A: No. The ATV320U55N4B includes an integrated EMC filter meeting Category C2 requirements, suitable for most industrial environments without additional external filtering.
Q: Can I use this drive in a STO (Safe Torque Off) safety circuit?
A: Yes. The ATV320 series includes a built-in STO function (SIL 2 / PLd) accessible via dedicated terminals, compatible with safety relay modules.
