- Integrated EMC Filter (C2): Eliminates external filter BOM cost and panel wiring complexity; compliant with EN 61800-3 for industrial environments.
- Dual Native Fieldbus: Modbus RTU and CANopen on a single RJ45 port — no additional communication card required for most machine PLC architectures.
- STO (Safe Torque Off) — IEC 62061 SIL2 / ISO 13849-1 PLd: Functional safety input eliminates need for external safety contactor in many machine safety circuits.
- Motor Auto-Tuning: Static and dynamic auto-tune routines optimize flux vector performance without manual parameter calculation.
- Energy Savings Mode: Automatic voltage optimization under partial load reduces motor losses by up to 30% in fan/pump applications.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The ATV320U40N4C operates as a 3-phase AC-DC-AC converter. The rectifier stage converts 380–500V AC mains to a regulated DC bus (~540–700V DC). The IGBT inverter stage synthesizes a variable-frequency, variable-voltage output via PWM modulation. The integrated DC bus choke reduces harmonic distortion (THDi) and extends capacitor life. The control board interfaces with the machine PLC via digital I/O or fieldbus, executing speed/torque references in real time. The integrated EMC filter suppresses conducted emissions on the supply side, ensuring compliance without external components.
Recommended system topology: Upstream MCCB (motor circuit breaker) → Line reactor (optional, >100m cable) → ATV320U40N4C → Motor cable (shielded, ≤50m) → Induction or PM motor.

Technical FAQ
Q: Can the ATV320U40N4C drive a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor?
A: Yes. The ATV320 supports PM motor control in open-loop SVC mode. Motor parameters must be entered manually or via auto-tune with the motor at standstill.
Q: Is an external EMC filter required?
A: No. The “C” suffix in ATV320U40N4C denotes an integrated Class C2 EMC filter. No external filter is required for standard industrial installations with cable lengths ≤25m.
Q: What fieldbus options are available beyond native Modbus/CANopen?
A: Optional communication cards support PROFIBUS DP (VW3A3607), EtherNet/IP + Modbus TCP (VW3A3616), PROFINET (VW3A3627), and DeviceNet (VW3A3609). Cards are hot-swappable with the drive powered down.
Q: What is the maximum motor cable length?
A: With the integrated EMC filter active, Schneider Electric specifies ≤25m shielded cable for C2 compliance. With an external dV/dt filter, cable lengths up to 100m are achievable.
Q: Does the drive support Safe Torque Off (STO) without an additional safety module?
A: Yes. STO is a native hardware function on the ATV320 control board, rated SIL2 / PLd. It requires only a 24V safety relay or safety PLC output — no additional module is needed.
Q: What is the difference between ATV320U40N4 and ATV320U40N4C?
A: The “C” suffix indicates the integrated EMC filter variant. The ATV320U40N4 (without C) requires an external EMC filter for CE compliance in most installations.
