Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Proven MICROMASTER 440 Platform – Over two decades of field-proven reliability in harsh industrial environments worldwide.
- Advanced Vector Control – Sensorless and closed-loop vector modes deliver high dynamic response and precise torque at low speeds, critical for hoists and extruders.
- Wide Output Frequency Range (0–650 Hz) – Supports high-speed spindle applications beyond standard 50/60 Hz motors.
- Flexible Communication – Native USS/RS-485 and optional PROFIBUS DP (CB15) enable seamless integration with Siemens S7 PLCs and third-party SCADA systems.
- Built-in PID Controller – Eliminates the need for an external PLC loop for simple closed-loop process control (pressure, flow, temperature).
- Comprehensive Protection – Over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, ground fault, and motor stall protection reduce unplanned downtime.
- Energy-Saving Mode (AEO) – Automatic energy optimization reduces motor flux at partial loads, cutting energy costs in pump and fan applications.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 6SE6440-2UD31-8DA1 control a pump in a closed-loop pressure system without an external PLC?
A: Yes. The built-in PID controller (P2200–P2295 parameter group) accepts a 4–20 mA or 0–10 V feedback signal from a pressure transducer and regulates motor speed autonomously.
Q: What is the maximum motor cable length before an output reactor is required?
A: Siemens recommends an output reactor for cable lengths exceeding 50 m (shielded) or 100 m (unshielded) to protect motor insulation from voltage spikes.
Q: Is this drive compatible with Siemens S7-300/S7-400 PLCs via PROFIBUS?
A: Yes, with the optional CB15 PROFIBUS DP option board (6SE6400-1PB00-0AA0). The drive uses the PROFIdrive profile for seamless integration.
Q: Can it operate in a high-ambient-temperature environment (45–50 °C)?
A: Yes, with derating. At 50 °C, output current must be derated by approximately 10%. Ensure adequate ventilation clearance (100 mm top/bottom, 25 mm sides).
Q: What is the difference between CT and VT mode?
A: CT mode (150% overload for 60 s) is for conveyors, hoists, and extruders requiring high starting torque. VT mode (110% overload) is optimized for pumps and fans where torque demand increases with speed squared.
