    Altivar 312

    Variable speed drives for
    three-phase asynchronous motors,
    from 0.18 to 15 kW - power range up to 600 V

    A user-friendly drive that is able to communicate, Altivar 312 is an upgrade to Altivar 31 with additional user benefits.

    Functions tailored to each type of machine
    With 50 integrated application-specific functions, Altivar 312 is ideal for the following applications:
    - Material handling and packaging
    - Packing
    - Textile machines
    - Special machines
    - Pumps and fans

    Totally transparent communication meets simplicity
    The Altivar 312 is easily integrated into control system architectures:
    - Modbus and CANopen integrated as standard
    - Option cards can be added for increased openness: CANopen Daisy Chain, DeviceNet and Profibus DP
    - Ethernet/Modbus and Fipio/Modbus gateways also available

    > A common platform of tools to simplify the job of any type of operator
    To adapt to the needs of different operators or simplify certain tasks, a wide selection of common tools for the Altivar and Lexium Series 2 product ranges has been developed. For example, configurations can be duplicated via Simple Loader, Multi-Loader, the graphic interface, the setup software SoMove and SoMove Mobile for mobile phones. SoMove Mobile only works with drives equipped with a Bluetooth interface.

    > The SoMove setup software can be used to prepare drive configuration and perform debugging
    Using SoMove, the design office can prepare the files required for configuration and transfer them:
    - Directly from PC to drive using a USB/RJ45 cable
    - Without a PC, via an SD memory card using the Multi-Loader tool
    SoMove also serves as a dynamic debugging tool for your machine, while the oscilloscope function will prove invaluable during adjustments.

    > Multi-Loader configuration tool
    A standard SD memory card stores the configurations of several drives. Simply load it directly into your PC or insert into the Multi-Loader, which can be used as a card reader.

    > Simple Loader duplication tool
    The configuration of a drive with settings for a specific application can be loaded on Simple Loader and duplicated on all other machines of the same type in a matter of seconds.

    > Mobile phone and SoMove Mobile: focusing on remote configuration
    Specially designed for machines spread out over different remote sites, it has never been so easy for operators to load or modify a configuration via a mobile phone with SoMove Mobile software installed.

    A carefully designed user interface
    Identical to the Altivar 12, the Altivar 312 interface features all the controls on the front panel. The notched wheel in the centre has several functions and can be used for programming, navigation or as a speed reference potentiometer for local control. The easy-to-use menu and graphic interface on the Altivar 71 allow operators to choose the required language (8 languages available as standard, 20 as an option) to make adjustment even easier.

     

    Designed for the harshest environments
    Building on the advantages of its predecessor, Altivar 31, the Altivar 312 is extremely robust. It comes with coated cards as standard (IEC 60721-3-3 Classes 3C2 and 3S2) and can withstand temperatures ranging from -10°C to 50°C without derating, even when installed side-by-side. What’s more, it offers excellent resistance to disturbed power supplies and motor interference.
