Schneider launches Altivar Process 6000 medium-voltage drive

The ATV6000 is a smart, connected product that contributes towards process optimisation, improves energy management and enhances asset management. Schneider Electric is currently working with UL and expects to have a listing by December 2019.

Equipped with Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Asset Advisor, the ATV6000 is claimed to "provide a unique solution to optimize the operation and maintenance of installations." It enables businesses to plug into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to manage maintenance tasks on assets with preventive and predictive management based on real-time assessments and predictive analytics.

Garrett Abbott-Frey, US Enclosed Senior Drive Offer Manager at Schneider Electric, comments: "Our customers are focused on reducing energy consumption and operating costs, while still meeting their production goals. Connected solutions like the Altivar Process 6000 offer sustainable efficiency without adding additional costs so users can monitor energy usage and optimize their overall operation."

The ATV6000 with EcoStruxure Asset Advisor transforms data into insights to help run operations more efficiently and with greater safety, with higher availability and increased profits. As part of EcoStruxure, Schneider Electric's IIoT-enabled, plug-and-play, open, interoperable architecture and platform architecture, this service-oriented drive delivers greater energy management through smart data collection, real-time performance information and lifetime energy monitoring to reduce consumption.

The ATV6000 offers a high level of customisation to meet specific purposes, offering flexibility for modifications and extensions. This means that no matter what the challenge is, electrical or mechanical, Schneider Electric's application specialists and design engineers will provide optimised drives resulting in Capex and Opex savings.

The digital capabilities and mechanical characteristics of the ATV6000 also ensure improved operator efficiency, fast and easy onsite maintenance operations, easy troubleshooting with dynamic QR codes and comfortable usability with the 10inch Magelis HMI. Furthermore, the ATV6000's modular architecture and easy front access design provide simple parts replacement, quicker maintenance, and reduced spare part stock references.
