Drive unit with integrated, decentralized inverter

Decentralized Drive Technology MOVI-C® — MOVIMOT® advanced drive unit

MOVIMOT^® advanced complements existing MOVI‑C^® products in terms of functionality and consistency and extends the range of possible applications for our decentralized drive technology, which has been proving its worth for decades.

The MOVIMOT^® advanced drive unit consists of a decentralized inverter and an asynchronous motor from the DRN.. series.

Integrating an energy-efficient DRN.. asynchronous motor with the new, decentralized inverter from the MOVI‑C^® modular automation system means the decentralized drive unit achieves the maximum system efficiency IES2 to IEC 61800-9-2. The integrated digital interface ensures quick, easy and convenient startup, even with the widest range of gearmotor options.

The MOVIMOT^® advanced drive unit is our all-rounder that can be adapted precisely to meet your needs. MOVIMOT^® advanced can be combined with all standard gear units in series 7 and 9 for versatile and flexible use. It's a true all-rounder for numerous intelligent logistics applications.

- DFC/DSI: Up to 4 digital inputs and up to 2 digital inputs or outputs
- DBC: 4 digital inputs / 1 relay output and 1 analog input (0 – 10 V, 0 – 20 mA, 4 – 20 mA)
- DAC: 4 digital inputs / 1 relay output
Overload capacity up to 210%
- Prevents oversizing in static operation
- Reduces installed size of necessary supply infrastructure
- Avoids overloading thanks to integrated safety mechanisms
