Schneider Altivar 930 AC Drive for High-Performance Motor & Process Control

Industrial motor applications often require precise speed control, reliable torque performance, energy visibility and seamless integration with automation systems. The Schneider Altivar 930 AC Drive is part of the Altivar Process ATV900 family, developed for demanding industrial applications where motor control and process performance need to work together.

Schneider's ATV930 range covers a broad selection of power and voltage configurations. Depending on the model, the drive can provide embedded power measurement, energy monitoring, process monitoring, asset protection, diagnostics and industrial communication capabilities.

We Tech Power Solutions Ltd supplies Schneider Electric Altivar drives for OEMs, machine builders, system integrators, panel builders and industrial users across Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India and Gulf markets.

What Is Schneider Altivar 930?

The Altivar 930 (ATV930) is an industrial variable speed drive designed to control asynchronous and synchronous motors in demanding applications.

It is more than a basic motor-speed controller. The ATV930 can become part of the wider automation architecture by providing motor control, process information, diagnostics and communication with PLCs, SCADA systems and other industrial equipment.

Depending on the selected configuration, applications can benefit from:

• Variable motor-speed control

• Controlled acceleration and deceleration

• Process monitoring

• Energy measurement

• Asset monitoring

• Equipment protection

• Drive diagnostics

• Communication with automation systems

• Application-specific control functions

• Maintenance information

Designed for Demanding Industrial Applications

Schneider positions the Altivar Process ATV900 family for demanding applications, with the range covering approximately 0.75 kW to 800 kW.

Within this family, ATV930 configurations are available across different voltage and power classes.

Examples include:

• 0.75 kW, 200–240 V

• 1.5 kW, 200–240 V

• 1.5 kW, 400–480 V

• 3 kW, 200–240 V

• 2.2 kW, 500–690 V

• 90 kW, 400–480 V

• 132 kW, 380–480 V

• 250 kW, 400–480 V

These examples demonstrate the breadth of the ATV930 family; the exact available rating depends on the model, voltage class and configuration.

Motor Control Meets Process Information

A conventional drive primarily focuses on controlling motor speed and torque. The Altivar 930 adds process-oriented capabilities that can provide operators and maintenance teams with more information about the motor-driven equipment.

Energy Measurement

Applicable ATV930 models provide embedded power measurement and an energy dashboard.

This can provide visibility into electrical consumption and help users analyse motor-driven equipment.

Process Monitoring

Schneider identifies embedded process monitoring and control as a feature of applicable ATV930 products.

This makes the drive relevant for applications where motor behaviour is directly connected to process performance.

Asset Monitoring

ATV930 models also include functions for asset monitoring and protection, helping users monitor the operation of connected equipment.

Drift Monitoring

Applicable configurations provide drift-monitoring functions that can support maintenance and process supervision.

Stop & Go Function for Energy-Conscious Operation

Selected ATV930 configurations include a Stop and Go function designed to reduce energy consumption when the motor does not need to remain continuously active.

This can be useful in processes where equipment operation changes according to production demand or process conditions.

The actual energy-saving result depends on the application, load profile, motor, operating cycle and control strategy.

Communication with Industrial Automation Systems

The Altivar 930 can be integrated into industrial automation networks through built-in communication interfaces and optional communication modules.

A referenced ATV930D90N4 configuration supports:

• Ethernet/IP

• Modbus Serial

• Modbus TCP

Optional communication modules can support architectures involving:

• PROFINET

• PROFIBUS DP

• EtherCAT

• DeviceNet

• CANopen

• Ethernet Powerlink

Additional I/O and encoder modules are also available for supported configurations.

This enables the drive to exchange operating information with:

• PLCs

• HMIs

• SCADA systems

• Industrial controllers

• Process-control systems

• Remote monitoring platforms

The exact communication capability depends on the selected drive and option modules.

Useful for Schneider PLC-Based Automation

The ATV930 can be integrated into automation systems where the PLC manages the overall process and the drive handles motor control.

A typical architecture may include:

PLC → Industrial Network → Altivar 930 → Motor

The PLC can manage process logic while the ATV930 provides controlled motor operation and returns drive/process information to the automation system.

This approach can be useful for:

• Pumping systems

• Fans and blowers

• Compressors

• Conveyors

• Process machinery

• Industrial production equipment

Built-In DC Choke

Schneider states that Altivar Process drives come standard with DC chokes. For 400/480 V ATV...N4 configurations, the standard DC-choke arrangement depends on the frame size.

This is an important consideration when planning the incoming power arrangement.

However, the complete electrical installation should still be designed according to Schneider's installation documentation and the specific drive model.

Braking Unit on Applicable Configurations

Braking requirements vary according to the machine and load.

Some ATV930 configurations include a braking unit. For example, Schneider lists the ATV930D90N4 as a 90 kW, 400–480 V drive with a braking unit and IP21 enclosure.

Braking selection should consider:

• Motor power

• Load inertia

• Required stopping time

• Acceleration/deceleration cycle

• Regenerative energy

• Mechanical load characteristics

Do not assume that every ATV930 reference includes the same braking arrangement.

Applications of Altivar 930 AC Drive

Pumps

ATV930 can be used in industrial pumping applications where controlled motor speed and process monitoring are required.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial water pumps

• Process pumps

• Circulation systems

• Utility pumping

• Water-transfer equipment

Fans & Blowers

Variable-speed operation can help match motor operation with process demand.

Applications include:

• Industrial ventilation

• Cooling systems

• Process fans

• Air-handling equipment

Compressors

ATV930 can be specified for compressor applications when the motor, load profile and drive rating are correctly matched.

Conveyors

The drive can provide controlled acceleration, deceleration and speed regulation for conveyor systems.

Process Machinery

The combination of motor control, process information and communication makes ATV930 suitable for selected process-equipment applications.
