Overview of the Altivar 61 range

The Altivar 61 series is designed for variable-torque drives typical of pumps and fans. It addresses the needs of building operators, infrastructure managers and industrial users seeking stable regulation, reduced mechanical wear and energy optimisation without complex integration. The range architecture focuses on flexible installation, compatibility with numerous communication networks and a broad panel of control functions tailored to fluid processes.

• Optimised control of variable-torque loads : precise speed regulation to match flow and pressure to actual process needs.
• Integration into BMS and automation : interoperability with existing architectures via industrial bus protocols and PLC interface.

The ATV61HU22M3 model is positioned as a reliable solution for modernising HVAC and hydraulic installations, particularly when service continuity and control of operating costs are operational priorities.

Industrial applications

Thanks to its sensorless vector control and fluid-specific functions, this drive integrates into multiple environments where stable air or water flow is critical to service quality. Maintenance managers and system integrators use it to secure regulation, reduce mechanical stress and improve the energy efficiency of rotating equipment associated with utilities.

• Ventilation and air handling : air handling units, supply and extraction in industrial and commercial buildings.
• Circulation pumps : chilled water networks, heating loops, process cooling circuits.
• Cooling towers and air-cooled heat exchangers : controlling fans to stabilise temperature and consumption.
• Booster stations and water distribution : maintaining pressure and adapting flow to demand.
• Infrastructure : tunnels, car parks, technical stations, where speed modulation improves comfort and safety.

Integration and communication

Connectivity via Modbus, CANopen, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet and PROFIBUS DP makes it easy to integrate the ATV61HU22M3 into existing automation architectures, from programmable logic controllers to building management systems. This interoperability enables centralized supervision, reliable data exchange and the implementation of control strategies consistent with site requirements.

In operation, remote control over an industrial network can be combined with local control where needed for maintenance tasks or on-site adjustments. The overall aim is to secure commissioning, simplify parameter tuning and maintain availability as processes evolve. The control functions available—around fifty within the range—provide regulation scenarios suited to fluid loads without requiring complex additional devices.
