Control of complex applications made easy
MOVIDRIVE® application inverter
Is all inverter technology equal? Our MOVIDRIVE® application inverter is fit for the future. If you were to strip down your machinery and plant technology, you'd be certain to find inverter technology inside. Inverters have, for decades, been used to control and monitor drive technology in applications such as conveyor lines, corner transfer units, storage/retrieval systems and many more plant machinery modules.
MOVI‑C® inverter technology
When developing our new MOVI‑C® modular automation system, one of the key considerations was whether current inverter technology will cope with the automation tasks of the next few decades. One approach would have been to take tried-and-tested components that are technically sound and, most importantly, reliable and make them even better.
Instead, we chose to completely re-engineer inverter technology and take automation technology based on MOVI‑C® to a whole new level. After all, we believe the future of automation is mapped out in every component, including inverter technology. That's why the new MOVI‑C® modular automation system includes new MOVIDRIVE®application inverters. Although the name hasn't changed, the inverters have been completely redeveloped and redesigned. The end result is a new inverter platform for all standard motors.

The benefits for you
- Control any motor
simply by familiarizing yourself with and using one series of inverters - Functional safety comes as standard
from compact devices to modular multi-axis systems with single-axis and double-axis modules
- Quick and easy startup
thanks to the electronic nameplate supplying all gear unit and motor data - Cut costs
and save on operating costs, too, by using regenerative power supply units and energy-saving functions for partial-load operation and standby mode that are available as standard
MOVIDRIVE® is highly versatile
- Hoists
- Saw applications
- Presses
- Collator and top loader
MOVIDRIVE® controls and monitors all types of motors
MOVIDRIVE® application inverters are available as single-axis application inverters with rated outputs of up to 315 kW and as modular multi-axis systems incorporating single-axis and double-axis modules with rated currents of up to 180 A. They exhibit an overload capacity of up to 250% for dynamic motion. Inverter technology "made by SEW‑EURODRIVE" – both as single-axis application inverters and in the modular design – controls and monitors all types of motors, from synchronous and asynchronous AC motors with/without an encoder to asynchronous motors with LSPM technology or synchronous and asynchronous linear motors. Functional safety is, of course, built in and even the basic unit incorporates the STO safety function in PL e. More than 15 additional safety functions can be incorporated using safety option cards.

Quick and easy startup in practice
To get your motor up and running, you can read off and input the type designation on the motor's electronic nameplate. Alternatively, you can also use the electronic catalog in the MOVISUITE® engineering software.
Even motors that are not recognized pose no problem thanks to easy startup using a calibration function. What's more, energy-saving functions such as regenerative power supply units, energy storage units and a standby mode ensure optimum energy efficiency. During breaks in operation, standby mode reduces the power consumption of application inverters by up to 85% – without losing communication with the higher-level PLC.
Applications are put into operation using graphical editors, which make it incredibly easy to create motion functions, and automatic IEC code generation, which is an entry-level sequence programming solution.

Digital motor and data integration
Single-cable technology for power supply and data transfer with digital encoder for synchronous and asynchronous motors
In fact, only one hybrid cable is required and installed here for the data connection between inverter and motor, and the MOVILINK® DDI digital data interface transfers the power, brake and diagnostic data to the motor.

Simple and fast motor startup with MOVILINK DDI
MOVILINK® DDI digital motor integration from the MOVI‑C® modular automation system enables you to connect drives to power and data.
The "Drive" category includes MOVIKIT® software modules that are operated directly on the MOVITRAC® advanced standard inverter:
- MOVIKIT® Positioning Drive: MOVIKIT® Positioning Drive enables positioning applications with a standardized fieldbus interface.
- MOVIKIT® RapidCreepPositioning Drive: MOVIKIT® RapidCreepPositioning Drive is a software module for implementing classic "rapid/creep speed positioning" without a motor encoder.
- MOVIKIT® Velocity Drive: MOVIKIT® Velocity Drive allows you to use applications with velocity control and a standardized fieldbus interface.
Due to the requirements associated with technical standards and situations where humans and machines are working hand in hand, the number of plant areas equipped with functional safety technology is constantly growing. As a result, functional safety is an integral part of any application.
With the MOVISAFE® CS..A safety cards, SEW‑EURODRIVE has made functional safety part and parcel of all MOVI-C® application inverters. STO in PL e is already included in the MOVIDRIVE® basic unit. All higher-level safety functions are achieved by inserting an option card, including all the necessary connections to the inverter technology – encoder, communication and STO. This helps you reduce project costs to what is necessary to achieve the functions you actually need.
Functions in the basic unit
- STO (safe torque off)
- SIL 3 to EN 61800-5-2, EN 61508
- PL e to EN ISO 13849-1
- Can be activated via safe inputs
- Can be activated via safe communication if a CS..A safety card is inserted
- Extremely short response times of 2 ms enable small safety clearances
MOVISAFE® safety card functions
- Five scalable safety cards as appropriate to application requirements
- More than 15 higher-level safety functions can be incorporated by inserting option cards
- Can be inserted retrospectively at any time, with no additional external cables needed
- Also available with an additional multi-encoder input
- Safe communication via PROFIsafe/PROFINET and FSoE – Fail Safe over EtherCAT®
