Part of the Altivar 312 series, this compact drive is designed for asynchronous motors in simple machine applications. With a rated motor power of 0.18 kW (0.25 hp) and an apparent power of 0.6 kVA, the \u003cstrong\u003eATV312H018M2\u003c\/strong\u003e offers essential features for basic speed control. Its single-phase 200-240 V supply, integrated EMC filter, and sensorless flux vector control make it a cost-effective solution compared to larger variable frequency drives. Unlike some competing compact drives, the Schneider ATV312H018M2 includes built-in communication protocols Modbus and CANopen, reducing the need for additional interface modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Schneider ATV312H018M2 is engineered for straightforward motor speed regulation.

For example, in a small conveyor system, its 0.18 kW output can drive a belt at adjustable speeds using the built-in ramp profiles (S, U, or customized). The integrated EMC filter ensures compliance with electromagnetic compatibility standards, reducing interference in sensitive environments. Compared to similarly rated drives, the ATV312H018M2 offers a wider supply voltage range (170-264 V) and a switching frequency adjustable from 2 to 16 kHz, providing flexibility for noise-sensitive applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility and Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Schneider ATV312H018M2 communicates via Modbus RTU (RS485) and CANopen protocols. It supports up to 31 Modbus addresses and 127 CANopen nodes, making it easy to integrate into existing control networks. The physical interface is an RJ45 connector for Modbus\/CANopen, and the drive supports transmission rates up to 1 Mbps for CANopen. For enhanced connectivity, optional communication cards (CANopen daisy chain, DeviceNet, Fipio, Modbus TCP, Profibus DP) are available. This drive is compatible with most PLC brands, including Schneider Electric controllers, making it a versatile choice for OEMs and system integrators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSelection Guide and Purchasing Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore purchasing the Schneider ATV312H018M2, verify the following: Ensure your motor's rated current does not exceed 1.5 A continuous. Confirm the supply voltage is within 200-240 V single-phase. If you require a longer communication distance or additional protocol support, consider ordering the appropriate option card.
