ATV320U07M2C — Schneider Electric Altivar 320 Machine Drive
The Schneider Electric Altivar 320 is a versatile machine drive covering 0.18 kW to 22 kW on single-phase 200–240 V and three-phase 200–500 V supply, purpose-engineered for OEM machine builders who require embedded safety functions and flexible communication as standard features rather than add-ons. The ATV320's defining differentiator is its built-in SIL 2 / PLd Safe Torque Off (STO) and Safe Stop 1 (SS1) functions — safety capabilities that competing drives in this power class typically require an external safety relay to achieve. This directly reduces BOM cost and panel space for machine builders pursuing CE Machinery Directive compliance under EN ISO 13849-1.
The ATV320 supports Modbus RTU, CANopen, and Ethernet via the integrated communication port, with optional cards for PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet — covering virtually every fieldbus protocol used by Saudi Arabia's international machine integrators. The drive's I/O expansion capability via add-on cartridges provides additional digital inputs, relay outputs, and encoder feedback without external hardware, making it practical for complex multi-speed machine automation without a dedicated controller in the drive cabinet. Scalar and sensorless vector control modes are both available, with the vector mode delivering 200% starting torque for high-inertia loads.
In Saudi Arabia, the Altivar 320 KSA serves the growing OEM machinery sector as Vision 2030 industrial programmes stimulate local manufacturing investment. Saudi-assembled packaging lines, filling machines, printing equipment, and industrial automation systems increasingly incorporate the ATV320 for its safety certification and communication flexibility. System integrators in Jeddah and Riyadh select it for machine retrofits where the existing panel infrastructure requires a drive with multiple fieldbus options in a single compact unit.
Razz Middle East stocks ATV320 drives from 0.18 kW to 15 kW and provides full technical support including safety function commissioning, fieldbus setup, and I/O expansion configuration for OEM and retrofit machine projects across Saudi Arabia.

Key Features & Benefits
- Built-in STO (Safe Torque Off) and SS1 (Safe Stop 1) certified to SIL 2 / PLd eliminates the need for an external safety relay in most machine guarding applications, directly reducing BOM cost for OEM machine builders.
- Integrated Modbus RTU and CANopen communication with optional PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet cards covers every major fieldbus protocol used in Saudi Arabia's internationally sourced machine installations.
- I/O expansion cartridges add digital inputs, relay outputs, and encoder feedback directly to the drive body without external modules, enabling complex multi-speed and closed-loop control without a separate PLC.
- 200% starting torque in sensorless vector mode allows reliable starting of high-inertia loads such as loaded conveyors, mixers, and centrifuges without oversizing the motor.
- Single-phase and three-phase input compatibility in the 0.18–2.2 kW range provides installation flexibility for machine builders targeting both industrial three-phase and commercial single-phase supply territories.
- Drive parameters stored in a plug-in memory card enable instant drive replacement without re-commissioning, reducing machine downtime at customer sites where engineering support is remote.
- Compact book-style format with optional flat or book mounting allows side-by-side multi-axis installations in OEM machine control cabinets with minimum wiring length between axes.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Packaging line multi-axis conveyor and servo-style indexing drives at Saudi food and FMCG factories in MODON industrial zones, where STO safety certification satisfies CE Machinery Directive requirements for guard-interlock systems.
- Printing and label application machine drives at commercial print and packaging facilities in Jeddah and Riyadh, where CANopen synchronisation between axes maintains register accuracy at full production speed.
- Filling and capping machine drives at beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, where 200% starting torque ensures reliable restart of viscous product-loaded filling heads after emergency stops.
- Textile and garment machinery speed control at Saudi clothing manufacturers, where multi-preset speeds via digital inputs match material feed rates to cutter and stitch speeds without PLC involvement.
- Woodworking and panel processing machine drives at Saudi furniture OEMs supplying the ROSHN and other housing development projects, where compact panel size reduces machine weight for transport.
- Water treatment dosing and chemical injection pump drives at industrial facilities in Jubail and Yanbu, where PROFIBUS integration connects to the plant DCS for remote flow setpoint control.
- HVAC equipment OEM drives at Saudi heating and ventilation equipment manufacturers building for export, where multiple fieldbus options enable the same drive platform to serve different export market automation standards.
