ATV340U40N4E — Schneider Electric Altivar 340 Machine Drive
The Schneider Electric Altivar 340 is a performance machine drive covering 0.37 kW to 90 kW on 380–480 V three-phase supply, engineered for demanding OEM applications requiring precise motor control, embedded CANopen communication, and advanced safety functions. The ATV340 builds on the ATV320 platform with higher power ratings, a graphical display with motor control tuning tools, and Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Machine Expert connectivity for seamless integration into Modicon PLC-based automation systems. It supports both asynchronous induction motors and synchronous permanent magnet motors, giving machine designers flexibility to use higher-efficiency PM motors where energy performance is critical.
The ATV340 delivers sensorless flux vector control with up to 200% starting torque and speed regulation accuracy of ±0.01% with encoder feedback — performance that matches traditional servo drives on many constant-torque machine axes while remaining far less expensive. The built-in safety function set includes STO, SS1, SS2, SOS, SLS, SDI, and SMS certified to SIL 3 / PLe, making the ATV340 suitable for the most demanding machinery safety applications without a dedicated safety PLC module. The integrated active front end option on larger frames reduces supply harmonic distortion to below 5% THDi, satisfying IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-12 requirements on sensitive supply networks.
In Saudi Arabia, the ATV340 KSA is the drive of choice for complex machine builders serving the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and advanced manufacturing sectors. SABIC's equipment qualification programmes include the ATV340 as an approved drive for precision machinery in Jubail and Yanbu chemical complexes. NEOM's advanced manufacturing hub and the emerging Saudi defence and aerospace manufacturing cluster in Riyadh are early adopters of ATV340-driven machine tools and robotic systems.
Razz Middle East provides ATV340 engineering support for complex machine integration projects, including EcoStruxure Machine Expert configuration, safety function validation, PM motor auto-tuning, and harmonic analysis services for sensitive supply networks across Saudi Arabia.

Key Features & Benefits
- Safety function set including STO, SS1, SS2, SOS, SLS, SDI, and SMS certified to SIL 3 / PLe satisfies the most stringent machinery safety requirements without a dedicated safety PLC, reducing system cost and complexity.
- Synchronous permanent magnet motor support alongside standard asynchronous motor control allows machine designers to adopt IE4-class PM motors for superior energy efficiency without changing the drive platform.
- Sensorless flux vector control delivering 200% starting torque with ±0.01% speed regulation (encoder) replaces traditional servo drives on constant-torque machine axes at significantly lower cost.
- EcoStruxure Machine Expert integration enables single-tool programming of Modicon PLC logic and ATV340 drive parameters, reducing engineering time for complex multi-axis machine projects.
- Active front end option reduces supply harmonics below 5% THDi, meeting IEEE 519 requirements for installation on sensitive electrical networks in petrochemical complexes and data centre facilities.
- Graphical display with motor control tuning oscilloscope function allows in-situ current and speed waveform analysis without external instrumentation, speeding up machine commissioning and fault diagnosis.
- Parameter cloning via memory card or USB enables rapid drive replacement during production without re-commissioning, minimising unplanned downtime at remote or continuous-process Saudi manufacturing sites.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Precision conveyor and indexing drives in pharmaceutical packaging lines at SABIC-approved manufacturing facilities in Jubail, where SIL 3 safety certification satisfies process safety management audit requirements.
- Machine tool spindle and axis drives at NEOM's advanced manufacturing hub, where PM motor support and encoder feedback achieve CNC-class speed accuracy at a fraction of dedicated servo drive cost.
- Winding and unwinding tension control drives in flexible packaging and laminating machinery, where the drive's closed-loop torque mode maintains constant web tension during acceleration and deceleration.
- Extruder screw drive and die temperature zone control drives in polymer and rubber processing at Jubail petrochemical plants, where active front end reduces harmonic loading on sensitive plant power systems.
- Centrifuge and separation equipment drives in petrochemical laboratories and production facilities, where the full safety function set enables safe-speed monitoring during door interlock cycles.
- Robotic cell auxiliary drives and material handling conveyors at Saudi defence and aerospace manufacturing facilities in Riyadh, where EcoStruxure integration enables unified machine control architecture.
- Paper and corrugated packaging machine drives at Saudi paper manufacturers, where the 90 kW top rating covers main section drives while maintaining consistent motion quality across the machine train.
