⚠️ Product Lifecycle

End of Life (EOL). No new production from OEM; スペアパーツ & repair service available until 2028-03-31 (domestic version service period subject to minor differences). Not recommended for new projects; existing units can be repaired or replaced with second-hand units.

🔁 Recommended Replacement Models

1. ATV930D37N4Z: ATV930 high-end vector drive, direct counterpart to ATV71, 37kW frame, 頑丈な, suitable for hoisting/winch and other demanding applications
2. ATV340D30N4E: New generation ATV340 with Ethernet, cost-effective option for general heavy-duty machinery

Replacement Note: ATV71 parameters cannot be migrated directly to ATV930/ATV340. Reconfiguration via SoMove software is required. IO terminal definitions, braking units and encoder options need verification.

📌 Options & メンテナンスノート

1. Graphical keypad: VW3A1101 (別売り, not included for Z version)
2. Encoder card: VW3A3401/VW3A3402 (for closed-loop vector control)
3. ブレーキユニット: External braking unit + resistor required for frequent start/stop or overhauling loads
4. Minimum applicable motor: ≧7.5kW (0.25 × inverter rated power). Motor protection is unreliable below this rating; no-load test only allowed briefly under V/F mode.

❗ Quick Reference for Common Faults (ATV71 Series)

OSF: 過電圧. DC bus >535V at stop; check supply voltage and braking resistors

オルフ: モーターの過負荷; verify motor nameplate current and thermal overload parameters

OHF: Inverter overheating; blocked heat sink, aging cooling fan, excessive ambient temperature

OPF: Output phase loss; inspect motor cables, terminals and motor winding continuity

パフォーマンス

Low tension fluctuation during acceleration/deceleration to avoid fabric stretching. Near-zero tension dyeing improves fabric quality.

General Selection & 交換ガイドライン

1. ATV71HD30N4Z is a heavy-duty unit, 衝撃荷重に適しています, high inertia and torque-critical equipment. ATV61 is generally selected for light-duty fans and pumps.
2. Not recommended for new projects due to EOL status. Priority replacement for retrofit: ATV930D30N4. ATV340D30N4E for general machinery.
3. パラメータの移行: ATV71 parameters cannot be imported directly into ATV930. SoMove only supports parameter comparison. IO terminals, braking logic and encoder card hardware differ and require separate commissioning.

General Maintenance & Replacement Notes for Food & 飲料業界

1. 環境保護: Inverter must be fitted inside independent control cabinet, never mounted directly in washdown areas. Cabinet heater recommended to reduce condensation from CIP cleaning.
2. Safety Requirements: Mandatory safe stop for food machinery. Built-in SIL2 safe stop was a key reason for widespread adoption of ATV71 on food equipment.
3. 置換選択: ATV71 discontinued. Priority retrofit unit: ATV930D30N4. ATV610 can be used for general process pumps and fans, while ATV930 preferred for heavy-duty mixing, homogenizing and chain drives.
4. Migration Reminder: ATV71 parameters cannot be imported directly into ATV930. トルク制御, safety circuit and encoder card hardware logic differ and require separate commissioning.
5. Frequent Faults: Corroded terminals in humid environment cause OPF output phase loss; ほこり + condensation clog heat sink and trigger OHF overheat; material jamming leads to OLF overload.
