Your benefits

Consistency
The uniform MOVI-C® portfolio makes it very easy to decide between control cabinet and decentralized installation.

Modular diversity
You can use the MOVIMOT® flexible decentralized inverter to control any type of motor.

Simple installation
Digital motor integration and a single-cable solution make life easy.

Wide range of options
The perfect solution for every requirement.

Reduced supply infrastructure
An overload capacity of up to 300% of IN.

For mounting the inverter away from the motor

We have based the further development of our decentralized product portfolio on our MOVI‑C® modular automation system. MOVIMOT ® flexible enables the decentralized inverter to be installed close to the motor in your system. With MOVIMOT® flexible, it's up to you whether you opt for a synchronous or asynchronous motor.

MOVIMOT® flexible is now available in two versions . Unlike the MMF1. variant, the MMF3. can be equipped with additional options such as a load disconnector (with or without integrated line protection), an M12 engineering interface or keypad mounting. A key switch with feedback contact can also be integrated.

The current configuration of the decentralized inverter (size 1) can supply nominal output currents of 2.0, 2.5 and 3.2 A as well as 4.0 and 5.5 A for 0.55 – 3.0 kW performance classes (depending on motor type). Additional performance classes are in the pipeline.

Simple connection

Digital motor integration means you need just one single cable to connect MOVIMOT® flexible to the drive. The intelligent, digital connection using a standardized hybrid cable enables you to supply power and also transmit data between the decentralized frequency inverter and motor. As long as the motor is equipped with the MOVILINK® DDI digital data interface, electronic nameplate information and brake/diagnostic data are transmitted directly to the inverter for easy startup.

Tobias Nittel, product manager for decentralized drive technology at SEW‑EURODRIVE:

"The MOVI‑C® modular automation system gives customers the option to implement their application both with inverters in a control cabinet and with drive electronics that are either located close to the motor or integrated into it. What's more, they can do so without noticing any differences in terms of project planning, handling and performance. An essential part of the platform is the digital motor integration. This supports automatic drive train startup and also ensures that various sensor signals can be transmitted from the motor to the electronics without requiring any additional installation work."
