SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX61B0055-5A3-4-0T | 5.5kW Application Version Inverter

Modern industrial motion control requires high precision, integrated safety features, and flexible drive architectures. The SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX61B0055-5A3-4-0T Drive is an advanced application-version inverter engineered for complex multi-axis motion and precise speed regulation. Operating on a 3-phase 380–500V AC power supply, it delivers 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) of rated motor power with a 12.5A output current and an apparent power capacity of 8.7 kVA.

Integrated IPOSplus® Positioning and Electronic Camming

As an application version of the MOVIDRIVE® B series, the SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX61B0055-5A3-4-0T Drive comes equipped with built-in positioning capabilities that minimize the need for external motion controllers.

• IPOSplus® Sequence Control: Onboard positioning software executes complex motion sequences directly within the drive.

• Electronic Cam & Synchronization: Built-in electronic camming supports multi-axis synchronization and smooth motion profiling.

• Versatile Control Modes: Supports Voltage Flux Control (VFC), Current Flux Control (CFC), and Servo control for both open-loop speed control and high-dynamic closed-loop positioning.

Functional Safety and Modular System Design

Safety compliance and hardware scalability are central to the architecture of the SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX61B0055-5A3-4-0T Drive.

• Integrated STO (Safe Torque Off): Fully compliant with EN ISO 13849-1 Performance Level d (PL d), ensuring safe torque elimination without requiring external mechanical contactors.

• Modular Feedback & Communication: Features option slots for encoder feedback cards and industrial communication modules (such as PROFIBUS, PROFINET, or EtherNet/IP).

• Compact Size 2 Design: Enclosed in an IP20 panel-mountable housing (105 × 335 × 294 mm, ~6.6 kg) with forced-air cooling for reliable thermal performance from 0°C to +50°C.

Primary Industrial Applications

• Automated Packaging Machinery: Delivers precise servo-level motion synchronization for labeling and wrapping equipment.

• Automated Material Handling: Manages precise positioning in automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS).

• Multi-Axis Textile Machinery: Utilizes internal synchronous operation for coordinated fiber and fabric processing.

• Pumps & Ventilation Systems: Employs standard VFC mode for energy-efficient fluid and airflow regulation.
