Altivar Process - Enhanced Drive ruggedness Asset management
Extended temperature range and environmental

protection:
• 50°C ambient for continuous operation
• Up to 60°C with de-rating
• 3C3 chemical classification
• 3S3 mechanical classification
Advantages:
• Better resistance to the atmospheric conditions
• Robustness
• Suitable for applications on the most severe conditions

Altivar Process - Enhanced Drive ruggedness

Altivar Process - Monitor Pump Operation State and Efficiency
Pump curves embedded:

• Easy to set
• Embed 5 points from pump curve and assess efficiency
Advantages:
• Monitor [Head vs Flow], [Power vs Flow], [Efficiency vs
Flow] and [Power vs speed]
• Sensor-less Flow Estimation with Head Vs Flow curve or
Power Vs Flow curve
• Monitor outlet pressure, inlet pressure, water level,
• Raise alarms according to actual status
Optimised Energy Consumption for Water Applications

Altivar Process - Energy Monitoring Energy management
Smart Metering:
• Energy consumption information with accuracy >95%
• Energy dashboard from keypad to situational awareness
dashboard (SCADA, DCS, mobile device)
• Cumulated consumed energy & estimated energy bill over
different periods of time
Benefit from:
• Monitor energy consumption, detect the abnormality in power
consumption (too high/low )
• Monitor typical KPI: (kWh/m3) or kWh/mWc/m3
• Anticipate maintenance, optimize operation process and save
operation cost
• Easily generate consumed energy report and make pointed
improvement
Altivar Process - Embedded Webserver Process optimization
Simple monitoring:
• Embedded webserver including the dashboard, display,
diagnostics, drive and set up with any browser on
smartphone, laptop, tablet….
• One click connection, no IP address to set
Advantages:
• Easy access to process information
• Monitoring data customization
• Get access to all the operation status
• Fully customizable

Altivar Process - Cybersecurity Achilles Level 2 Asset management
Intelligent Drive and Cybersecurity:

• Assess the network robustness of industrial devices and
certify that they meet a comprehensive set of
requirements.
Advantages:
• Better communicate network robustness expectations
• Reduce costs associated with comparing claims of
system robustness and security
• Ensure your systems and networks meet current and
emerging international cyber security standards (e.g.
ISASP99) and government regulations (e.g.
NERC/CIP).
