SEW-Eurodrive Parts NZ | MOVIDRIVE MDX61B MOVITRAC MOVIMOT

SEW-Eurodrive Parts, New Zealand

RFQ / SEW-Eurodrive

MDX60B and MDX61B differ by one digit and it decides whether the drive takes option cards at all. The 61B is the option-capable unit; the 60B is not.

SEW is on materials handling and conveying plant across New Zealand. MOVIDRIVE and MOVITRAC drives, MOVIMOT, and the gearmotors they were specified with.

Reference pages

Page	Covers
MOVITRAC B	Type code, the shared front slot, keypad stop response and the UBP11A
MOVIMOT decentralised drives	Hybrid cables, the 24 V requirement, DIP switches and RCD guidance

MOVIDRIVE is covered on this page.

The power is in the code, in tenths of a kilowatt

Consistent across the ranges, with one exception noted below.

Range	Example	Power
MOVIDRIVE	MDX61B0055-5A3-4-00	5.5 kW
MOVITRAC	MC07B0015-5A3-4-00	1.5 kW
MOVIMOT	MM15D-503-00	1.5 kW

On MOVITRAC the smallest frames use their own progression, where 0003 is 0.25 kW and 0005 is 0.55 kW. From about 1.5 kW upward it reads as tenths.

The voltage and phase group

Group	Supply
-2B1	230 V, single phase
-203	230 V, three phase
-5A3	400 to 500 V, three phase
503 on MOVIMOT	380 to 500 V, three phase
233 on MOVIMOT	230 V, three phase

The last digit of the group is the phase count. A 1 is single phase and a 3 is three phase.

60B or 61B decides everything else

The most important thing about a MOVIDRIVE replacement.

Unit	Option cards
MDX60B	No
MDX61B	Yes. Option capable

So a 60B cannot be given a PROFIBUS card or an encoder card later. If the installation needs one, only a 61B will do.

Check the existing unit before quoting, because the two look similar.

Slot conflicts across the ranges

Both drive families restrict what can be fitted together, and in different ways.

Range	Constraint
MOVIDRIVE MDX61B	Cards go in predefined slots, fieldbus in the fieldbus slot
MOVITRAC B	FIO11B, FSC11B/12B and FSE24B share one slot and cannot be used together
MOVITRAC FSC11B	Is itself a shared port. Only one thing connects at a time

The MOVITRAC one catches people. A machine using an analog speed reference cannot also take a communication module in that slot.

Tell us what is fitted and what you want to add, and we will check it before quoting.

MOVIDRIVE option cards

Card	Function	SEW part
DEH11B	HIPERFACE encoder card	824 310 7
DFP21B	PROFIBUS-DP, 12 Mbaud	824 240 2
DFI11B	INTERBUS	824 309 3
DFS12B	PROFIBUS with PROFIsafe
DCS21B, DCS22B, DCS31B, DCS32B	Safety cards
DIO11B	Additional I/O

Cards usually transfer to a replacement drive, which makes the repair cheaper than it first looks. SEW's instruction before fitting or removing one is to de-energise the inverter and switch off both the 24 V DC and the supply voltage. They are not hot-swappable.

The DFP21B is common to MOVITRAC and MOVIDRIVE, so a PROFIBUS card may move between them.

Two parts that are not included

Part	Note
DBG60B keypad	Not in the scope of delivery. Ordered separately
Mounting screws, some arrangements	Not included

The DBM60B is the remote keypad kit: IP65 housing, a DBG60B and a 5 m DKG60B extension cable. That is how a keypad ends up on a cabinet door.

One keypad covers the whole SEW range

Range	Keypad connection
MOVIDRIVE	DBG60B directly
MOVITRAC	DBG60B via FSC11B, or the FBG11B front keypad
MOVIMOT	DBG via the DKG60B adapter on X50

So one DBG60B plus a DKG60B adapter serves a whole site. Worth knowing before buying separate tools for the decentralised drives.

But do not pull a MOVITRAC keypad off a running drive

Removing the FBG11B keypad triggers a stop response.

So you cannot borrow one from a running machine. And a keypad that works loose on a vibrating machine will stop the drive intermittently, which is worth checking before condemning anything.

Where the settings live

Range	On a replacement
MOVITRAC with a UBP11A	Load the parameters from the module
MOVITRAC without one	Reconstruct from the keypad or MOVITOOLS
MOVIDRIVE	Reconstruct, plus the motor data
MOVIMOT	Physical: potentiometer, switches and DIP switches

The UBP11A is the cheapest useful thing to buy

SEW describes the UBP11A parameter module as giving simplified data backup with an option for series startup.

It turns a failed MOVITRAC into a swap, and sets up a line of identical conveyor drives in minutes. No software licence is involved.

If a site runs MOVITRAC and has no UBP11A, that is the first thing to order.

MOVIMOT has no parameter file at all

The configuration is physical: potentiometer f1, switch f2, switch t1 and the DIP switches.

So photograph the settings before removing a unit. They exist nowhere else.

And note that in bus mode the pot and switches are ignored while the DIP switches are still read. Record them regardless of how the drive is controlled.

Startup needs the motor nameplate

The practical reason to photograph the motor as well as the drive.

Parameter	Value
C10	Nominal motor current. Note star or delta
C11	Nominal motor power
C12	Power factor, cos phi
C13	Nominal motor speed

The connection type matters as much as the current. The same motor gives a different nominal current in star and in delta.

SEW also publishes motor and inverter pairing tables, matching each MOVIDRIVE to specific DRN motors in VFC mode. The drive was not chosen on power alone.

Note that SEW motor startup is designed for 4-pole motors. Two-pole and six-pole motors may need a different approach.

Two mounting and compliance points

Part	Why it matters
DMP11B mounting panel	Lets an MDX61B size 2S fit an existing MD_60A size 2 mounting plate. Part 818 398 8
DLB11B touch guard	IP20 on MDX61B sizes 4 and 5 depends on it. Part 823 111 7, 12 pieces

The DMP11B means an obsolete MOVIDRIVE A does not necessarily mean panel work. Ask before quoting a rebuild.

The touch guard is not optional. SEW's instruction is direct: never start the unit if the touch guard is not installed. If a panel has been worked on and the guards were not refitted, that is a finding.

Earth leakage protection

SEW's guidance differs by range and is worth reading carefully.

Range	SEW's instruction
MOVIMOT	Do not use a conventional earth-leakage circuit breaker as a protective device. NH melting fuses or circuit breakers on F11, F12, F13

An inverter produces DC and high-frequency leakage components that a conventional device may fail to trip on, or may nuisance trip on.

That is a design matter for your electrician rather than a parts matter, but it is worth knowing the manufacturer says it.

Derate 20 percent at 500 V

A sizing point SEW repeats throughout.

Mains and output currents must be reduced by 20 percent from the nominal values at 3 x AC 500 V.

So a drive rated for a motor at 400 V will not carry the same motor at 500 V. The nameplate figure is not the figure at the top of the voltage range.

Supplies that must be external

Three cases where a unit does nothing without a separate 24 V.

Item	Requirement
MC07B...-S0	Must always be supplied by an external 24 V DC unit
Fieldbus options, DFP21B, DFD11B, DFE11B	Must always be supplied externally
MOVIMOT	External 24 V, or an MLU..A or MLG..A option

The fieldbus one explains a common symptom. A drive drops off the bus whenever the mains is switched, even though the network is intact, because the card lost its supply.

Diagnostics before you order

MOVIDRIVE has more built in than most people use.

Tool	What it gives
Integrated fieldbus monitor	The setpoint the drive is actually receiving
Integrated web server	Diagnostics in a standard browser, no software needed
FBG11B keypad	Error memory and reset on MOVITRAC
MOVITOOLS MotionStudio	Full PC access

The fieldbus monitor separates a PLC problem from a drive problem in about a minute, and it is built in.

A PROFIBUS note

Point
The address is in P092, Fieldbus address
An address above 125 causes a bus fault
SEW: entries in the GSD file must not be changed or expanded
A Bus Fault LED that stays on after the master starts can be a GSD revision mismatch, not hardware

Before ordering a replacement

Symptom	Check first
MOVIMOT completely dead	The 24 V supply
MOVITRAC stops for no reason	The keypad seating. Removing it triggers a stop
Drops off the bus when mains is switched	Whether the fieldbus card has its own 24 V
Trips on motor temperature, motor cold	The TF thermistor or TH thermostat and its wiring
Bus fault never clears at startup	The GSD revision
Doing the wrong thing on a network	The fieldbus monitor. It shows the actual setpoint
MOVIMOT close-mounted, odd faults	The hybrid cable. A broken thermal core reads as over-temperature
Noise changed on a MOVIMOT	DIP switch S1/7. It derates by design

What SEW makes

Range	Product
MOVIDRIVE B, MDX60B and MDX61B	Application inverters
MOVIDRIVE A, MD_60A	Earlier generation
MOVITRAC B, MC07B	General purpose inverters
MOVITRAC LT	Compact inverters
MOVIMOT	Gearmotor with integrated inverter
MOVIGEAR	Integrated drive unit
MOVIAXIS	Multi-axis servo
MOVIPRO, MOVIFIT	Decentralised drive electronics
DR, DRN, DRE, DRS, DRP	AC motors
CM, CMP	Servo motors
R, F, K, S, W	Gear units
BMG, BE	Motor brakes
DEH, DFP, DFS, DCS, DIO, FIO, FSC, FSE	Option and front modules

The gear unit letter

Letter	Gear type
R	Helical, inline
F	Parallel shaft helical
K	Helical bevel, right angle
S	Helical worm
W	Spiroplan

The gear type is not interchangeable, because it sets the mounting orientation and shaft arrangement. A K unit is a right angle drive and an R unit is not.

Lifting applications

Worth flagging because SEW does, with an explicit warning: danger of fatal injury if the hoist falls.

A drive on a hoist or lifting axis is doing safety-relevant work. Brake control, brake monitoring and the parameter set all matter in a way they do not on a conveyor.

Tell us if the drive is on a lifting application. Whether a substitution is valid belongs with whoever holds the machine's safety assessment.

How to give us what we need

The full type code, including the phase digit, any S0 suffix and everything after a slash on MOVIMOT.

What option or front modules are fitted, and whether you are keeping them.

The motor and gear unit nameplate. SEW specifies them as a system and commissioning needs the motor data.

Whether you have a UBP11A or the parameter set.

Photos of the MOVIMOT switch and DIP settings, before you remove the unit.

Whether the drive is on a lifting application.

What we can supply

Current production. MOVIDRIVE, MOVITRAC, MOVIMOT, MOVIGEAR and MOVIAXIS, option and front modules, keypads, UBP11A parameter modules, mounting panels, touch guards, hybrid cables, chokes and filters, braking resistors, and SEW motors and gear units. Quoted with a delivered lead time.

Discontinued. MOVIDRIVE A and MD_60A, earlier MOVITRAC and MOVIMOT C generations. Surplus and tested used, which keeps an existing machine on its original parameter set and mounting.

Modules and cables separately. Often the actual fault, and always cheaper than a drive.

A sensible SEW spares holding

Item	Why
A UBP11A parameter module	Turns a MOVITRAC failure into a swap
One DBG60B plus a DKG60B adapter	Covers MOVIDRIVE, MOVITRAC and MOVIMOT
A USB11A interface adapter	Without one nobody can connect a PC
Hybrid cables	The part that takes abuse on decentralised installations
Touch guards	Cheap, and required

We buy SEW

MOVIDRIVE, MOVITRAC and MOVIMOT units hold real value, and so do option cards.

Keep option and front modules with their drives, hybrid cables with their MOVIMOTs, and gearmotors with their nameplates. Matched sets are worth considerably more. See Sell To Us.

Common questions

Can you get a part that is not listed on your site?
Usually. The site shows what we hold, not what we can source.

What is the difference between MDX60B and MDX61B?
The 61B takes option cards. The 60B does not.

Does the drive come with a keypad?
No. The DBG60B is ordered separately.

Can I fit a new drive on my old mounting plate?
Sometimes. The DMP11B mounting panel lets an MDX61B size 2S go onto an MD_60A size 2 plate.

Why is my MOVIMOT completely dead?
Check the 24 V supply first. Mains alone is not enough.

Do you supply used equipment?
Yes, where new is not available, tested and clearly described.

What is the lead time?
Ex stock items ship the next working day within New Zealand. We give you a firm lead time with the quote.

Do you quote in NZD?
Yes, in NZD including GST for New Zealand customers.

Send us your type codes
