Schneider Electric VW3A1113

The **VW3A1113** from Schneider Electric is a **text display terminal** specifically designed for variable frequency drives (VFDs). It is mainly used for configuring, monitoring, and operating Schneider's Altivar series VFDs (such as the ATV340, ATV610, ATV930, etc.).

1. Product Positioning and Functions

- **Purpose**: Serving as a human-machine interface (HMI) for VFDs, it supports functions including parameter setting, real-time status display, fault diagnosis, and configuration file backup/restoration.

- **Compatible Models**: Suitable for series such as the ATV340 (machine-type VFD), ATV610 (general-purpose VFD), and ATV930 (high-performance vector VFD).

- **Core Functions**:

  - A 2-line, 128x64-pixel backlit LCD screen that supports multi-language display (e.g., Chinese, English, etc.).

  - Stores multiple VFD configuration files, which can be quickly copied to other devices.

  - Supports remote installation (requires a separate purchase of a remote installation kit with IP43 protection rating).

2. Technical Specifications

- **Physical Characteristics**:

  - Dimensions: Approximately 90mm (width) × 50mm (height) × 30mm (depth), with a weight of about 200g.

  - Protection Rating: IP21 (dust-proof, protected against vertical dripping water), suitable for installation inside control cabinets.

  - Operating Temperature: -15°C to +50°C.

- **Interfaces and Communication**:

  - Connects directly to the VFD via a dedicated interface and supports the Modbus communication protocol (requires support from the VFD itself).

- **Power Supply**: Powered by the VFD's internal power source; no additional power supply is needed.

3. Application Scenarios

- **Industrial Automation**: Commonly used in machine tools, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, etc. It simplifies the VFD commissioning process through an intuitive text interface.

- **Energy Efficiency Optimization**: Displays real-time parameters such as motor current and power factor, helping users monitor energy consumption and optimize operating strategies.

- **Fault Troubleshooting**: Enables quick problem localization through fault code prompts, reducing downtime.

4. Price and Procurement

- **Reference Price**: Contact via WhatsApp: 0086-13811255435. The price ranges from RMB 210 to RMB 374.

- **Procurement Channels**: Contact authorized Schneider distributors via WhatsApp: 0086-13811255435.

5. Alternative Models and Discontinuation Status

- **Discontinuation Status**: Based on available information, the **VW3A1113 is not listed as a discontinued model** and is still available for normal procurement.

- **Alternative Solutions**: For higher performance or expanded functions, consider the graphical display terminals配套 with Schneider's new-generation VFDs (e.g., the VW3A31101 has been discontinued, but its alternative models may support more comprehensive interfaces and communication protocols). It is recommended to check for specific alternative models through the **Product Replacement Tool** on Schneider's official website.

6. Usage and Support

- **Configuration Tools**: Works with Schneider's SoMove software or Multi-Loader (VW3A8121) to batch copy parameters or update firmware.

- **Document Download**: The official user manual can be obtained by searching for "VW3A1113" on Schneider Electric's official website, which includes detailed steps for installation, wiring, and parameter setting.

- **Technical Support**: Schneider's customer service team can provide technical support such as configuration guidance and fault troubleshooting.

7. Notes

- **Compatibility**: Ensure compatibility with the VFD model (e.g., the ATV340 requires firmware version support). Some functions may require upgrading the VFD's firmware.

- **Installation Environment**: Avoid use in high-humidity, dusty, or vibrating environments. It is recommended to use a remote installation kit to improve the protection rating.

- **Spare Parts Management**: For long-term equipment use, it is advisable to purchase spare parts in advance to cope with supply chain fluctuations.
