Description

1.1 Product Overview

MDX61B0014-503-4-50 is a high‑performance, 1.5 kW MOVIDRIVE MDX61B series AC drive by SEW‑EURODRIVE. It is designed for three‑phase asynchronous/synchronous motors, supporting open‑loop V/f, closed‑loop vector (CFC), and servo control. The unit includes an integrated brake chopper for four‑quadrant operation and a Class C2 EMC filter for compliance with industrial EMC standards. The ‑50 suffix indicates a coated PCB version for enhanced resistance to dust, moisture, and harsh environments.

1.2 Model Decoding

  • MDX61B: High‑performance drive with two option slots (encoder + fieldbus).

  • 0014: Rated motor power = 1.5 kW.

  • 503: 5 = 380–500 V AC; 0 = no integrated EMC filter (external filter required); 3 = three‑phase input.

  • 4: Integrated brake chopper (four‑quadrant operation).

  • 50: Conformal coated PCB, extended temperature range, and enhanced protection for harsh environments.

1.3 Safety Symbols

  • DANGER: High voltage inside—risk of electric shock.

  • WARNING: Potential personal injury or equipment damage.

  • CAUTION: Minor injury or component fault risk.

  • NOTE: Important operation/maintenance tips.

1.4 Intended Use

Speed, torque, and position control for 1.5 kW three‑phase motors. Suitable for conveyors, packaging machines, material handling, pumps, fans, and general automation. The coated PCB makes it ideal for dust, humidity, or mild corrosive conditions. Supports IPOSplus® motion functions: electronic cam, master‑slave synchronization, flying restart, and DC braking.

1.5 Warranty

Valid only if installation, commissioning, and operation follow this manual and SEW‑EURODRIVE guidelines. Damage from misuse, overload, unauthorized modification, or operation outside environmental specifications voids warranty.
