LEGACY PLATFORM REVIEW
Use this table for identification and inquiry preparation only; it does not imply a one-for-one replacement.
| Original range | Original use | Review direction | Must verify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Altivar 08 | Earlier compact drive | ATV12 | Re-verify motor current, mounting dimensions and I/O |
| Altivar 11 | Low-power simple machines | ATV12 | Not a one-to-one mechanical-size replacement |
| Altivar 16 / 18 | Early compact drive | ATV12 or ATV320 | Re-select by function and motor current |
| Altivar 21 | Earlier HVAC drive | ATV212 or ATH600 | Confirm the BMS protocol and harmonic characteristics |
| Altivar 31 / 31C | Machine drive in the 0.18-15 kW class | ATV320; ATV12 may be considered for simple loads | Re-verify I/O, braking, communication and dimensions |
| Altivar 312 | Classic machine drive | ATV320 | Communication cards, logic functions and parameters cannot be copied directly |
| Altivar 312 Solar | Earlier PV pumping drive | Altivar Solar | Recompute the PV array voltage and pump curve |
| Altivar 32 | Machine drive | ATV320 | Verify safety functions, communication and mounting dimensions |
| Altivar 58 | Earlier industrial drive | ATV900/ATV340, depending on the load | Re-select by constant-torque, closed-loop and braking requirements |
| Altivar 61 | Pump/fan and variable-torque | ATV600 or ATH600 | Confirm process communication, bypass, harmonics and protection degree |
| ATV61 Plus / Plus-LH / Q | High-power enclosed, low-harmonic or water-cooled | ATV660/680 or an ATV600 engineered system | Requires project-specific replacement; do not size by power alone |
| Altivar 66 / 68 | Earlier industrial drive | ATV900/ATV600 | Re-select according to load type |
| Altivar 71 | High-performance heavy duty | ATV900 or ATV340 | Re-verify encoder, braking, safety and communication |
| ATV71 Plus / Plus-LH / Q | High-power enclosed, low-harmonic or water-cooled | ATV960/980 or an ATV900 engineered system | Requires project-specific replacement |
| ATV303 | Simple machines, 0.37-11 kW | ATV305/ATV310/ATV320 | Select by country of sale, function and price tier |
| ATV212 | Classic HVAC, 0.75-75 kW | ATH600 (for new projects) | Verify BMS, EMC, protection and harmonic functions |
| Altivar Field Drive | Earlier outdoor drive system | Altivar Outdoor Drive | Re-engineer based on the underlying VFD, enclosure and bypass configuration |
| Altivar Plus Drive | Earlier enclosed drive system | Altivar Process Drive Systems | Re-engineer by input, output, harmonics, bypass and cooling |
| Altivar Lift | Lift dedicated | Project-specific replacement | Confirm the traction machine, encoder, brake and safety standards |

RANGE SUMMARY
APPLICATIONS

Size the drive against load profile, speed range, continuous duty and energy objectives.

Match motor type, dynamic response, braking, safety and fieldbus requirements.

Confirm environment, enclosure, communications, bypass and asset-management requirements.

Begin with the existing drive nameplate, motor data, interfaces and installation space.
