Description
The Schneider Electric VW3A1101 is a Remote Graphic Terminal (RGT) / Keypad for Altivar ATV312, ATV32, ATV630/650 (Machine / Process) and legacy ATV61/71 series drives, allowing you to mount a copy of the drive’s local HMI display/keypad remotely on a door or panel (up to 3 m / 5 m cable — depends on cable part) while keeping the drive inside the enclosure. It duplicates the drive’s local 7-segment / graphic LCD and function keys, enabling parameter viewing/editing, start/stop/jog, and fault reset from the outside of the panel — no separate power or communication wiring needed (powered from drive via dedicated RJ45/round connector cable).
Related accessories:
- VW3A1006 → Basic remote keypad (LED, no graphic — for ATV312/32 smaller)
- VW3A1102 → Graphic terminal (same as VW3A1101) — sometimes regional code or language variant
- VW3A1104R30 → VW3A1101 + 3 m cable (or 30 cm — “R30” = 30 cm / “R50” = 5 m) pre-assembled
- VW3A1111 / VW3A1112 → Graphic terminal for newer ATV600/900 series (Physically similar; confirm drive compatibility — ATV600 uses VW3A1111/12; ATV312/32/61/71 uses VW3A1101/02)
