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)
Key Features
- Graphic Display: Shows parameter names, values, fault codes, and menus (multi-language — English/German/French/Spanish/Italian etc.).
- Remote Mounting: Flush-mount in 22.5 mm or 45 mm cutout (depending on drive generation) — IP54 front face with gasket.
- Cable Connected: Powered via drive-specific RJ45-style or round connector (cable: VW3A812xx for ATV312/32; VW3A830xx for ATV630/61 — check manual).

Model & Compatibility Table
Model | Description | Compatible Drive Families | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
VW3A1101 | Remote Graphic Terminal (RGT) | ATV312, ATV32, ATV61, ATV71 (also ATV630/650 with correct cable) | Most common RGT for small-mid Altivar |
VW3A1102 | Remote Graphic Terminal (regional/language var.) | Same as VW3A1101 | Electrically identical; label language may differ |
VW3A1006 | Remote Basic Keypad (LED 7-seg, no graphics) | ATV312, ATV32 (some ATV12) | Lower cost; no graphic menu browsing |
VW3A1104R30 | VW3A1101 + 30 cm cable (pre-bundled) | Same as VW3A1101 | “R30″=0.3m; “R50″=5m cable versions exist |
VW3A1111 / VW3A1112 | Graphic Terminal for ATV600 / ATV900 series | Altivar Process ATV630/650/930/950 | NOT interchangeable with ATV312/61 — different connector/protocol |
⚠️ Critical:
Cable Type Differs by Drive Gen: ATV312/32 → VW3A81203 (3 m) or VW3A81205 (5 m); ATV61/71 → same VW3A812xx; ATV630/650 → VW3A83003 (3 m) — do NOT mix! Using wrong cable may not seat or could damage. ATV600/900 Uses VW3A1111/12: Do NOT order VW3A1101 for ATV600 — display will not connect. Mounting Cutout: VW3A1101 typically requires a 45 mm × 68 mm rectangular cutout (with gasket IP54 front) — verify panel space. Max Cable Length: Recommended max 5 m (ATV312/32) / 10 m (ATV61/71 with proper cable) — check manual for signal integrity.
