The SEW MDF60A-0022-5A3-4-00 combined with the MDX60A0075-5A3-4-00 forms a comprehensive drive solution that leverages the strengths of both decentralized and centralized drive technologies. This system provides flexible automation capabilities for complex material handling and production applications requiring distributed control with centralized supervision.
The MDF60A-0022-5A3-4-00 is a decentralized MOVIFIT drive unit designed for installation directly on machinery, while the MDX60A0075-5A3-4-00 is a centralized MOVITRAC frequency inverter mounted in a control cabinet. Together, they enable hybrid automation architectures where large motors and complex drive functions are managed centrally, while smaller, distributed drives are placed close to the application.
The MOVIFIT component provides 2.2 kW output power with PROFINET communication and integrated safety functions. Its IP65 rating allows direct machine mounting, eliminating long motor cables. The drive includes integrated I/O for local sensors and actuators, simplifying field wiring.

The MDX60A0075-5A3-4-00 is a 7.5 kW frequency inverter with a wide range of control modes including V/f control, sensorless vector control, and closed-loop vector control. It features a built-in EMC filter, DC link connection for shared bus configurations, and support for multiple fieldbus protocols including PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
MDF60A Output Power: 2.2 kW, IP65, PROFINET, STO safety
MDX60A Output Power: 7.5 kW, cabinet mount, multiple control modes
Voltage Range: 380-500 V AC, three-phase
Communication Integration: Both units support PROFINET/Modbus TCP
Shared DC Link: MDX60A supports DC link connection for multi-axis systems
Safety Integration: Both units provide STO (Safe Torque Off) functionality
Application Areas: Mixed drive architectures, complex conveyor systems, production lines
Operating Temperature: MDF60A: -10°C to +40°C; MDX60A: 0°C to +50°C
Combining these drive technologies enables optimized system design. Centralized drives can be used for large motors requiring complex control algorithms or shared DC bus configurations, while decentralized drives simplify wiring for smaller motors distributed across the machine. Common engineering software, MOVITOOLS, provides a unified platform for configuring both drive types, simplifying commissioning and maintenance.
This drive system is suitable for large-scale material handling facilities, automotive assembly lines, and logistics centers where a mix of centralized control for main conveyors and distributed control for transfer points is required. The flexible architecture supports both new installations and retrofit projects where existing control cabinets must be leveraged alongside new decentralized equipment.
