216VC62A HESG324442R13/B
The 216VC62A HESG324442R13/B leverages ABB’s Direct Torque Control (DTC) technology to achieve torque response within 1 ms, ensuring precise control even under sudden load changes. In a paper mill’s winder application, this capability maintains consistent tension on the paper roll, reducing waste from tears or wrinkles. The module’s adaptive programming allows customization of acceleration/deceleration ramps, making it suitable for sensitive processes like pharmaceutical mixing, where gentle motor starts are critical to product quality.
With built-in energy optimization (EO) mode, the drive automatically adjusts motor flux to minimize power consumption during low-load periods, such as idle conveyor belts in food packaging lines. The HESG324442R13/B firmware includes predictive diagnostics that monitor parameters like bearing wear (via vibration analysis) and winding temperature, triggering alerts before failures occur. For example, in a water treatment plant’s pump system, early detection of rising motor temperatures can prevent costly downtime by scheduling maintenance during planned outages.
The module’s sleek enclosure and modular design simplify installation in space-constrained control panels, while its plug-and-play connectivity with ABB’s
PLCnext Technology reduces commissioning time by 50%. The dual-channel communication interface (Ethernet/IP and Profibus DP) enables seamless integration with both legacy and modern control systems, making it ideal for retrofitting projects in automotive factories or chemical plants. The intuitive keypad interface allows on-site parameter adjustment, while remote configuration via ABB’s
DriveWindow software enhances operational flexibility.

Pre-installation preparation: Ensure the control panel has adequate ventilation (cooling airflow ≥2 m/s) and ground the 216VC62A HESG324442R13/B using a 4 mm² copper wire to comply with EMC standards. Connect power cables to the designated L1/L2/L3 inputs and motor leads to T1/T2/T3 outputs, using shielded twisted-pair cables for signal wiring. Configure the drive’s parameters (e.g., motor rated voltage, control mode) via the keypad or DriveWindow software, and validate motor rotation direction before full-load operation.
Maintenance recommendations: Inspect the module’s cooling fans quarterly for dust accumulation, cleaning them with compressed air in dusty environments like cement plants. Monitor drive temperature using the built-in display, ensuring it remains below +40°C to avoid derating. Update firmware annually to access new features, such as enhanced cybersecurity protocols, and test the drive’s fault response by simulating an overload condition via the diagnostic menu. Replace capacitors every 5 years as part of preventive maintenance to maintain optimal performance.
