How do I setup Level Control on an Altivar 600 Process Drive?
Resolution:
The Level Control function in the Altivar 600 Process Drive is designed for water and wastewater applications that require automatic tank filling or emptying using pumps.
This feature helps prevent:
- Tank overflow during filling operations
- Complete tank emptying during drain or pumping operations
The Level Control function can:
- Control the speed of one Variable Speed Pump (VSP)
- Automatically stage and de-stage up to five additional pumps on ATV600 drives
- Support Fixed Speed Pumps (FSPs) or additional Variable Speed Pumps (VSPs) in multi-pump applications

- Altivar 600 firmware version 1.6 or later
- VW3A3721 Multi-Drive Ethernet Communication Card
- Standard Ethernet cables

The Multi-Drive feature enables coordinated operation of multiple drives in Multi-Pump mode.
