Product Overview
MPX22A-DFC20A-MPI-0125-5E3-CA-C is a decentralized field-mounted inverter from SEW-EURODRIVE, part of the MOVIPRO® technology series. This Size 2E unit delivers 12.5 A and 5.5 kW with PROFINET IO direct fieldbus communication. The CA variant comes without the MOVILINK DDI motor interface and uses standard motor connections. Built for IP65 environments, it supports U/f, VFCplus, CFC, and ELSM control modes. It works with SEW synchronous and asynchronous motors as well as third-party motors. Encoder evaluation covers sin/cos, TTL/HTL, RS422, and HIPERFACE. The unit includes 12 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, 1 relay, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs. Brake control options include DC 24 V (BMV5), AC 230-460 V (BD1B), and safe brake (SBM). Fanless design applies up to 24 A. This C generation inverter suits demanding industrial automation tasks.

Installation Guide
- Mount the inverter vertically on a flat, vibration-free surface. Use the IP65 rated enclosure for field installation.
- Connect the 3-phase supply (380-500 V AC) to the line terminals. Observe the C2 EMC filter integrated in the 5E3 variant.
- Use M12 4-pin D-coded connectors for PROFINET IO. The direct fieldbus port simplifies wiring.
- For brake control, select BMV5 (DC 24 V), BD1B (AC 230-460 V), or SBM safe brake option.
- Ensure the ambient temperature stays within -25 to +40 °C for full load. Derate above 40 °C up to 60 °C.
- Keep the fanless design in mind: allow free air circulation around the heat sink. Do not block ventilation paths.
Commissioning and Maintenance
- Configure control mode via parameter set: U/f, VFCplus, CFC, or ELSM. Each mode suits different motor and dynamic requirements.
- Encoder evaluation supports sin/cos, TTL/HTL, RS422, and HIPERFACE. Connect the encoder to the respective interface.
- Use the PROFINET IO diagnostic functions for quick fault tracing. The unit reports status over the fieldbus.
- Maintenance is minimal: check connections, clean the heat sink, and verify firmware. The fanless design reduces wear.
- For safety functions, add the MOVISAFE option (CSB31A, CSS.1A, CSA31A) when required.
Compatibility Notes
- Works with SEW synchronous and asynchronous motors plus third-party motors.
- The CA variant has no MOVILINK DDI motor plug. Standard motor connection is used instead.
- DFC20A provides PROFINET IO. Other DFC variants offer EtherCAT/SBusPLUS (DFC1) and EtherNet/IP + Modbus TCP (DFC3).
- Integrates into the MOVI-C® automation system and supports common industrial networks.
- Safety expansion: PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, and Safety over EtherCAT via MOVISAFE.
