MPX23A-DFC20A-MPI-0240-5E3-CA-C | SEW-EURODRIVE MOVIPRO Decentralized Inverter
Product Overview
This is a SEW-EURODRIVE MOVIPRO technology decentralized inverter. The model MPX23A-DFC20A-MPI-0240-5E3-CA-C delivers 24.0 A output and 11.0 kW rated power in Size 3. It mounts in the field, close to the motor. This cuts cabinet space and long motor cables. The unit supports U/f, VFCplus, CFC and ELSM control modes. It runs SEW synchronous and asynchronous motors plus third-party motors. The CA variant has no MOVILINK DDI motor interface and uses a standard motor connection. The DFC20A version provides PROFINET IO direct fieldbus communication with M12 4-pin D-coded connectors. The 5E3 option means 3 x AC 380-500 V supply with an integrated C2 EMC filter. The C generation reflects the current SEW build. This inverter suits conveyor, intralogistics and modular machine lines. It is part of the MOVI-C automation system.

Installation Guide
- Mount the inverter close to the motor in the field.
- Keep the IP65 rating intact with correct cable glands.
- Use M12 4-pin D-coded connectors for PROFINET IO.
- Connect 3 x AC 380-500 V supply with the integrated C2 EMC filter.
- Allow airflow for the fan-cooled Size 3E housing.
- Check derating above +40 °C ambient temperature.
- Wire brake control per BMV5, BD1B or SBM option.
Commissioning and Maintenance
- Set motor data and control mode in the SEW startup tool.
- Choose U/f, VFCplus, CFC or ELSM to match the motor.
- Verify encoder signals for sin/cos, TTL/HTL, RS422 or HIPERFACE.
- Test digital and analog I/O before production run.
- Clean the fan area at planned service intervals.
- Check connectors and seals after washdown or vibration.
Compatibility Notes
