The continuing trend towards decentralization, the limited space in the case of system expansions and the increasing modularization mean that, for a number of applications, the inverter and control functions must be moved from the control cabinet to the field. In this case, a "micro control cabinet in the field" represents an optimal solution: the MOVIPRO^® decentralized frequency inverter.

The MOVIPRO^® decentralized frequency inverter is a completely decentralized system for drive control installed in a compact, modular housing.

The tried and tested SEW-EURODRIVE modular system is also used for the MOVIPRO^® decentralized frequency inverter. The modular concept for the MOVIPRO^® decentralized frequency inverter consists of a modular housing concept and different unit components which can be freely combined. The housing concept uses a modular design with various different pre-defined components which are optimized for application in the field. Depending on individual requirements, different unit components can be installed in the modular housing. Unit components include, e.g. optimized power sections, communications and power supply components as well as local I/O's and synchronous encoder systems.
