Indramat drives remain a major part of legacy automation systems used in machine tools, printing lines, packaging machines, textile equipment, robotics, handling systems, and other high-response motion control applications. When one of these units fails, the replacement process is rarely as simple as matching a broad series name. Cooling style, current rating, feedback format, bus voltage, supply module compatibility, firmware configuration, and installed plug-in modules can all affect whether a replacement will work correctly in the machine. Indramat-USA supplies replacement Indramat drives for maintenance teams, machine builders, integrators, and purchasing departments that need accurate part matching without unnecessary delays. We support legacy Indramat DDS drive controllers, TVD power supply modules, and KDV supply modules with options for replacement, repair, and surplus evaluation.
Indramat Drive Replacement and Repair Support
Indramat drive systems are modular, and many assemblies rely on a specific combination of supply modules, drive modules, firmware modules, plug-in cards, bus connections, and cabinet accessories. A DDS controller may require a matching feedback type and command communication configuration, while a TVD or KDV supply module must be matched to the correct DC bus power range, mains input, auxiliary modules, and control voltage requirements. Replacing a unit by appearance alone can create problems with current capacity, braking behavior, control voltage loading, and system readiness signals.
Indramat-USA focuses on practical replacement support for these legacy systems. We can quote replacement units when available, evaluate repair options for failed drives, and help customers identify whether the complete part number points to a standard module, a configured controller, or a special variant. For faster quoting, provide the complete part number exactly as shown on the rating plate, including suffixes such as firmware identifiers or special option codes.
DDS drive controllers are modular digital AC servo drive controllers used in Indramat DIAX systems. The DDS platform is built around a basic drive controller, plug-in modules, a software module, and firmware that defines the controller function. These drives are used with Indramat AC motors in compact multi-axis packages that share a common supply unit. DDS controllers must be selected carefully because the type code identifies key hardware details such as series, version, cooling method, rated current, motor feedback, communication interface, function ID, and firmware designation. DDS02.1 configurations may use digital servo feedback or resolver feedback, while DDS02.2 units use a feedback structure identified by the “B” feedback position in the type code. Cooling choices may include internal cabinet-air cooling, external cabinet-air cooling, or liquid cooling depending on the controller version and current range.
Common replacement drivers for DDS units include loss of output, intermittent axis faults, communication errors, feedback faults, overheated power sections, damaged connectors, failed plug-in modules, and missing or mismatched firmware modules. Because the configuration rating plate identifies the installed basic unit, software module, and plug-in modules, it is important to match more than just the front-facing DDS series number. Indramat-USA can quote replacement DDS controllers and secondary repair options when your production equipment depends on a specific legacy drive configuration.

Internal cabinet-air cooling | 15 A | Digital servo feedback | Single-axis positioning configuration | |
Internal cabinet-air cooling | 50 A | Digital servo feedback | SERCOS configuration | |
Internal cabinet-air cooling | 100 A | Digital servo feedback | SERCOS configuration | |

Internal cabinet-air cooling | 200 A | Digital servo / resolver feedback type | SERCOS interface configuration |
TVD power supply modules provide the regulated DC bus and control voltage support used by connected Indramat drive modules. TVD 1.3 is designed for direct connection to 3 x AC 380 to 480 V mains supply and provides a regulated 320 V DC bus. The TVD 1.3 platform is used where the system requires a compact supply module for drive packages up to a continuous mechanical output range of 12 kW. TVD 1.3 modules are available in 7.5 kW and 15 kW continuous DC bus power ratings. The 7.5 kW version provides 22.5 kW peak DC bus power for short acceleration periods, while the 15 kW version provides 45 kW peak DC bus power for short acceleration periods. These modules also include bleeder power handling, control voltage outputs, monitoring functions, and connections for compatible auxiliary devices.
TVD supply module replacement should account for the DC bus power rating, the 320 V DC bus requirement, the power connection module, the auxiliary bleeder arrangement, and control cabinet installation requirements. The TVD 1.3 system may be combined with NAM 1.3-08 or NAM 1.3-15 power connection modules, and separate components such as commutation chokes, buffer capacitors, and DC bus smoothing chokes may be required depending on the installation. Indramat-USA can quote replacement TVD modules and help customers identify whether the unit should be replaced, repaired, or evaluated as part of a larger drive power system.

7.5 kW | 22.5 kW | 320 V DC | |
7.5 kW | 22.5 kW | 320 V DC | |
15 kW | 45 kW | 320 V DC | |
15 kW | 45 kW | 320 V DC |
KDV supply modules are used in modular Indramat AC drive systems where a supply module provides the DC link circuit voltage and control voltages for connected spindle and servo drive modules. The KDV 4.1 platform is designed for direct mains connection to 3 x AC 380 to 460 V, 50 to 60 Hz. It is used as the power supply foundation for systems where multiple drive modules are mounted to a single supply module.
KDV provides link circuit DC voltage for the power supply and the control voltages required by connected drive modules. It supports mains feedback, so braking energy from drives operating in generator mode can be fed back into the mains with reduced losses. The KDV 4.1 supply module also includes system monitoring functions that communicate with connected drive modules through the signal voltage bus. Indramat-USA can quote KDV replacement modules, repair services, and surplus options for customers maintaining legacy drive cabinets.
Part Number | Rated Current | Nominal Voltage | DC Bus Nominal Voltage | Nominal Voltage for Heatsink Blower |

Indramat drive failures can be caused by age, heat, contamination, failed cooling fans, blown power components, degraded capacitors, damaged terminals, communication faults, feedback faults, firmware mismatch, or incorrect cabinet conditions. DDS drive controllers may show problems related to feedback signal integrity, SERCOS communication, plug-in module configuration, power section faults, or motor temperature monitoring. TVD and KDV supply modules may experience DC bus faults, bleeder overload, fan issues, control voltage loss, mains input problems, and shutdowns related to excess braking energy or equipment temperature.
Because these drive systems operate with high voltage and stored energy, troubleshooting and replacement work should be handled by qualified personnel. The safest and fastest replacement process is to identify the exact type code, check the connected power system and motor feedback configuration, and quote a replacement that matches the original unit’s function. Indramat-USA can provide replacement and repair options for legacy Indramat drive hardware used in demanding industrial environments.
