New High Performance Drive from Danfoss Offers Decentralized Mounting



LOVES PARK, IL -- Danfoss Drives introduces the VLT® Decentral FCD 300 drive. The CE listed FCD 300 is an 'all-in-one-box' solution that can be mounted on the wall, the motor, or in any standard cabinet. The NEMA 4X enclosure allows the drive to withstand detergent and/or high pressure cleaning. Combined with available power range of 0.25HP to 5.0HP, 3 phase 380-480 VAC, these drives are specifically ideally suited to automotive, material handling, food and beverage applications.

The VLT® Decentral FCD 300 is available with a built-in disconnect switch so there is no need for drive fusing. This solution lowers installation costs, makes cabinet space nearly obsolete, and significantly reduces cabling expenses. It also facilitates quick and easy service, retrofitting and upgrading. Decentralized motion control meets the ever growing demands for maximum installation flexibility and reduced lead-time and commissioning of industrial machinery.

An internal brake-resistor provides the most accurate precise stop, counter stop and speed compensated stop available. Plug-and-play operation makes commissioning and service easy. Available communication protocols include RS485, Profibus, DeviceNet, or AS-i bus. The fieldbus is connected directly to the unit, and bus status is easily read by way of external LEDs.

Danfoss Drives is a leading Producer of precision mechanical and electrical components and intelligent "mechatronic" devices. Danfoss Drives created the VLT® name when they introduced the world's first mass-produced Adjustable Frequency Drives in 1968, and the name has set the standard for quality drives ever since.
