Overview

VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 — The premier, globally supported drive concept for exceptional control of motor-driven applications. Built for demanding process and machine-building duties where precise motor control, high availability and broad option support matter. FC 302 adds flux vector and permanent-magnet motor control over the FC 301. This unit is rated 3 HP, 3.9 A continuous, frame A3 on a 525-600 V supply. Supplied as a protected chassis for mounting inside a control panel or switchgear lineup, which is the usual arrangement where several drives share one enclosure and its cooling. The graphical local control panel gives plain-language readout, and copies a commissioned parameter set from one drive to the next — the fastest way to roll out a repeated machine build or replace a failed unit. Danfoss drives are configured rather than stocked as fixed catalogue items: the type code FC-302P2K2T6E20HXXGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX describes this exact build, and 131B0178 is the quick order number Danfoss issues for it. Other valid configurations can be built to order.
  • Precision-engineered for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments
  • Robust construction ensures durability and long-term performance
  • Designed for seamless integration into automated systems
  • Manufactured by Danfoss in Denmark for trusted quality

The FENA 21 DualPort module supports Three protocols Modbus-TCP, EtherNet/IP, and the PROFInet IO RT network. The Modbus-TCP protocol is simply the Modbus protocol used on top of Ethernet-TCP/IP. Modbus-TCP is an open Industrial Ethernet network which has been specified by the Modbus-IDA User Organization. EtherNet/IP is based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), which is also the framework for both the ControlNet and DeviceNet network protocols. PROFInet IO RT is an open network based on the PI Organization standard.
