Overview

The Danfoss VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 (SKU: 131Z0491) is a 2.2 kW (3.0 HP) variable frequency drive designed for precise motor control in demanding industrial applications. The FC 302 builds on the FC 301 platform with advanced flux vector and permanent-magnet motor control, enabling energy-efficient operation across a wide power range (0.75–1400 kW for 525-690 V systems). Key features include a graphical local control panel (LCP) for plain-language readout and parameter cloning, simplifying commissioning and reducing downtime during machine builds or replacements. The drive supports wall-mounting flexibility, eliminating the need for control room enclosures, and includes imperial cable entries (A4, A5, B2, C1, C2) for easy integration. Built-in PID controllers allow direct regulation of pressure, flow, or temperature without auxiliary devices, while seamless PLC integration via major industrial Ethernet and fieldbus protocols (e.g., PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP) ensures reliable communication in automated systems. The FC 302 is optimized for process and machine-building applications requiring high availability, such as conveyor systems, pumps, fans, and material handling. Its 110% overload torque capability and support for encoderless motion control (IMC) reduce system complexity and commissioning costs. The drive’s NEMA Type 12/IP55 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for washdown environments or outdoor installations. Danfoss drives are configured-to-order; the SKU 131Z0491 represents this exact build (FC-302P2K2T6E55HXXGXXSXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX), with other configurations available on request.

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.
