Overview

The Danfoss VLT® Micro Drive FC 51 (SKU: 132F0005) is a compact, general-purpose AC drive designed for straightforward speed control of pumps, fans, and conveyors where simplicity and commissioning speed are prioritized over extensive option depth. Rated at 1.5 kW (2.0 HP) with a continuous current of 6.8 A, this drive operates on a single-phase 200/240V AC supply and is supplied as a protected chassis for mounting inside control panels or switchgear enclosures. The FC 51 features an integrated RFI filter (Class A1/B) to limit radio disturbance from motor cables, allowing for up to 15 meters of screened motor cable. A built-in brake chopper is included for drives rated 1.5 kW and above, enhancing dynamic braking performance. The drive is supplied without a local control panel, enabling operation entirely from a PLC or door-mounted HMI. A control panel can be added later, and a single panel can serve multiple drives during commissioning. The FC 51 supports pulse input (20–5000 Hz), two analogue inputs (0–10V or 0–20mA), one thermistor input, one analogue output (0–20mA), and one relay output (240V AC, 2A). Communication is facilitated via RS485 FC-bus and Modbus RTU. The drive’s book-style design allows side-by-side mounting without derating, and its intelligent heat management system removes process heat through the heat sink, protecting electronics from dust and dirt. Printed circuit boards are coated for enhanced reliability, and the drive supports an ambient temperature of up to 50°C. The type code FC-051P1K5S2E20H3BXCXXXSXXX defines this exact configuration, with 132F0005 serving as the quick order number for this build.

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.
