Overview

The Danfoss VLT® AQUA Drive FC 202 (SKU: 135U3564) is a high-power variable frequency drive engineered specifically for water and wastewater applications. This three-phase drive operates on 380-480V AC mains voltage and delivers a continuous current rating of 890A, making it ideal for large pump systems, filtration plants, and municipal water treatment facilities. Unlike generic drives, the FC 202 includes dedicated pumping functions such as cascade control for multi-pump setups, pipe-fill mode to prevent water hammer, dry-run and end-of-curve detection, and automatic deragging to clear impeller blockages. The integrated mains disconnect and built-in fuses eliminate the need for separate components, reducing panel space and wiring complexity. The graphical local control panel (LCP-102) provides plain-language readouts and allows parameter sets to be copied between drives for rapid commissioning or replacement. The drive's conformally coated PCB resists humidity, dust, and airborne contaminants, ensuring reliable operation in unconditioned environments. The FC 202 meets EN 55011 Class A2 and EN/IEC 61800-3 Category 3 emissions standards, with filtering optimized for industrial supplies featuring dedicated transformers. For applications sharing power networks with residential or light-commercial loads, additional external filtering may be required. The drive is configured to order with a type code (e.g., FC-202N560T4E54H2XGC3XXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX) and is available in multiple enclosure ratings, including IP54/Type 12 for harsh environments. The FC 202 is part of Danfoss's VLT AQUA Drive series, designed to maximize energy efficiency and operational reliability in water infrastructure applications.

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.
