Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 22B-D4P0N104 PowerFlex 40 AC Drive delivers reliable variable frequency drive (VFD) performance for three-phase motor control. Rated at 2 HP (1.5 kW) with 4.0 Amps output, this drive operates on 380-480VAC input. It features sensorless vector control for high starting torque and consistent torque across the speed range, making it ideal for lifting, conveying, and other load-varying applications.
The 22B-D4P0N104 includes a fixed LED keypad for local programming and an RS-485 communication port for network integration. Its panel-mount IP20/NEMA UL Type Open enclosure ensures easy installation in industrial control cabinets.

Industry Applications
The Allen-Bradley 22B-D4P0N104 excels in industrial environments requiring precise motor speed modulation. Its sensorless vector control provides high starting torque, making it suitable for conveyors, hoists, and pumps where load conditions vary. The built-in process PID capability allows the drive to act as a standalone controller, automatically regulating motor speed for process control—reducing the need for external controllers in simple applications.
For material handling systems, the 22B-D4P0N104 offers reliable torque delivery and programmable acceleration/deceleration profiles. In HVAC fan and pump applications, its energy-efficient operation helps lower operational costs over time.
Compatibility & Integration
The 22B-D4P0N104 integrates into RS-485 daisy-chain networks using its built-in port, enabling communication with PLCs or SCADA systems. For environments using Profibus, DeviceNet, ControlNet, Ethernet/IP, or other protocols, optional communication modules can be added to the drive. This flexibility makes it easy to upgrade existing systems or incorporate into new designs.
The drive is compatible with standard 3-phase induction motors and supports autotune for optimal performance with the connected motor. Always verify that the motor rating matches the drive's output specifications (4.0A, 2 HP max).
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing, confirm your input power supply: 380-480VAC, 3-Phase, with appropriate circuit protection. The 22B-D4P0N104 is a standard drive without a built-in filter; for CE-compliant installations, an external filter may be required. Mount the drive in a clean, dry environment free of corrosive chemicals to ensure long service life.
