The Danfoss 131B0068 is a member of the VLT AutomationDrive FC‑302 series, designed as a flexible, high‑performance AC drive for a wide range of industrial and process applications. Its type code FC‑302P2K2T5E20H2BGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX identifies it as a 2.2 kilovatios (3.0 hp) three‑phase drive for 380–500 VAC mains, supplied in an IP20/chassis enclosure with an integrated Class A2 (C3) RFI filter, brake chopper and graphical local control panel (LCP). The drive belongs to frame size A2, offering a compact footprint for panel mounting in control cabinets.
With a power rating of 2.2 kW and nominal output current of about 5.6 A, the 131B0068 FC‑302 is suitable for driving small to medium‑sized motors in conveyors, zapatillas, fans, mixers, and general‑purpose machinery. The FC‑302 platform supports V/f control and advanced vector control, and across the series it offers features such as AMA (Automatic Motor Adaptation) for quick commissioning and AEO (Automatic Energy Optimization) for improved efficiency and energy savings. Built‑in Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality is a standard feature of FC‑302 drives, helping to meet safety requirements without external contactors in many applications.
This configuration includes a brake chopper (option B) for connecting an external braking resistor, enabling fast deceleration of high‑inertia loads. The integrated Class A2 EMC filter helps meet industrial EMC requirements on 3×380–500 V networks, reducing conducted emissions and simplifying compliance in many installations. A graphical LCP (code G) is supplied, providing a backlit display and intuitive menu structure for parameter setup, monitoring and diagnostics. The drive is air‑cooled and uses Danfoss’s robust AutomationDrive hardware platform, which is tested at the factory and known for high reliability and long life.
Danfoss’s FC‑302 AutomationDrive range supports a wide list of I/O and communication options (Profibus DP‑V1, among others) through plug‑in option cards, enabling integration into complex automation systems and fieldbus networks. Standard features of the platform include multiple digital and analog inputs and outputs, salidas de relé, integrated PID control, intelligent heat management and back‑channel cooling on larger frames, although this particular 2.2 kW frame A2 model is IP20 with conventional cooling. The 131B0068 unit is therefore well suited as a compact, fully featured drive for panel‑mounted automation tasks where reliable performance, built‑in braking capability and a graphical LCP are required.
