The Allen-Bradley 22A-D1P4N104 is a PowerFlex 4 series AC drive module designed for simple, cost-effective variable frequency control of small industrial motors. It provides stable V/Hz scalar motor control, making it suitable for basic automation tasks such as conveyors, fans, pumps, and OEM auxiliary equipment where reliability and ease of commissioning are more important than advanced motion performance.
This model belongs to the 480V class PowerFlex 4 platform, offering a compact footprint and straightforward parameter structure. It is widely used in legacy installations and retrofit applications due to its durability and long-term field stability in industrial environments.
Rockwell Automation has officially announced that this model is discontinued (effective June 30, 2025), with a recommended replacement under the PowerFlex 25A series (25A-D1P4N104) for new designs and upgrades.
