The Allen-Bradley 22A-D8P7N104 is a PowerFlex 4 series AC drive module designed for robust and efficient speed control of 3-phase AC motors up to 5 HP (3.7 kW). It provides stable V/Hz scalar control, making it a dependable solution for standard industrial applications such as conveyors, pumps, fans, mixers, and OEM machinery where consistent performance and easy setup are essential.
This model operates in the 480V industrial voltage class and is widely adopted in factory automation environments requiring compact yet powerful motor control. Its straightforward keypad interface and RS-485 communication support make it suitable for both standalone systems and integrated PLC-controlled architectures.
Although officially discontinued (effective June 30, 2025), it continues to see strong demand in maintenance and retrofit markets due to its proven durability and large installed base.
