The Allen-Bradley 22B-D1P4N104 is a PowerFlex 40 series AC drive module designed for simple, stable, and cost-effective speed control of small industrial motors in the 0.4 kW (0.5 HP) range. It uses V/Hz scalar control, making it ideal for basic automation applications such as conveyors, small pumps, fans, and OEM machinery where ease of setup and long-term reliability are more important than advanced motion performance.
This drive operates in the 480V AC class, converting three-phase input power into a controlled three-phase output for standard induction motors. It is widely used in compact control panels thanks to its small footprint, integrated keypad, and straightforward parameter structure.
Rockwell Automation has officially announced that this model is discontinued as of June 30, 2025, with a recommended replacement in the PowerFlex 525 series (25B-D1P4N104) for new projects and upgrades.
