The Allen-Bradley 22B-D2P3N104 is a PowerFlex 40 series AC drive module engineered for reliable variable speed control of small industrial motors in the 0.75 kW (1 HP) range. It uses V/Hz scalar control with optional sensorless vector capability, making it a strong fit for conveyors, pumps, fans, packaging machines, and general OEM equipment where stable performance and simple commissioning are essential.
Operating in the 480V AC three-phase class, this drive converts supply power into a controlled variable-frequency output for standard induction motors. Its compact Frame B design, built-in keypad, and RS-485 communication interface make it suitable for both standalone machines and PLC-integrated automation systems.
This model is officially discontinued (End of Life as of June 30, 2025), with the recommended upgrade path being the PowerFlex 525 series (25B-D2P3N104) for new installations and modernization projects.
