The Allen-Bradley 22B-D4P0N104 is a PowerFlex 40 series AC drive module designed for efficient and stable speed control of 3-phase motors up to 1.5 kW (2 HP). It provides dependable V/Hz scalar control, making it ideal for standard industrial applications such as conveyors, pumps, fans, packaging machines, and OEM equipment where simplicity, reliability, and fast commissioning are essential.
Operating in the 480V AC three-phase class, this drive delivers smooth motor control with consistent torque characteristics across a wide speed range. 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.
According to Rockwell Automation, this model is End of Life (discontinued as of June 30, 2025), with a recommended migration path to the PowerFlex 525 series (25B-D4P0N104) for new installations and upgrades.
