The Allen-Bradley 22B-D6P0N104 is a PowerFlex 40 series AC drive module designed for dependable variable speed control of 3-phase industrial motors up to 2.2 kW (3 HP). It delivers consistent V/Hz scalar control with optional sensorless vector performance, making it suitable for conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, and general OEM machinery where stable torque and simple commissioning are essential.
Operating in the 480V AC industrial voltage class, this drive is widely used in factory automation systems due to its balance of compact size, robust electrical design, and straightforward integration. Its built-in keypad interface and RS-485 communication support allow easy setup in both standalone equipment and PLC-controlled systems.
According to Rockwell Automation, the model is officially End of Life (discontinued as of June 30, 2025), with a recommended upgrade path to the PowerFlex 525 series (25B-D6P0N104) for new installations and modernization projects.
