Danfoss Drives’ New FCD QDrive

By Design World Staff | December 30, 2007

(Loves Park, IL)  -Danfoss Drives introduces the FCD QDrive — a complete IP66/NEMA 4X enclosed decentral drive solution engineered for wall or rail mounting in any position, or atop the motor itself when ordered without a circuit breaker or output contactor.  Because FCD QDrives require no cabinet space, they are ideal for bus communication across a number of industry standard network configurations in demanding material handling, packaging, food and beverage applications.

FCD QDrives deliver 0.5 to 4 HP and provide automatic motor tuning, dynamic braking, AC braking and mechanical brake control with an integrated brake supply.  Special control features include a closed loop controller, precise stop, speed-compensated stop, counter stop, and flying start.  Fieldbus control is possible via DeviceNet, Profibus DP or AS-Interface, and serial communication is standard via FC protocol, Modbus RTU, and Metasys N2.


FCD QDrives eliminate the need for fuses, are equipped with a built-in RFI filter and harmonic filter, and provide complete drive and motor protection.  A number of options are available, including a local control pad, circuit breaker and output contactor, among others.
