Allen-Bradley 22C-D260A103

The Allen-Bradley 22C-D142A103 is a durable and adaptable AC drive for variable torque applications. It offers advanced control features, versatile installation options, and dependable protective functions. Its extensive I/O and communication capabilities make it essential for contemporary industrial and commercial systems.

Power and Performance:

The Allen-Bradley 22C-D260A103 is part of the PowerFlex 400 AC drive family designed to control fan and pump applications efficiently. This model operates on a three-phase 380 - 480 V AC power supply. The 22C-D260A103 drive is 97.5 % efficient at nominal voltage and rated amps.

The 22C-D260A103 offers advanced speed control through Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or Volts per Hertz (V/Hz) methods. It also functions independently as a loop controller thanks to its built-in Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID) control.

Built-in Functionality:

The drive is equipped with numerous built-in features designed to ensure the safe operation of both the drive itself and the connected equipment. A PID control loop helps maintain variables at a specified set point by comparing the feedback value with this set point and producing an error value.

The PID then adjusts the frequency to minimize this error value to zero. Additionally, the drive can be linked with a fire alarm system to provide emergency safety measures.

The PowerFlex 400 adjustable frequency AC drive includes an Auxiliary Motor Control feature. This function enables the operation of up to three extra motors in addition to the drive-controlled motor, enhancing overall system efficiency.

Installation and Maintainance:

The drive can easily be mounted in a control cabinet where the temperature should be kept at “ 40-+ 85 °C (“ 40-+ 185 °F). It has a class IP30 panel mount enclosure. The relative humidity of the environment in which the model will operate should be 0 to 95 %.

The drive can operate reliably at a maximum altitude of 1000m. It derates 3 % for every 305 m above 1000 m. The 22C-D260A103 drive can withstand 15 G peak shock waves for 15 ms and 1 G peak, 5-2000 Hz vibrations during operation.

Input and Output Options:

The AC frequency drives improved input/output functionality makes it ideal for industries that need to monitor and control various parameters. It features 3 partially programmable and four programmable digital inputs, offering enhanced control over drive operations.

The drive features two programmable Form C relay outputs and one opto output to signal different drive or motor statuses. Additionally, it includes two analog outputs that can be selected for either voltage (0 “ 10 V) or current (0 - 20 mA). These outputs are scalable, making them ideal for a speed reference for someother drive.
