131F0158 | Danfoss VLT Automation Drive

Built-in Smart Logic Controller

The built-in Smart Logic Controller is a simple but clever way to keep your drive, motor and application working together.

The controller monitors a specified event. When an event occurs, the controller performs a pre-defined action and then starts monitoring for the next pre-defined event. 20 steps of events and resulting actions are available before returning to the first set.

Logic functions can be selected and run independent from the sequence control. This allows drives to monitor variables or signal defined events in an easy and flexible way independently of the motor control.

Award-winning control panel

The control panel on the VLT AutomationDrive FC302 has won the iF Design Award so you don't just have to take our word for it that it's great. Hot pluggable, remote mountable and easy-to-use, the local control panel makes it easier than ever to control your Danfoss frequency inverter.

• Graphical display with bar and graphs
• 28 languages selectable
• Hot pluggable
• Settings are transferred easily from one control panel to another
• Up and download functionality
• Manual speed/torque setting
• Based on well-known matrix menu structure
• Personal & Danfoss defined quick menus
• Active buttons are illuminated
• Edit and operate in different set ups simultaneously
• Logging menu for access to operation history

Save on energy costs

131F0158 and the rest of VLT FC302 AutomationDrive series provide energy efficient, adaptive motor control. Using a frequency inverter to control the speed of your electric motor is proven to reduce energy costs. For example, if you reduce the speed of a motor from 100% to 80% in applications such as pumps or fans, you can save 50% of energy. Reduce the speed to 50% and you can save 80% of energy.

Pluggable options for your 11 kW inverter drive

Cost saving heat management

VLT AutomationDrive FC 302 variable frequency drives are designed for efficient and cost-saving cooling.

Panel through cooling

An accessory mounting kit for small and mid-range drives enables heat losses to be dissipated directly outside the panel room.

Back channel cooling

By directing air through a rear cooling channel up to 85-90% of the drive’s heat loss is removed directly outside the installation room. 

No air over electronics

Complete separation between cooling air and the internal electronics ensure efficient cooling.
