Product Description:
The 178B1656 decentralized drive is manufactured by Danfoss for the FCD 300 Micro Drives series. It mounts directly on the motor and converts fixed-frequency mains power into adjustable voltage and frequency so conveyor belts, agitators, and dosing pumps in processing plants can be tuned to the required throughput. By integrating the power stage, control board, and local I/O in one IP-rated housing, the product eliminates long shielded motor cables and supports installation in wet areas where centralized cabinets are impractical.
The unit delivers a continuous mechanical output of 0.55 kW, equivalent to a shaft capability of 0.75 HP. Its input section accepts a three-phase supply from 380 to 480 V, allowing direct connection to common industrial mains without a step-down transformer. A cast-aluminum enclosure rated at IP66 prevents dust ingress and withstands powerful water jets, which supports use in filling lines and other processing applications. Radio-frequency emissions are suppressed by an integrated EMC stage with an integral 1 A RFI filter, simplifying compliance with plant noise limits. All wiring leaves the housing through molded glands, reducing the exposure of electrical connections to moisture and airborne contaminants. The drive logic can be accessed through a front-mounted display connector for parameter adjustment during setup.
The electronics are supplied without fieldbus communication, so speed commands are received through hardwired control signals. This arrangement supports simple start-stop controls or analog reference loops without requiring a network connection. Power and signal conductors terminate in a wall-mount box with metric threads, so no additional junction boxes are needed at the motor site. The enclosure and electronic modules use a standard coating that provides a consistent protective finish across the assembly. This coating helps shield exposed surfaces and internal components from moisture and airborne contaminants encountered in processing areas.
