Product Description:

The 178B2349 is a distributed AC drive manufactured by Danfoss for the FCD 300 Micro Drives series. As an FCD 300 unit, it mounts directly on the motor housing and provides localized speed control for conveyors, mixers, and pumps on automated process lines. The drive converts three-phase plant power into a regulated output that follows PLC or hardwired commands. This arrangement reduces the amount of equipment required inside a central control panel and shortens motor cable runs in installations where panel space is limited.

The power section accepts a line supply of 3 × 380–480 V, matching common low-voltage grids in industrial plants. The drive has a continuous output rating of 0.37 kW and a mechanical shaft capability of 0.50 HP, making it suitable for fractional-horsepower induction motors. An IP66 enclosure protects the electronics from dust and powerful water jets in demanding point-of-use installations. Danfoss applies a standard epoxy coating to the internal circuit boards for additional resistance to moisture and airborne contaminants. Conducted emissions on the mains cables are reduced by an integral 1 A RFI filter. A front-mounted display connector accepts a plug-in keypad for local parameter entry and diagnostic access.

Control options include an extended hardware package with an external 24 V supply for auxiliary sensors or brakes, preventing those devices from drawing power from the DC link. The drive is intended for processing applications, and its default control macros support the constant-torque operation commonly required by mixers and agitators. It is supplied without fieldbus connectivity, so analog and digital inputs and outputs handle basic start, stop, status, and speed-reference signals. This hardwired control arrangement supports installations that do not require communication through an industrial network. A box with metric-thread terminals supports direct motor mounting and provides practical entry points for power and control wiring. Localized connections also help keep field wiring organized around conveyor, pump, and processing equipment.
