Product Description:

The 131Z5868 is an Automation Drive that provides 40 A current at 460 V to ensure stable torque delivery under fluctuating load conditions. It is a product of Danfoss, and its chassis is rated IP20, intended for enclosed or controlled environments where basic protection is sufficient.

It has a rated output of 22 kW at 400V and 30 HP at 460V, providing a balance between the American and European power standards. The input voltage range supported by this drive is 3×380–500 V AC, which allows for flexibility in installation with respect to varying supply levels. Its network setup is simplified with eight-position DIP switches (1-8) for PROFINET addressing to enable easy commissioning and robust connectivity across intricate industrial systems. The 131Z5868 automation drive supports ambient operating temperatures of up to 50 °C (122 °F), ensuring stable operation even in high industrial temperatures. Its input current requirement is 42 A at 400 V and 36 A at 460 V, following effective current usage and reducing system losses. The output frequency capability of this drive extends from 0 Hz to 590 Hz for accurate motor speed regulation from slow-speed processes to high-frequency needs.

A brake chopper is also built into the 131Z5868 drive, facilitating controlled deceleration and ensuring safe stop functionality in periods of operational shutdown or emergencies. It offers communication flexibility through the MCA 120 PROFINET option (Option A), which is designated as P/N 130B1135, enabling integration into contemporary automation networks. This drive’s user interaction is facilitated by a 4-way navigation key scheme with a central "OK" button for precise parameter selection. Its key-based control interface provides dedicated keys for Hand On, Off, Auto On, and Reset for direct access to operational states.
