VLT® Decentral FCD
1.3.1 The Decentral Concept
The FCD 300 Adjustable speed drive is designed for decentral mounting, e.g. in the food and beverage industry, in the automotive industry, or for other
material handling applications.
With the FCD 300 it is possible to utilize the cost saving potential by placing the power electronics decentrally, and thus make the central panels obsolete
saving cost, space and effort for installation and wiring.
The unit is flexible in its mounting options for as well stand alone mounting and motor mounting. It is also possible to have the unit pre-mounted on a
Danfoss Bauer geared motor (3 in one solution). The basic design with a plugable electronic part and a flexible and "spacious" wiring box is extremely
servicefriendly and easy to change electronics without the need for unwiring.
The FCD 300 is a part of the VLT frequency converter family, which means similar funcionality, programming, and operating as the other family members.
1.3.2 Flexible Installation Options
1. Stand alone close to the motor ("wall-mounted")
• Free choice of motor brand
• Easy retrofitting to existing motor
• Easy interfacing to motor (short cable)
• Easy access for diagnosis and optimal serviceability
2. Mounted directly on the motor ("motor-mounted")
• Fair choice of motor brands
• No need for screened motor cable
3. "Pre-mounted" on Danfoss Bauer geared motors
• A fixed combination of motor and electronics supplied by one
supplier
• Easy mounting, only one unit
• No need for screened motor cable
• Clear responsibility regarding the complete solution
As the electronic parts are common - same function of terminals, similar
operation and similar parts and spare parts for all drives - you are free to
mix the three mounting concepts.
