Allen-Bradley 22A-A9P6N103

The Allen-Bradley 22A-A9P6N103 is a PowerFlex 4 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive that provides a full-featured four-digit alphanumeric human interface liquid crystal (LCD) display module to show either parameter number and value or fault code with an integral digital keypad to program and control employing the local potentiometer, both torque and speed of single-phase induction motors in industrial applications. The 22A-A9P6N103 can be mounted with an input circuit breaker or fuses. This variable frequency controller produces torque efficiently over a large speed range and offers sensorless vector control. The device supports shielded and unshielded cables for wiring and installation. The VFD provides removable MOV to ground ungrounded distribution systems to increase motor life. This drive includes relay pre-charge to limit inrush current.

The 22A-A9P6N103 includes ten (10) LED indicators that report and display visual notification of drive status and information. This VFD supports an input voltage of 240 Volts AC and current consumption of 9.6 Amperes with a maximum power rating of 3 horsepower and 2.2 Kilowatts. This device supports the RS-485 (DSI) protocol to communicate with Rockwell Automation devices and to be programmed by a PC. The 22A-A9P6N103 is conceived to meet IP20 and NEMA Type open enclosure ratings. This unit can be installed vertically on a 35-millimeter DIN on B frame drives or using M4 screws. This VFD offers an adjustable pulse width modulation (PWM) frequency of up to 16 Kilohertz to ensure proper operation. The 22A-A9P6N103 can operate at a temperature range of 10 to 50 degrees Celsius (14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit) for industrial applications from fans to extruders and weighs approximately 1.63 Kilograms (3.59 pounds) while shipping.

The 22A-A9P6N103 drive is part of the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 4 family. It is 1-phase, has no brake, and has no EMC filter. It is rated for 2.2 kilowatts (3.0 horsepower). The 22A-A9P6N103 drive is ideal for use in material handling systems that include components such as fans, machine tools, conveyors, and pumps. The drive is a budget-friendly option that has the benefit of not being large but yet being versatile. Quick installation can be achieved with the DIN rail mounting components, and should this mounting not be suited to the user’s needs. The drive also has the option to be panel mounted. The drive is outfitted with a built-in keypad that is used to perform actions. Operators can easily access the most common parameters by selecting the basic program group in the menu. To allow ease of use across all the PowerFlex drives, the programming keys are the same in the entire family of drives. The 22A-A9P6N103 has an RS-485 port embedded that can be used for programming from an external PC. It can also be used in a multi-drop network configuration. The drive is also equipped with a serial convertor that gives operators the ability to connect to controllers that have a DF1 port. Operators can use a remote, NEMA/UL Type 4X, and an LCD keypad, NEMA/UL Type 1, to provide additional programming and control flexibility, with both of these devices utilizing CopyCat functionality. The PowerFlex 4 family drive automatically provides auto boost (IR compensation) and slip compensation. The drive also regulates speed and provides high levels of torque across the various speed ranges of the drive. The drive is also able to improve the regulation of speed, even as loading increases.
