Allen-Bradley 22B-E4P2C104 PowerFlex 40 NEMA 4X VFD Module

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 22B-E4P2C104 is a 600V AC, 3-phase adjustable frequency AC drive from the widely deployed PowerFlex 40 series by Rockwell Automation. Engineered to deliver precise speed and torque control for 3-phase induction motors, this variable frequency drive (VFD) combines versatile control programming with an integrated keypad and copycat function for rapid parameter duplication across multiple units.

Housed in a rugged Panel Mount IP66 / NEMA/UL Type 4X watertight enclosure, the 22B-E4P2C104 is built to withstand direct washdowns and harsh industrial environments. Delivering a 3 Horsepower (2.2 kW) rating at 4.2 Amps output, this lightweight drive weighs approximately 1.36 kg (3.0 lbs). It features integral RS-485 serial communication, enabling multi-drop network integration or direct PC parameter configuration for efficient automated process control.

Core Technical Advantages

• Rugged NEMA 4X Protection: Features an IP66, NEMA/UL Type 4X rated enclosure designed for harsh, wet, or outdoor industrial environments requiring washdown resistance.
• Advanced Motor Control: Delivers precise adjustable frequency output to control motor speed and torque efficiently across standard 3-phase industrial applications.
• Integral RS-485 Communications: Embedded serial network connectivity allows seamless PC programming and integration into multi-drive networks.
• EMC Industrial Compliance: Certified to EN 50081-2 (Generic Emission) and EN 50082-2 (Generic Immunity) industrial electromagnetic compatibility standards.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Gap Calibration Guide

• Physical Mounting Location: Mount the drive vertically as close to the target motor as possible. For installations using long motor cables, add external line/load reactors to mitigate reflective wave spikes.
• Safety Wiring Practices: Use a dedicated power output contactor to isolate main line power to the motor, and wire auxiliary contacts to disable drive run commands simultaneously.
• Communication Setup: Connect the RS-485 port to your network or PC interface tool and program acceleration, deceleration, and torque parameters via the onboard keypad.
