Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22A-D4P0N104 is a compact, cost-optimized AC variable frequency drive (VFD) belonging to Rockwell Automation’s PowerFlex 4 series—a platform specifically engineered to meet global OEM and end-user requirements for simplicity, space savings, and economic efficiency. Rated for 380–480 V AC three-phase input with a 4.0 A continuous output current, the Allen-Bradley 22A-D4P0N104 delivers 1.5 kW (2 HP) of motor power, making it the ideal drive for small-to-medium fan, pump, conveyor, and light material-handling applications where a full-featured high-power drive would be overspecified. As the Frame A member of the PowerFlex 4 family, the Allen-Bradley 22A-D4P0N104 packs Rockwell’s proven V/Hz control with slip compensation into a book-style housing that occupies minimal DIN-rail space.
Designed with “out-of-the-box” usability in mind, the Allen-Bradley 22A-D4P0N104 features an integral digital keypad with a 4-digit LED display and 10 status indicators, a local potentiometer, and control keys that are active immediately upon power-up. The ten most frequently programmed parameters are grouped together in a “Basic Program Group,” enabling commissioning in minutes without specialized software or training. The Allen-Bradley 22A-D4P0N104 also integrates native RS-485 communication, allowing it to be networked with PowerFlex drives, PLCs, and HMIs for remote monitoring and control. For applications requiring advanced industrial protocols, the Allen-Bradley 22A-D4P0N104 accepts optional serial converter modules and communication cards for ControlNet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS DP, BACnet, and LonWorks.
Physically, the is built in an IP20 / NEMA Type Open enclosure designed for panel mounting or DIN-rail installation, with a permissible ambient temperature of up to 50 °C (122 °F) when drives are spaced with minimal gaps, and Rockwell’s proprietary Zero Stacking™ capability allowing side-by-side mounting at up to 40 °C (104 °F) without forced ventilation. This space-saving geometry, combined with integrated drive overload protection, ramp regulation, and flying-start capability, makes the the definitive choice for OEM machine builders and panel shops seeking maximum functionality in minimum cabinet footprint. For maintenance and reliability teams, the remains widely available as an MRO spare, ensuring long-term continuity for installed PowerFlex 4-based systems.
