The VLT® DriveMotor FCM 300 has reached the Limited phase of its lifecycle and is no longer in active production. The FCM 300 induction motor is no longer available as a spare part. Limited supplies of frequency converters and accessories are available as spare parts.
Integration of frequency converter and motor The Danfoss VLT frequency converter integrated onto the asynchronous motor gives infinite speed control in one unit.
The VLT DriveMotor FCM 300 Series is a very com- pact alternative to the ordinary solution with VLT fre- quency converter and motor as separate units. The frequency converter is attached instead of the motor terminal box, and it is no higher than the standard terminal box, nor wider or longer than the motor (seechapter 6).
Installation is made extremely easy. Panel space is not a problem. There is no need for special details on wir- ing to meet the EMC directive, since motor cables are not necessary. The only connections are mains and control connections.
Factory-set adaption between frequency converter and motor gives precise and energy efficient control in addition to eliminating pre-setting on site.
The FC motor can be used in stand alone SYSTEMs with traditional control signals, such as tart/stop signals, speed references and closed loop process control or in multiple drive SYSTEMs with control signals distributed by a field bus.
Combination of fieldbus and traditional control signals and closed loop PID control is possible
