FCP 106 VLT Drive Motor

Built-in DC Choke
reduces THDi to less than 46%. This results in extended drive lifetime and minimized harmonic load of mains.

drives.danfoss.com

Full flexibility.

For full ﬂexibility in motor choice, system design and energy eﬃciency, choose your own induction motor (IM) or permanent magnet motor (PM) and attach the standalone VLT® DriveMotor FCP 106.

Easy to install
Installation is simple due to the integrated cooling system and an individually adjustable motor adapter plate.
Alternatively, mount the VLT® DriveMotor FCP 106 close to the motor using the wall mount adapter plate.

Premium efficiency
Built-in features for smooth and efficient pump, fan and conveyor operation make this drive easy to integrate and commission for these dedicated applications.

Cost savings
The need for cabinets and long motor cables are eliminated enabling you to save costs however your system design looks.

VLT® DriveMotor FCP 106

Higher reliability, lower costs

The VLT® DriveMotor FCP 106 has many features that increase its lifetime and reliable operation while saving installation and maintenance costs.

Flexible installation
With integrated cooling and an individually adjustable motor adapter plate, you can simply choose your preferred motor type and easily attach the FCP 106 to make it a compact DriveMotor packaged solution.

Reliable operation
VLT® DriveMotor FCP 106 operates reliably in wet, dirty and corrosive environments due to the IP66/Type 4X Outdoor enclosure and PCB protection.
Drive lifetime is extended and harmonic load on the mains is minimized thanks to the built-in DC choke which reduces THDi to less than 46%.
Drive lifetime is further extended thanks to the sleep mode, which also helps save energy.

Automatic Motor Adaptation
The standalone VLT® DriveMotor FCP 106 provides customers with a high level of flexibility, as the drive automatically sets the optimal parameters for the attached motor, providing stable, energy-efficient operation.

Service friendly
The VLT® Memory Module MCM 101 facilitates helpful implementation of factory settings for OEM and machine builders, speeds up commissioning and simplifies drive updates. Simply use your PC to copy the drive settings from one VLT® Memory Module to another.

Insert VLT® Memory Module MCM 101 into the Memory Module Programmer for easy transfer of settings.

Maximize system efficiency with EC+

Optimize PM motor performance
To make it possible for users to benefit from the high motor efficiency on the same level or above EC technology, Danfoss has refined its VVC+ control algorithm and optimized it for permanent magnet motors. After entering the relevant motor data, the drive automatically optimizes the performance of the application.

Free choice of technology
The EC+ concept allows manufacturers to choose their preferred motor, fan/ pump from any supplier, as the same Danfoss VLT drive is equally efficient at controlling IM or PM motors.

By providing vendors with the freedom to choose the optimal combination of drive, motor and fan/ pump it is possible to achieve the best possible system efficiency. This is a clear advantage compared to integrated systems, where it often is not possible to optimize the individual components.

Easy maintenance
Component replacement as a result of wear and tear is not always possible without installing a complete new, integrated system. The EC+ concept answers this by making service and maintenance easier, as only the affected component needs to be repaired/replaced in the event of malfunction.

Downtime is therefore reduced to a minimum, as are maintenance costs due to the fact that the EC+ concept is based on standardized components, which can be shipped at short notice and installed with little effort.

Industrial features

Built-in Smart Logic Controller
The Smart Logic Controller is a simple but clever way to keep your drive, motor and application working together without a PLC. The controller monitors a specified event. When an event occurs, the controller triggers a specified act and starts monitoring the next event, continuing for up to 20 steps before returning to step one.

Motor thermistor
If increased temperature monitoring of the motor is required, the motor thermistor can be monitored by connecting a the rmistor input to the drive. This secures that the motor temperature does not exceed the specified temperature rating.

AC brake
Instead of a brake resistor the drive can ramp down induction motors by absorbing the energy.

Control a mechanical brake via a signal
The drive can provide an output signal for an externally mounted mechanical brake.

Fan features

With basic air handling unit functions, the VLT® DriveMotor FCP 106 ensures safe and low noise operation and increases equipment reliability.

Belt monitoring
Based on the speed/current the drive can detect situations where the motor has lost contact with the fan and raise an alarm.

Flying start
This protective feature prevents violent starts and wear and tear on the equipment. By detecting the speed and direction of a freely spinning fan the drive can catch it at the correct frequency.

Resonance monitoring
Using only a few keystrokes on the local control panel (accessory) or via VLT® Motion Control Tool MCT 10, the drive can be set to avoid frequency bands at which connected fans create resonances in the ventilation system. This reduces vibration, noise and equipment wear.

Fire override mode
This setting prevents the drive from stopping to protect itself and ensures that vital fan operation is maintained for as long as possible, regardless of control signals, warnings or alarms.

Stairwell pressurization
In the event of a fire, the FCP 106 can maintain a higher level of air pressure in stairwells than in other parts of the building. This helps ensure that fire escapes remain free of smoke.

Pump features

Sensorless Pump Control
The pump curve describes relations between frequency, flow, head and power. Measured or taken from the pump data sheet and loaded to drive, head or flow are controlled without using sensors. This saves costs for sensors and maintenance while increasing reliability.

Sleep mode
Sleep Mode keeps pump wear and power consumption to an absolute minimum. In low flow situations, the VLT® DriveMotor will ramp up the pump to boost the system pressure and then stop. Monitoring the pressure, the VLT® DriveMotor will restart when the pressure falls below the required level.

Flow compensation
A pressure sensor mounted close to the fan or pump provides a reference point that enables pressure to be kept constant at the discharge end of the system. The drive constantly adjusts the pressure reference to follow the system curve. This method both saves energy and reduces installation costs.

Dry Run Detection
Dry Run Detection helps protect the pump from cavitation. The VLT® DriveMotor constantly evaluates the condition of the pump based on internal frequency/power measurements. In case of too low power consumption — indicating a no-or low-flow condition – the VLT® DriveMotor will stop the pump.

End of Curve
This feature detects pipe breakage and high leakages to protect the pump from cavitation damages and reduce water losses. End-of-Curve triggers an alarm, shuts off the pump and performs other programmed actions whenever the pump is found running at full speed without creating the desired pressure.

Check valve ramp
This feature protects the check valve and helps prevent water hammering. When the pump ramps to stop, Check Valve Ramp slows down the ramp and closes the check valve softly. When the check valve is closed, the final ramp brings the pump to a fast stop to prevent pump cavitation.
