Product Overview

The 22B-V5P0N104​ is a PowerFlex 40 adjustable-frequency AC drive manufactured by Allen-Bradley, a brand of Rockwell Automation, engineered for single-phase 120 V AC input applications requiring 0.75 kW (1 HP) of motor control. As a member of the compact yet powerful PowerFlex 40 family, the 22B-V5P0N104​ delivers 5 amps of output current from a Frame B, IP20 NEMA/UL Type Open enclosure designed for panel-mount installation. This drive was purpose-built to give OEMs, machine builders and end users performance-enhancing motor control in an easy-to-use, space-efficient package, combining V/Hz and sensorless vector control to satisfy demanding low-speed torque requirements that conventional drives struggle to meet.The 22B-V5P0N104​ integrates a digital LED display with a full alphanumeric keypad, enabling out-of-the-box operation using the local potentiometer and control keys without requiring a separate HMI. With an integral RS-485 communication port (DSI protocol), the 22B-V5P0N104​ connects seamlessly to multi-drop networks of drives, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) and SCADA systems, and can be further expanded with optional serial converter modules for DF1, DeviceNet, ControlNet, EtherNet/IP, Profibus DP, BACnet or LonWorks connectivity. The drive’s embedded I/O provides seven digital inputs (configurable as sink or source via DIP switch), three analog inputs (0–10 V DC and 4–20 mA), one analog output and one relay output—delivering a complete, self-contained control node for small to medium motor applications.Rockwell Automation has announced that the 22B-V5P0N104​ reached discontinuation status on June 30, 2025, encouraging customers to transition to the engineering replacement model 25B-V4P8N104. However, for existing PowerFlex 40 installations, the 22B-V5P0N104​ remains the exact form-fit-function original spare that preserves the proven control architecture, parameter set and mechanical footprint of legacy machines. Its combination of 150% overload capacity for 60 seconds, internal braking IGBT, flying start, ramp regulation and StepLogic position control makes the 22B-V5P0N104​ an indispensable component for keeping installed PowerFlex 40-based equipment running reliably long after the original production line has closed.
