System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 22B-D017N104 accepts 480V AC three-phase power through its input terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3). The internal rectifier converts AC to DC bus voltage (~680V DC), which is then modulated by the IGBT inverter stage to produce variable-frequency, variable-voltage output at terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3. Motor speed is determined by the output frequency command, which can be sourced from:
- Onboard keypad (HIM — Human Interface Module)
- Analog reference signal (0–10V or 4–20mA)
- Digital preset speeds (up to 7 preset speeds via digital inputs)
- Serial communication via DSI port (Modbus RTU or Rockwell peripheral adapters)
- Network adapter (DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS — optional modules)
The integrated dynamic braking transistor allows connection of an external braking resistor for applications requiring rapid deceleration or holding torque.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 22B-D017N104 compatible with ControlLogix and CompactLogix PLCs?
A: Yes. Via the 22-COMM-D (DeviceNet) or 22-COMM-E (EtherNet/IP) peripheral adapter connected to the DSI port, the drive integrates natively into Rockwell Automation control architectures.
Q: Can this drive operate a 200V / 230V motor?
A: No. The 22B-D017N104 is rated for 480V AC input and 480V output. For 200–240V applications, the correct catalog number is the 22A series (e.g., 22A-D017N104).
Q: What is the difference between 22B-D017N104 and 22B-D017N114?
A: The suffix digit indicates the HIM (keypad) configuration. N104 includes the standard LCD keypad; N114 ships without a keypad (blank cover). Functionally, the drive hardware is identical.
Q: Does this unit include an EMC filter?
A: The standard 22B-D017N104 does not include an internal EMC filter. For CE-compliant installations requiring conducted emission limits per EN 61800-3 Category C2, an external line filter (e.g., 22-RF series) is recommended.
Q: What parameter backup options are available?
A: Parameters can be backed up to the HIM keypad memory or uploaded/downloaded via DriveExplorer or Studio 5000 Logix Designer software using the 1203-USB adapter.
Q: Is a braking resistor included?
A: No. The drive includes the internal braking transistor; an external braking resistor (e.g., AK-R2-091P300) must be selected based on application duty cycle and deceleration requirements.
