Danfoss frequency converters
iC2, iC7 and VACON families for every need
From the compact iC2-Micro to the modular iC7 platform and powerful VACON inverters, the Danfoss range has the optimal solution for every motor, process and budget.
What is a frequency converter (VFD)?
A variable frequency drive (VFD) is a device that controls the speed and torque of an electric motor by varying the supply frequency and voltage. The motor operates precisely according to the process demand, thus saving energy and protecting the mechanisms.
Danfoss offers three families of frequency converters: the compact iC2 for simple tasks, the next-generation modular iC7 platform for the most demanding applications, and the industry-proven VACON units – from 0.25 kW to several megawatts of power.
- Automatic engine adaptation during parking
- Integrated STO SIL3 functional safety
- PROFINET, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP support
- IM, PM and SynRM motor control
By choosing Danfoss frequency converters, you get energy savings, a high level of safety and easy integration into existing control systems – all series have a unified maintenance ecosystem.
Main advantages
Danfoss frequency converters provide the highest level of control, safety and flexibility in industrial applications.
High control accuracy
Excellent shaft performance even at low speeds – open and closed loop. Quick start with automatic motor adaptation during standstill.
Security as standard
Hardware protection against unauthorized access and encrypted data transmission with a cryptographic chip. Safe instantaneous stop function (STO SIL3/PLe) as standard.
Multiple communication interfaces
Dual Ethernet port with multiple buses: PROFINET, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT and OPC UA. Protocol can be changed in the field without changing boards.
Compact design
The compact housing saves space and reduces cooling costs. Integrated filters reduce integration costs in larger systems.
Modular and scalable platform
The modular control concept allows for expansion of functionality as needed. Power is increased by paralleling high-power units without balancing filters.
Adapted to any engine
Connect an induction (IM), permanent magnet (PM) or synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor - the drive will automatically adapt to its parameters.
Danfoss frequency converter families
For every application – the right series: iC2, iC7 or VACON.
