The Allen-Bradley 22C-B017N103 module supports driver serial interface communication modules which include the BACnet, LonWorks, IP/EtherNet, and PROFIBUS modules. The embedded P1-FLN, Modbus, and Metasys N2 protocols do not need additional software or hardware. The fundamental RS485 communications can be utilized for programming from a PC. Additionally, the 22C-B017N103 can be utilized in a multi-drop network formation. Also, it has a serial converter component which offers connectivity to any regulator with a DF1 port. Moreover, the 22C-B017N103 has the DriveTools SP software which provides offline and online programming capability and integrated HTML Help architecture. The 22C-B017N103 has an auto mode which outlines the operating formation of the control keys.

The 22C-B017N103 has an input which can be reinforced by fire/life safety systems. Additionally, the 22C-B017N103 has a built-in PID (Proportional, Integral, and Differential) regulator loop. The control loop is useful because it maintains a progression variable such as flow or pressure at a specific point. The 22C-B017N103 functions by deducting the PID feedback from the reference and producing an error value. The 22C-B017N103 is embedded within the drive, reducing the costs related to external control software and hardware. The system-run command of the 22C-B017N103 can be wired unswervingly into the driver inputs.

The 22C-B017N103 has several protective features which help to simplify the installation process. The first one is ground fault protection which ensures that there is reliable operation. Also, it has electronic motor surplus protection which increases the motor life. The 6kV transient fortification offers amplified robustness for the 380 to 480 Volts AC system voltage. The drive can be operated via an on-screen regulator bar which refers to a tool which allows users to start, stop, and change the speed orientation of the drive. The 22C-B017N103 has a DriveExplorer software for restoring, saving, and printing parameter information. Additionally, the 22C-B017N103 has LED indicators which provide fault status and system configuration.
