PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY AND SPEED Increase quality and efficiency with energy efficient, user friendly control of motors from 0.37 to 75 kW. The VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 is a general purpose drive that provides precise and ecient motor control in a wide range of industrial applications. Built-in features help owners save space in installations, time in setup and eort in daily maintenance. The result is a powerful and versatile solution that increases process eciency and quality in a cost-ecient package.
Designed for challenging environments
Using advanced coating and quality internal electronics protection, the FC 360 has the rugged characteristics demanded by the textile, plastics, rubber, food, beverage and building materials industries.
Maximize productivity IP20 standard protection and an easy to use control panel saves valuable time in commissioning and maintainance, and enables owners to maximize uptime and save energy.
The basic design profile of
the VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 reduces the number of code numbers needed for ordering, making the process easier
Built on the success of the tried and tested VLT
platform that Danfoss developed and launched in the 1960s, the VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 shares the same technical heritage as the popular and versatile VLT AutomationDrive FC 300 series. Developed to meet a general purpose operation prole the drive lacks the expandability of its larger sibling, but still delivers powerful performance out of the box. Due to the fact that all Danfoss frequency converters follow the same basic design and operating principle, existing owners and users of VLT drives will instantly feel at home when operating the VLT AutomationDrive FC 360.
Compact design for easy installation
The compact, lightweight design enables owners to optimize panels space by mounting several drives side-by-side mounting with zero clearance.
Save time on setup
Easy parameter setup makes the path to energy savings both short and simple, and can be carried out with an enhanced numeric LCP or graphical control panel that supports English and Chinese. Targeted application guides walk users through the setup of a new application and ensure accuracy and precision.
HIGH RELIABILITY Coated Printed Circuit Boards High level 3C3 Printed Circuit Board (PCB) coating as standard provides higher reliability in harsh environments to prevent failures and downtime. The lifetime of the drive is also increased as a result of the IED61721-3-3 conformal coating.
55C Working Temperature
VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 is designed to operate at 45-50C ambient temperature at full load (depending on model) and 55C with derating. This means there is no need to install extra cooling equipment or oversize the drive, resulting in cost savings.
Efficient heat management
COATED PCB The VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 is delivered with a 3C3 class coated PCB as standard to strengthen reliability.
EASY CLEANING An easy to remove fan of the drive makes it easy to keep dust from affecting the drives ventilation.
A unique cooling concept ensures
that there is no forced air ow over the electronics. This reduces the risk of downtime, while strengthening stability in daily operation. By preventing dust and particles from accumulating on the small internal components and legs, the risk of short circuits is signicantly reduced, especially in humid environments.
450 kg force at 0.6 Hz. The
high torque performance of a 0.75 kW VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 fully meets the demands for tensile testing at Samuya Technocrates in India.
Reduced Harmonics A built-in DC choke reduces harmonics to less than 43% (ThiD) and significantly extends the lifetime of the DC capacitor.

Smart Logic Control
Smart Logic is a simple and clever way to keep the drive, motor and application working together. The smart logic controller monitors a specic event, and when it occurs, it triggers a predened action which is monitored for 20 steps, before returning to step 1. The Smart Logic Controller can monitor any parameter that can be dened as true or false, providing users with signicant freedom to tailor the control strategy to their specic needs. This includes digital commands and logic expressions, where sensor outputs can inuence operation using parameters such as temperature, pressure, torque, ow, time, load, frequency, voltage, and others, combined with the operators >, <, =, and and or as logical statements.
Expand with control
and feedback modules Fieldbus communication in VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 is integrated in the control card. In addition, the drive can be expanded with options for additional control and encoder feedback.
Time saving setup
VLT Motion Control Tool MCT 10
Maximise uptime
The FC 360 can be congured and
monitored with Danfoss own VLT Motion Control Tool MCT 10 software. This provides plant managers with a comprehensive overview over the system at any point in time and a high level of exibility in conguration and monitoring.
High level 3C3 printed circuit
MCT 10 is a windows based engineering
tool with a clearly structured interface that provides an instant overview of all the drives in a system of any size. The software runs under Windows and enables data exchange over a traditional RS 485 interface or eldbus (PROFIBUS, PROFINET).
board as standard Max. ambient temperature

Parameter conguration is possible both
online and oine, and the software can be congured to link to the systems electrical diagrams or operating manuals. This helps to reduce the risk of incorrect conguration while oering fast access to troubleshooting.
With the VLT Encoder Input MCB 102
and VLT Resolver Input MCB 103 the VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 can receive encoder feedback from either a motor or a process.
INTEGRATED FEATURES The VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 is designed to provide maximum uptime and reliability in a wide range of environments.
Built-in Brake Chopper
A built-in brake chopper up to 22kW saves money and panel space.
Pulse Input as Speed Reference
VLT AutomationDrive FC 360 oers the capability to convert pulse input as a speed reference, avoiding the need to purchase an analog signal module for PLC.
Central Winder FC 360 supports central winder functionality, eliminating the need for a special module in the programmable logic control (PLC).

What VLT is all about
Danfoss VLT Drives is the world leader among dedicated drives providers and still gaining market share.
Environmentally responsible VLT products are manufactured with respect for the safety and well-being of people and the environment. All frequency converter factories are certified according to ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 standards. All activities are planned and performed taking into account the individual employee, the work environment and the external environment. Production takes place with a minimum of noise, smoke or other pollution and environmentally safe disposal of the products is pre-prepared. UN Global Compact Danfoss has signed the UN Global Compact on social and environmental responsibility and our companies act responsibly towards local societies.
Dedicated to drives Dedication has been a key word since 1968, when Danfoss introduced the worlds first mass produced variable speed drive for AC motors and named it VLT. Twenty five hundred employees develop, manufacture, sell and service drives and soft starters in more than one hundred countries, focused only on drives and soft starters. Intelligent and innovative Developers at Danfoss VLT Drives have fully adopted modular principles in development as well as design, production and configuration. Tomorrows features are developed in parallel using dedicated technology platforms. This allows the development of all elements to take place in parallel, at the same time reducing time to market and ensuring that customers always enjoy the benefits of the latest features.
