Danfoss introduces the Vacon 20 AC Drive. The drive offers a compact size and wide power range, combined with built-in, flexible PLC functionality. It is vailable in all common voltages (110-600V) and a power range up to 18.5kW/25 HP.  The built-in RS-485 interface offers a simple serial control interface for the drive.
