The Danfoss VLT® Micro Drive FC51 has been a top choice for engineers and panel builders across a wide range of industries for decades. But all good things must come to an end, and Danfoss has officially announced that the FC51 will be replaced by the new and improved iC2 Micro Drive in summer of 2026.

What Was the FC51 Used For?

The FC51 has been a staple in thousands of control panels, thanks to its:

  • Small size and easy installation
  • Flexible performance for pumps, fans, conveyors and basic motor applications
  • Reliable, cost-effective operation for small and medium-sized machines
Danfoss FC 51 Micro Drive soon to be replaced by iC2 Micro Drive - available from LED Controls.

It’s done sterling work for over a decade. But as technology moves on, it’s time for something smarter.

Meet the iC2 Micro Drive

The iC2 Micro Drive is designed to offer everything the FC 51 had and more. It brings:

  • More processing power for faster response and better control
  • Improved connectivity, including industrial Ethernet protocols
  • Advanced motor control for higher efficiency and smoother performance
  • A drop-in replacement design for easy upgrades in existing panels

In short, it keeps the simplicity and reliability of the FC51 but adds the intelligence and future-readiness modern systems require.
