Danfoss 132L1980 FC 280 Midi Drive 1.5 kW PROFINET IP20
Description
FC 280 1.5 kW: a compact PROFINET drive with safety over the network
Danfoss 132L1980 is an FC 280 Midi Drive of 1.5 kW (2 HP) on 380 to 480 V, with the type code FC-280P1K5T4E20H1BXCXXXSFS1XAL. The AL at the end means an integrated PROFINET control card, and SFS1 in the special-version field means functional safety over communication, so the safety function is carried by the PROFINET connection itself instead of by separate wiring.
The housing is the K1 frame, only 210 x 75 x 168 mm (H x W x D) and 2.5 kg, which makes it one of the smallest drives in this lane. The store lists 3.7 A continuous, 5.9 A intermittent, 2.6 kVA and 52.9 W loss at high overload.

Why choose the PROFINET and safety version
In a plant that already uses PROFINET with a safety PLC, a drive with safety over the network removes the hardwired safe-torque-off loop and its terminals. Commissioning then relies on the PLC configuration; the details of the safety function and the certification are in Danfoss documentation, so check them against your machine safety assessment.
The Midi Drive series is aimed at machine builders who need a small drive for conveyors, small pumps and fans, packaging machines and similar loads. A brake chopper is integrated, so a resistor can be connected directly when the application brakes quickly.
Mounting and options
The coated board gives protection in humid or dusty air. There is no display on this code, so setup is by a separate panel, PC tool or the fieldbus. The IP20 housing belongs in a cabinet, and the C1 / C2 filter category depends on the supply voltage and cable length stated in the guide.
The fact sheet that we attach describes the FC 280 series and its main features; for the full technical data, ask Danfoss documents or us for the design guide of this series.
A K1 drive is small enough to sit directly in a machine frame, which helps OEMs with limited cabinet space. Machine builders often ask for the GSD or description files for the PROFINET network; such files are normally obtained from the manufacturer download pages, and the document that we attach is only the product overview. Tell us if you also need the programming tool or a cable, so that the quotation matches the commissioning plan.
Ordering notes
Please confirm the fieldbus, supply voltage and motor data before ordering; a version without PROFINET has a different code. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat and can quote 132L1980. More drives are listed under AC drives.

About brand
Danfoss is the Danish engineering group that makes refrigeration and air-conditioning controls, heating components, variable speed drives and mobile hydraulics. Mads Clausen founded it on 1 September 1933 at his parents' farm in Nordborg on the island of Als, after making his first refrigeration expansion valve in 1932. Nordborg is still the group's headquarters, and Danfoss remains controlled by the Clausen family through the Bitten & Mads Clausen Foundation.
Danfoss company profile
| Founded | 1 September 1933, Nordborg, Denmark, by Mads Clausen (1905–1966) |
|---|---|
| First product | Thermostatic expansion valve for refrigeration |
| Headquarters | Nordborg, Denmark |
| Ownership | Private; majority controlled by the Bitten & Mads Clausen Foundation and the Clausen family |
| Size | About 42,000 employees (2023) |
| Business segments | Danfoss Climate Solutions (refrigeration, air conditioning and heating), Danfoss Drives (VLT and VACON frequency converters, soft starters), Danfoss Power Solutions (mobile and industrial hydraulics) |
| Brands in the group | VLT, VACON, Eaton Hydraulics (bought 2021), Ikusi radio remote controls |
Milestones
- 1932–1933: First expansion valve; the company is founded in Nordborg.
- 1939: 26 employees. By the 10th anniversary in 1943 the company has 179.
- 1950s: Rapid growth turns Nordborg into a Danfoss town with housing and schools for its workforce.
- 1968: Danfoss launches its VLT frequency converter, one of the first mass-produced AC drives.
- 2014: Acquisition of the Finnish drives maker Vacon, now the VACON brand.
- 2021: Acquisition of Eaton's hydraulics business.
Choosing Danfoss products
For solenoid valves, check the operating principle. A direct-operated valve such as EV210B opens even at 0 bar differential pressure. A servo-operated valve such as EV220B needs a minimum differential (typically about 0.3 bar) to open, while an assisted-lift valve such as EV250B works from 0 bar. Coils are ordered separately, so the voltage on the coil (for example 230 V AC or 24 V DC) must match the control circuit. For drives, the VLT family is split by application: FC 51 Micro Drive for small machines, FC 102 HVAC Drive for fans and pumps in buildings, FC 202 AQUA Drive for water, and FC 302 AutomationDrive for demanding industrial duty.
Where Danfoss products are used
In Oman and the GCC, Danfoss drives run pumps, fans and compressors in district cooling plants, water and wastewater stations, desalination and building HVAC. Danfoss pressure switches, transmitters and solenoid valves are built into chillers, refrigeration plants, boilers and hydraulic systems, and AB-QM valves balance chilled-water circuits in large buildings.

Ordering Danfoss products: what we need
Send the Danfoss code number from the label (for example 032U7115 or 131B0149) or the full drive type code (FC-302P3K0T5...). For drives, add the motor power, supply voltage and any fieldbus option. For valves, add the size, connection, medium and coil voltage. For pressure switches and transmitters, add the range, output and pressure connection.
