Allen-Bradley 160-SSC Variable Speed Drive Unit

Allen-Bradley 160-SSC Series C Variable Speed Drive Unit provides precise speed control for small three-phase induction motors, covering 0.37–4.0 kW (0.5–5 HP). As a Series C member of the Bulletin 160 SSC family, it follows the earlier A and B models while maintaining a compact, purpose-built drive for light industrial automation. The drive includes a PS1 preset speed feature for quick start/stop operation and supports configurable parameters via its control interface, with an optional remote keypad available for machine-side setup. For networked control, the 160-SSC can be integrated with a DeviceNet network using the 160-DN2 module, enabling centralized monitoring and control in Rockwell Automation ecosystems. Official documentation for Bulletin 160 SSC drives is provided in Allen-Bradley’s user manuals, which cover installation, configuration, and operation, and these materials reflect the Series C FRN revisions such as FRN 7.xx.
