Danfoss VLT 2800 · AC-VSD (Variable Speed Drive)

Danfoss VLT2815

The VLT2815 is no longer supplied by Danfoss. If one fails, the program is what gets you running again.

  1. Active RolloutSold and supported normally
  2. Phase OutRetirement announced, still orderable
  3. CancellationNormal sale ended, spares may remain
  4. Total DiscontinuationNo manufacturer supply or repair

ECS stage: Total Discontinuation. Danfoss's published term: Inactive – discontinued and no longer in production; spare parts and service no longer available.

Is the Danfoss VLT2815 discontinued?

Yes. The VLT2815 is discontinued and no longer supplied by Danfoss. Its successor is the FC280.

Source: Danfoss. Last checked . Always confirm a specific part's status with the manufacturer before buying or planning a migration.

What Total Discontinuation means for you

The manufacturer has finished with the part. You may still find one through surplus or refurbished sellers, or in another site's stores, but that is not a supply chain. When a unit fails, your options are to find one and restore the program onto it, or to migrate the machine.

Both routes start in the same place: having the program. Without a backup, a found spare is just hardware.

How ECS defines Total Discontinuation · all four lifecycle stages

Before replacing a variable speed drive

Matching the motor power and supply voltage is only the start with a drive replacement. We would capture the full parameter set, motor nameplate data, acceleration and deceleration behaviour, control terminals, braking arrangement and any network communications.

Even a manufacturer-recommended successor can use different parameter numbering or I/O behaviour. A verified parameter backup taken while the drive is healthy is normally far easier to work from than reconstructing the machine setup after a failure.

Common questions about the VLT2815

Is the Danfoss VLT2815 discontinued?

Yes. The VLT2815 is discontinued and no longer supplied by Danfoss. Its successor is the FC280.

What replaced the VLT2815?

Danfoss lists the FC280 as the successor. Check compatibility with your machine before planning the change.

Can I still buy a VLT2815?

Not from Danfoss. Surplus and refurbished sellers may have stock; check provenance and test before fitting. The FC280 is the supported route.

How do I back up a VLT2815?

It is programmed with VLT® Motion Control Tool MCT 10. The exact software version and cable depend on the unit's firmware. ECS records both for every unit it captures, alongside a verified backup.

With a backup, a failed unit is hours. Without one, it is days.

A Capture audit finds every VLT2815 on your site, takes a backup of each one it can reach, and records the software version and cable needed to restore it. When a discontinued unit fails and a replacement turns up, the program is ready to load.

  • Every device located, photographed and lifecycle-checked
  • Backups taken on the day, with software version and cable recorded
  • Findings report, plus a populated Command Centre
  • No production downtime
