Safety Functions That Help Improve Productivity

Increase productivity while helping to protect personnel and assets with industry-leading safety options.

• Reduce unplanned downtime by more quickly resuming full production speed after a demand on the safety system has occurred

• Protect against potentially hazardous equipment or operating conditions

• Reduce wiring and installation space with safety terminals inside the drive

Information Drives Efficient Operations

Getting real-time information at the right time and at the right levels of your manufacturing environment helps to enhance the agility and productivity of your business. As part of the Rockwell Automation® Integrated Architecture®, PowerFlex drives provide true intelligent motor control and can do much more than just respond to interlocking commands. They provide valuable diagnostic information and can be configured as a natural extension of the system. What’s more, PowerFlex drives are capable of providing an immediate and measurable impact on operational efficiency, including important factors such as energy use.

• Predict mechanical problems and help improve performance with diagnostics and real-time data

• Access historical data directly from the factory floor• Monitor performance either locally or remotely to make

informed decisions about your assets• Help reduce and track energy consumption by applying a

PowerFlex drive to your application

PowerFlex 525with dual-port EtherNet/IP card

PowerFlex 755with dual-port

EtherNet/IPoption module

Simplify development, use and maintenance with seamless integration of PowerFlex drives and Allen-Bradley Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). The Studio 5000 Logix Designer application serves as the single software tool to eliminate complication and errors associated with using multiple tools.

• Studio 5000 software can help reduce programming time by automatically populating drive parameters in the controller memory as controller tags – Descriptive tag names are automatically generated – Address mismatch errors can be eliminated

• Advanced graphical wizards walk you through drive parameter configuration – Increase productivity with easy access to system and machine level data as well as diagnostic information

• PowerFlex 755 AC drives offer the option of configuration with instructions embedded in ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ Programmable Automation Controllers. The generated configuration parameters and programming instructions can be applied to both the PowerFlex 755 drives and Allen-Bradley Kinetix® servo drives to reduce programming time and provide a common user experience.

Automatic Device Configuration

With Automatic Device Configuration (ADC), the Logix controller can automatically detect a replaced PowerFlex 523*, 525, 753* or 755 drive and download all configuration parameters, minimizing the need for manual reconfiguration. This feature is available for PowerFlex drives on EtherNet/IP.

Simplified Drive Configuration

PowerFlex drives have been designed to make configuration fast and easy – with a choice of configuration methods:

• Connected Components Workbench software can help you get your drives up and running quickly with an intuitive interface and startup wizards. This free software uses Rockwell Automation and Microsoft® Visual Studio® technologies to make configuration simple.

• Studio 5000® software can help reduce programming time by automatically populating drive parameters in the controller memory as controller tags. PowerFlex drives are placed in the controller I/O tree, minimizing mismatch errors and further reducing configuration time.

• The Human Interface Module (HIM) features a high definition LCD that supports multiple languages with meaningful explanations of parameters and events so you don’t have to search through a manual for details.

Connect Your Entire Enterprise

EtherNet/IP is an established, broadly-adopted network that helps simplify and enhance machine design.

• Low cost, high performance and easy to use compared to a multi-network architecture

• Easily integrate any PowerFlex drive, I/O, smart actuators and any other EtherNet/IP connected device

• Dual-port EtherNet/IP connectivity supports linear and ring topologies as well as device level ring (DLR) functionality to help optimize drive availability

* PowerFlex 523 and 753 drives require a dual-port EtherNet/IP communication card for ADC
