### Human: PF 753 does not providing output frequency as commanded Summary: PF 753 is operated over ethernet communication but not generating output frequencyThis is very strange, PF 753 3Hp drive is connected with 3Hp motor 400V and used for winding and unwinding application. But the problem is, it is not generating output frequency as commanded frequency. all the motor data parameters are checked properly drive is getting start command and also taking reference frequency from PLC and HIM is also showing at reference rotating forward but stil 0 output frequency. An encoder module is also installed for positioning purpose. In logic mask only port 1, port 5, port4 and port 14 are enable. In Auto masking port 5 and port 14 are enable. In manual masking only port 1 is enable. all digIns are disabled. max freq is default and no skip frequencies present no trim freq settings are defaults. plzzz suggest me what could possibly be the reason of it. Main control board is also new v13.00 frn and same net module is working perfectly in different drive. thanks.. ### Assistant: Did this axis work at one time, but now does not? Or are you attempting to run this axis for the very first time? Is the drive taking its speed reference via Ethernet or from analog input? Do you have a DriveExecutive DNO file or CCW file showing the drive's parameters that you could upload here? There are a number of places to look which would explain the behavior you described. It would help immensely if you could show us the drive parameters. \\n


### Human: kinetix 5500 - Demo box 120 VAC Hi, Can a kinetix 5500 be wired to 120 VAC for demo testing? Thanks, Thomas ### Assistant: The smallest K5500 drive shows a standard input of 195-264 VAC, single phase. It MIGHT work on 120, but I suggest you put a single-phase 120-240 step-up transformer into your demo box. The 2198-H003-ERS draws a nominal .7A with single-phase input, 2.1A peak. A 750VA transformer would suit this application. A Sola E750E weighs 31 lbs. If you're careful with your demo and stay away from peak loads, you could get away with a 500VA transformer; the Sola E500E weighs 19 lbs. \\n


### Human: Variable frequency drive energy saving calculator Summary: Variable frequency drive energy saving calculatorcan anyone please provide me the excel sheet in which I can calculate the energy saved by adopting the variable frequency drive for the Blower in sewage treatment plant for 120HP motor. ### Assistant: Contact your Rockwell distributor - this is something that sales group should be jumping all over in order to sell you VFDs. \\n


### Human: PF 400 output current fluctuations Summary: pf400 output current is fluctuation too muchhoping all you are doing great. here is new the problem, PF 400 3-phase 25Hp drive is having issue. in telephonic discussion with site person he told me that there are total 7 drives out of which 2 drives is having issues. these drives are connected with motor and motor is coupled with load via Belt system. Load is FAN and application is blower. drives are working fine when load is uncoupled with motor. Issue is that during operation current fluctuations can be observed from 15 amps to 45 amps and motor is producing too much noise. I already told them to set basic motor parameters and to increase PWM frequency from 4khz to 6khz but it wasn't making much difference. also compensation mode to set at both(electrical and mechanical) sometimes drive is also faulting at F7. accl dcl time is above 50sec. boost select is at 0.0 no IR, what else can be done to overcome this issue. regards. ### Assistant: Is this a new installation, or have they been running normally for some time and the problem suddenly cropped up? What is the nameplate data for the motor? What is the exact part number for the PF400 drive? All 7 systems are identical, but 2 do not function correctly. What is different about those 2? Are the belts tensioned in the same manner as the other 5, and tensioned to the same amount? Do the fans spin freely by hand (is there something wrong with the bearings)? Many questions, but they all need to be answered to diagnose this problem. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 525 in closed loop control (PID) Summary: basic controls and frequency Hi guys, I need t control an AC with PF525 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to maintain a certain position given by an analog sensor (like an auto balanced system) I used a PID to control the speed 0..60Hz depending on analog sensor position. How can I drive the outputs to rotate forward and reverse according to the sensor? PS. if I use the PID to give dpeed output from -60Hz...60Hz, should it rotate according to the frequency sign? ### Assistant: Yes, it should. However, it gets weird if your analog signal is 4-20ma. For you to be at zero-speed, the analog signal has to be 12ma. Not difficult, just not quite intuitive. If your signal is -10v to +10v, 0V is zero-speed. In this instance, an analog voltage signal is more intuitive (and probably safer). \\n


### Human: PF755 AOI, issue with Datalinks Summary: PF755, ND 100HP V13.3, connected to L45S v20 over EthernetI am configuring a PF755 on a v20 Compact Logic L45S. The PLC is just doing basic Start/Stop/Speed for a large Fan. I'm using AB's AOI and faceplate for ME. The issue I'm having is the last 3 default input Datalinks from the AOI configuration are not available on the drive that I have (Parameters, 951-LastFaultCode, 11-DCBusVolts and 7-OutputCurrent) are there appropriate substitutes for these parameters. I was looking and nothing popped out at me. See attached image for reference. Regards, Vin ### Assistant: You're saying that when you configure the datalinks IN THE DRIVE, those parameters are not available? Are you sure you're looking at the correct port on the drive? Any chance you're looking at an option port instead of port zero? \\n

### Human: Safety Contactor With PF525 Summary: Is there a need for oneJust planning a new project using a PF525 with a 22kw motor variable torque application, is there any need for a safety contactor when using this drive if so should it go line side or load side? i will be using the safe torque off function on the drive with a Compact Guard logix l43s Controller AENT with IB8S and OB8S safety IO. cost is not really an issue but would like the highest level of safety. Looking at 520-UM001I-EN shows one example with a contactor on the load side but i always thought this was a no no. Any input would be appreciated ### Assistant: You can put a contactor on the load side of the drive, but you should also run the drive-enable signal through it as well. I would not go this route. Putting a contactor on the line side is safest, but the drives have a once-a-minute power cycle limitation that more or less precludes putting a contactor there. Using a drive's safe-torque-off function means a contactor is not necessary. \\n


### Human: 2093-AM02 Summary: Current limitIs it within the capability of this 3KW control amp to set a current limit for the output? Using a 1.8KW motor and 5:1 reducer to power an Exlar FTX125 actuator that has an input torque of 46Nm. Based on the data sheet, the MPL A330 motor will produce 11Nm of peak stall torque resulting in 55Nm torque at the input to the actuator. Can we limit the current to the motor? ### Assistant: Open the AXIS properties (not the drive), and go to the LIMITS tab. There are check boxes to enable hard and soft travel limits, numeric entries for position error, and at the bottom numeric entries to set peak torque limit and continuous torque limit. You can also issue an SSV command to the axis to configure continuous torque limit, as well as TorqueLimitBipolar, TorqueLimitPostive, and TorqueLimitNegative. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 525 - Power Through DSI Port For Programming Summary: Can the control module be powered through the DSI port to enable ethernet for BOOTP programming?I have several thousand PowerFlex 525 drives to program networking information into. It is highly desired that this be done prior to site installation so this rules out using BOOTP on-site as we have trouble with that in the past. We want the drives to be plug-and-go during install. We are also not wanting to wire each drive to 480V in the shop to program them using the button interface or BOOTP as we lack a quick, safe way of doing this. I am aware of the USB port on the back-side of the control module which is how I have have been doing them but it takes quite a bit of effort to pull the module off to access the port. I am wanting to investigate other means of programming the drives. I understand the HIM keypads receive power through the DSI port so I am wondering if it's possible for me to back-feed power into the DSI port so that the processor in the module is powered and I can get the ethernet port working so I can use BOOTP to set the IP and store it in memory. This wouldn't be done for long, just long enough for the ethernet to become active. Is this method something that is doable without causing damage to the drive or control module? I'll also accept other methods of programming to consider if you all have any. ### Assistant: The 525 has a USB-B port on the back of the control module. You'd have to remove the module from the drive, but then could use a USB printer cable (USB-A to USB-B) to push a parameter set out to the drive. Go to page 67 of the PDF link below: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf This section discusses mains free programming which is exactly what you want to do. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 523 and external input supply I'm controlling a PF523 with 2-wire control using external power from a PLC output card. Can I still connect terminal 11 to terminal 1 on the drive? (leave the jumper in). Since terminal 11 and the external power supply have the same common, would it still work? ### Assistant: Yes. As long as the drive's terminal 4 common is connected to the external supply's common, you are good to go. Connection examples can be found in the 520 user's manual: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf \\n

### Human: PF 400 Faults Summary: PowerFlex 400 Overcurrent and Ground Fault on Start CommandI have around 60 PowerFlex 400 drives running and most run perfect. On about 20 of the drives, I regularly get either an overcurrent fault, a ground fault, or both as soon as I send a start command. I clear the fault and the drive starts and runs fine. Sometimes the drive will start without faulting. I'm using a 30 second ramp start. Any ideas? ### Assistant: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/22c-um001_-en-e.pdf Take a look at page 18 of the user's manual link above. It discusses the phase-to-ground jumper for ungrounded systems. You haven't told us what frame sizes you're using or if your system is solidly grounded or not. This might be one source of the problem. It also might be the distance of the motors from the drives - how long are the T-leads from drive to motor? \\n

### Human: PowerFlex 525 on a Delta transformer Summary: PowerFlex 525 connected to a Delta transformer with high wildleg B phase.Normally if I were to spec a transformer for a project it's delta/wye (unless it like super huge right). But I have an issue were I need to test my communication on this tiny 525 drive. The only thing is the power available to me is from a delta secondary... This is a 3 phase system 230V. So it's grounded between two phases A &C have 120V on each A & C to ground. This results in phase B having like 214V ... now phase to phase it's 230,230,230 ... So I'm not worried about the converters or the DC link (bus, caps) I'm worry about the power module's internal power supply... if it 3 phase NP ... if it two legs NP.... If for some reason it's one phase to ground 120V then if that lands on B phase it would certainly fail. I can't tell how things are really connected inside the drive.. So if it 's a tiny transformer is 3 phase I'm probably okay with my test setup.. If power goes across just two points then the I'm probably okay here as well...However it the internal supply goes from phase to ground ... then I have a one in three chance that there will be a problem. You know with a bigger I could just open it up and have a lokn but this little drive looks like I mint break it if I tried to one it up... Please help do you know how the drive is powered internally? Or have you seen this configuration was it an issue..??? I don't see away way to power the drive controller from an external supply??? ### Assistant: 525 drives are rated for single-phase operation at 35% of drive capacity. The derating will not affect you if all you're doing is verifying communications. If you know for a fact that it is always the B leg that is high, why not just hook up A and C only? \\n


### Human: Powerflex 700 Summary: external stop switchGood morning everyone, I am looking to see how I can go about wiring an external stop switch to cut off my powerflex 700 after a set amount of time (2-4 hours). There seems to be no way to do this from the inverter so can you externally wire a stop switch? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Shane ### Assistant: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/20b-td001_-en-p.pdf Go to page 44 and 45 of the PDF link above. It shows the control board terminals for the various versions of PF700 drive (you haven't told us what exactly you have). Near the bottom of each of the three tables you will find the digital inputs. If yours have not been repurposed to something else, digital input #1 on all of them is STOP by default. The same information is given at this link: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/20b-in019_-en-p.pdf starting at page 54. Page 57 shows how to wire 3-wire control including a stop button. If you use a time delay-off relay, you should get the function you're looking for. \\n


### Human: Multiple Motion Groups Summary: Why can't you make more than 1 Motion Group in Control Logix 5000? Why are there Motion Groups if you can't have more than 1? It would be nice to be able to make more than 1. As it stands, you can only issue a group command if you want all of your axis to act on it. ### Assistant: Welcome to the Forum ! I've not a technical answer, but as sometimes you may read the following statements on manuals the Logix control system currently supports a maximum of 1 motion group I guess it is a limitation on actual systems; I don't know if in future you will be able to have more than one Motion Group or if it was just a initial idea that will never apply... maybe other folks here would help on that. - fuzzy logic In order to enhance Forum's contributors reputation, please rate the replies you got and remember to close the thread clicking Choose as Best Answer button over the solving answer.

### Human: allen-bradely 1332 vfd 1 to 3ph Summary: can the vfd output 3ph out of 1ph?Hi, I own an allen-brdley 1332 CAN variable frequency drive. The unit is rated 380VAC and 5hp. It is main purpose is to change the frequency of a three phase input. I read in some forums though, that all vfd's can output 3 phases pout of one, with only a drawback of fallen horsepower. I also see in the manual of the 1332, that specifically the 230VAC units can output 3phases out of one. My purpose is, since i do not have access to 3 phase power in my current lab, to create it out of the 230VAC. I understand that the 1332 cannot step up the voltage given in it, so my though would be to use a transformer to output 380VAC. The motor i want to drive is 1,1hp. Are these units known to work at such a level? Would it be safe for the unit to try to input 380VAC one phase to test the output or may i damage the unit? any help appreciated ### Assistant: What manual I could find on line does not reference 1332 drives rated at 380VAC. They reference 230, 460, and 575V drives. The manual I found does say THOSE 1332 drives can take single-phase input. That said, I would not simply presume all 1332 drives can take single-phase input. Contact Rockwell Technical Support and see if they better documentation than I've been able to find on line; this one has a publication date of 1987. \\n


### Human: APR fault after download new program Summary: APR fault , waiting for group,i have a project same as did before , all configration is same as first one,but when i downloaded the program , all the axis state are waiting for group  power flex 527, some is configing, some kinetix 5700 is APR fault ,it happened before on other porject and i cleared them very easily use clear fault in group, but this time can not. and try many way to solve: 1. recycle power many times 2.clear faults both in group and axis , failured, says the group is not in sync state. 3. checked the encoder wiring. 4.checked firmware and ip address. this is i first time to ask question here , is anyone can help ? ### Assistant: The fault image is telling you a lot of information. There is something wrong with this servo motor's feedback device. Did you configure the axis with one type of motor but actually connect a different motor? SOMETHING is different from your previous project to this one. Focus on the motor / feedback device and be sure your axis is configured to use what is actually out on the machine. Either correct your axis definition or replace the servo motor because it is defective. \\n

### Human: Suggestion for a servo motor required to connect to rockwell servo Summary: Selection of a suitable servo motorHi, I want to connect a suitable Rockwell servo motor to a Rockwell drive system. The PLC used by my customer is AB PLC L36ERM. I want to connect a suitable Rockwell servo motor to this. The torque requirements are very less. The mechanicals comprise of a linear timing belt and carriage. At present we use a stepper motor with a max holding torque of 101 Ncm. Anything more than this would also be suitable. Could anyone suggest which motor would be suitable? thanks arun ### Assistant: You've given very few facts with which to size a servo system. You've only given us a processor model, so you could use a K350 or a K5500 economically. But you've not said anything about voltage so no one could recommend more than that. You've given only torque, you've said nothing about the necessary speed. You've told us the type of mechanical setup, but nothing at all about reduction ratios, load, inertia, friction, cycle time, etc. You need to give us a LOT more information if you want useful recommendations from us. I suggest you use Rockwell's Motion Analyzer: https://motionanalyzer.rockwellautomation.com/ \\n


### Human: MDAC, MAG OR MAPC Summary: Length calculation with External encoderThe issue I have is the external encoder rides on the material that is driven by the servo drive. Another programmer closed the position loop and modified tuning parameters for the kinetix 7000 when using the external encoder and when using the motor encoder he moves a different set of tuning parameters into the drive. My customer doesn't want to have to change the encoder used when the material runs off of the external encoder. Since the encoder is driven by the material, and the material is driven by the servo, I am having a had time figuring out the best solution to use. Can I use a MAG, MAPC, or MDAC since the material isn't driven by a secondary source? Is there a better option than what is currently being done? ### Assistant: JC, I don't think you have a lot of options. Tying the external encoder to you servo axis (by either Load or Dual feedback modes) will have issues when the encoder runs off of the material. How do you detect when the material runs off now? Is it a run-to-length process or just measurement? This is the closest example to your application, however, what it describes can't be done on-the-fly. https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/550046 Jeremy \\n

The best thing you can do right now is upload your PLC's ACD file for us to look at. It's most likely an axis configuration problem of some sort. It doesn't make sense for us to guess at it; uploading the ACD will get you a good answer rapidly. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 700 Size 6, Heatsink OvrTemp Summary: Does this drive have fans?Lately we have been encountering the Heatsink OvrTemp fault on our PowerFlex 700 Size 6 drive. If there are fans they are not visible from the anywhere. It started out happing after around 20 minutes of run time and now it happens around 10 to 12 minutes. The heat sink is getting hot and we can cool it with air and the unit runs fine for longer times. I just don't want to pull it apart and not find any fans and we aren't going to spend $15000 to replace this unit just for a couple of fans. Are there Fans on this unit? If so, where are they located? Has anyone attempted to replace their fans? ### Assistant: Yes, it does have fans. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/20b-um002_-en-p.pdf Fault 8 on page 87 refers to your exact problem. Also look at the technical data document: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/20b-td001_-en-p.pdf There's the installation document: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/20b-in019_-en-p.pdf Unfortunately, Rockwell does not have a service / maintenance manual for PF700, as stated in this article: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/535148 From your description, I would say the fan is no longer spinning. You should check the fan wiring (see the installation document), and verify that it is in fact spinning. They're not quiet; it should be very obvious if the fan is running. \\n


### Human: PF525 Control Module Replacement Summary: Need to replace PF525 Control module with a different HP controllerWe have an issue that we did not have any same size drives in stock to replace a drive with an F110 fault. I was trying to take the parameter from a 10HP 460VAC drive and download to a 1HP 460VAC drive controller. Tried using CCW, handheld HIM and USB utility for PF525. Kept getting errors on the downloads and the parameters would not change from the 1HP settings. Was not able to manually enter the parameters for the 10 HP. The drive is also EthernetIP connected. I saw in various places that the Control module of the PF525s were interchangeable. Is there a procedure to do this update using a different control module from a different size drive? ### Assistant: nan \\n

### Human: Powerflex 755 - Input Module Explosion Summary: Issues involving the performance of the new Powerflex 755- productsGood Morning, I came here to find more information or suggestions regarding the last issue that we had in our plant. We have five Powerflex 75HP drives running pulp pumps. The electrical room has HVAC and optimal temperature and humidity conditions. Last week we had a sudden failure in one of the powerflex 700 drives, it had been in service for more than four years, and we haven't had any events during its normal operation. We began doing an extensive inspection and we found a hotspot in one of the modules, and one of the IGBTs were damaged. So far it was an isolated event but during last week we have two additional explosions of two new powerflex 755 drives. The whole rectifier module was damaged, and we guess it has something to do with the pre-charge circuit. We have lost three drives and we want to make sure that our installation is reliable. The typical installation scheme for our plant includes the input circuit breaker an output contactor and reactance. We did an extensive inspection of the ground scheme with no issues. We only found no PE-B jumper installed on the drives but we don´t think this has something related to the input module failure. What do you suggest?. How do you improve the MTTF of our drives (typical 3- 5 years ). ? Did anyone had a similar experience?. What did you install to reduce the probability of a sudden failure?. Does the new family powerflex 755 demand more from the installation in comparison with the powerflex 700 drives. Thank you for your comments or suggestions, Best Regards, Daniel Riascos. ### Assistant: If your supply is solidly grounded, then both the PE-A and PE-B jumpers should be installed. If it is not solidly grounded, then both jumpers should be removed. Rockwell has NEVER been able to adequately explain why they ship drives in an indeterminate state with one jumper installed and one removed. It's both IN, or both OUT, according to Rockwell's own literature. It just doesn't make sense. The jumper configuration could play a role in your failures. The output contactor is a different problem. Is there any chance the contactor opened while the drive was still running? If the contactor opens before the drive is disabled, you could blow up the drive. You must make sure the drive run command is removed before opening the output contactor. You would do better to move the contactor to the input side of the drive, or better yet use safe-torque-off option card and eliminate the output contactor entirely. \\n


### Human: Adding a timer to Powerflex 525 for maintenance intervals Summary: We want to track pump run timeWe want to add a timer to the pump ran by the Power Flex 525 that is controlling a Roots blower, Any ideas? ### Assistant: Parameter B019 in the basic display group is elapsed run time. You don't have to add anything at all; the drive keeps track. If you require an external elapsed time meter, the 525 has two relay outputs. Relay 2 on terminals R5 and R6 is already configured to be a running indicator (parameter T081 is set to value 2). If you need the opposite contact, then program relay 1 on terminals R1 and R2 to be the running indicator by setting parameter T076 to value 2. \\n


### Human: VFD Clearance issues Summary: Powerflex 520 - Clearance IssuesAll, We are having a little debate at work on VFD clearances. and adhering to the specifications. The question is simple, I just cant find the answer. In the specifications for the Powerflex 520 Series AC Drive, you will find a section on Clearance. It shows different mounting options for Vertical and Horizontal. There are 4 scenarios for mounting vertical when you have more than one VFD, but I am only concerned with two of them 1) Vertical Mount - Keep 1 inch in between. 2) Vertical, Zero Stacking - No clearance in between. My question is, what is Zero Stacking? Is that meaning having two rows of VFD's? That's what I get out of it. Others at work disagree and think the Stacking implies the VFD mounted next to it. I think stacking means having two or more ROWS of VFD's. Co-workers think stacking as a side-by-side VFD mounting. Thoughts anyone? ### Assistant: It looks like zero stacking simply means when you mount the VFD next to each other with no (zero) space between them. I didn't find anything mentioning having multiple rows of VFDs. In some VFDs this can de-rate the max ambient operating temp. In others, it doesn't affect the max operating temp. Frames 0-6 do not need to be de-rated (see below language from spec sheet). • Zero Stacking™ – Frame 0…6 drives can be mounted next to each other with no reduction of surrounding air temperature rating (50 °C). This unique bookshelf design also allows access to one drive without disturbing another. In general, it looks like zero stacking derates the operating temp by 5 deg C. \\n

### Human: PF700S DC Bus Drive / Voltage Feedback Error We are stuck with a rather odd drive:20DR125xxxxxx Basically a 125Amp PF 700S Drive, Frame 5 with a 650VDC Common Bus input.We are having a Loss of Voltage Feedback error; which links to Parameter 394.However, unlike the larger drives (above Frame 9), I cannot find any information about a voltage feedback board (Part number: SK-H1-SVFB2-E1 on the larger drives). So I don't know how this error is generated. We have checked the connections multiple times, and have had no luck. If I disable this parameter, the drive basically becomes a PF700VC...as the big difference between the VC and S is the motor voltage feedback and control....and I need the S control in this application.Any help of suggestions would be appreciated. Unrelated to this, does anyone know if there is a drawing showing all of the Boards / componenets on the PF 700 Drives along with their interconnections. ### Assistant: Rob, Please call tech support at 262.512.8176 for further information. The voltage feedback board on Frames 6 and below are mounted on top of the switch mode power supply. On the Frame 6 it can be replaced in the field however, we do not offer a spare part kit.On the frame 5 it is a little harder to replace in the field, however it is possible. If the drive is still under warranty than have your distrubutor do an advance exchange. We do have connection diagrams for frame 9 and higher because the boards are accessable.

### Human: Power Flex 750 Series Drive Summary: Standard Life of 750 Series DriveDear Sir, Some of our clients will have a quarries that, what is your supplied drives standard life? We also think this is a valid question. If a plant used Power Flex 750 series drives only and they may used 50 -100 drives with various ratings then, they don't know when and which drive to be replaced and maintain their stock accordingly. You also understand that, all users try to maintain their minimum stock by which they may minimized their shutdown time. But till date you are not provided such a document by which any client know about that, this drive we purchase and it will work for ....... hours in standard operating conditions. You also mentioned the derating conditions of your supplied drives. Please rethink your consumer as, if any client purchase a drive by using several lakhs of rupees and they don't know how many days it will works in standard operating environment then, why they invest? If you have any authentic document then, please send to us. Hope to hear from you very soon. Regards Jhantu Kumar Das ### Assistant: First off, Mr. Das, this is a user-supported forum. It is not officially monitored by Rockwell employees. It is highly unlikely we can provide all the data you request here. I can provide some of it - you asked for derating data. The link below contains derating information based on ambient temperature and altitude: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/750-td001_-en-p.pdf Have you contacted your local Rockwell sales representative for the expected life time data? Have you contacted Rockwell Technical Support? Those are the only two paths I can think of that might provide such data. I think you will find it difficult to get such data. You have not defined standard operating environment. My personal experience with PF750 drives is that they give years of reliable service. Failures are usually because of external factors - supply power surges and contaminated cooling air are the two most common. Motor overspeeds caused by external forces can also destroy drives. All three factors cause drive failures that should not be attributed to the drive. Please contact your local Rockwell representative; maybe they have data you might find useful. \\n

### Human: AB Powerflex 70 from Australia on African power supply Summary: Would a VFD rated for 415 - 480V run on 380V?Hello forum, I have a client that recently imported a Powerflex 70 VFD from Australia. The unit start and runs for about 30 seconds (runs well btw) and after that shuts down due to low voltage fault. I see in the manual it mentions under File E, Drive Memory Group, item 202: [Voltage Class]Configures the drive current rating and associates it with the selected voltage(for example, 400V or 480V). This parameter is normally used when downloading parameter sets. Would this setting allow the VFD to run on our 380? Is this even possible? Or is the only option a step up transformer? The installation is a plane ride and 6 hours drive away, so visiting the site is not a quick affair. Thanks in advance, Hein ### Assistant: It would help to know the drive part number. If this drive was purchased in Australia, it was PROBABLY a part number beginning 20ACxx. This means parameter 202 was already set for low voltage (400V). If the part number was 20ADxx then parameter 202 was set to high voltage (480V). low voltage fault - do you mean Fault 4 - undervoltage? Regardless of the parameter 202 setting, the bus voltage will give an undervoltage fault when the DC bus voltage falls below 407V in standard control, 300V in enhanced control. See page 82 of the users manual: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/20a-um001_-en-p.pdf You can have your end user monitor parameter 226 (see page 55): bus volts at time of last fault. We need more information to help you: What is the drive part number What is the value of parameter 202 What is the line in voltage Does line voltage sag when this drive turns on What is the line voltage source (underpowered generator?) Is this an old drive with standard controls or does it have enhanced controls What is the motor name plate data What is the load What is the exact fault code the end user gets If the VFD is configured with parameter 202 set to low voltage, then yes, the drive should be able to run on 380VAC. Is it possible they are single-phasing the drive? \\n


### Human: Powerflex 700s Fault 27 ( IOC ) Intermittent trip Morning all! Hope to get some answers on this re-occuring fault that has us baffled. We have a powerflex700s as the lead drive on a front drum of a winder and are currently experiencing intermittent Fault27 ( Instantaneous Overcurrent ) trips. This drive has been on line for several years without issues but, for the last 8 months, it has been faulting on F27. We have done the following to isolate the problem yet it still trips and appears the frequency of trips is more often. 1.)Swapped drive to spare and downloaded running program. 2.) Autotune3.) Changed Motor4.) Temporary motor cable swap5.) Temporary tach cable swap6.) Lowered parameter 402 from 900 to 300 - PWM Bandwidth We have attempted to run an autotune, and believe to have done so successfully but still trips. We suspect tuning may help us but unsure where to go from here. Any suggestions, correct answers and I'll buy coffee? Regards, Thibs ### Assistant: first thing the manual says is reduce mechanical load...how did that affect it? \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 70 can't start the drive [Start Inhibits] Hello guys, At first, I am not technical person so I need as basic explanations as possible. I bought lightly used PowerFlex 70, reset all data to factory defaults, connected input to L1 L2 L3, motor to U V W and I thought that is enough for starting the drive. However already 3 days I am trying to start it but no success. Orange STS LED is always blinking, so according to manual I should look at [Start Inhibits] 214 parameter. I checked it and I saw 1 in my device: xx0x000000000100, which means, 2-Enable. Enable is selected on Digital In 6 and it is impossible to change it. What does it mean? How can I change it? I don't use any additional hardware, I hope I only need to do some connection and programming to start the drive. As I said, device is factory defaulted. Please somebody help how to get rid of this orange light. Thanks. ### Assistant: Most probably you just need to connect a logical 1 to DI6. I say most probably because I can't tell if there is any other condition inhibiting the drive. If your drive DIs are 24V, you need to connect terminal 7 to 8 and also connect 6 to 9. If your drive DIs are 115Vac then you have to connect terminal 8 to neutral and 6 to 115Vac I recommend the quick start guide 20A-QS001_-EN-P.pdf or having a technical person on site. \\n

### Human: Powerflex70 0-10Vdc input funky I have a powerflex70 on a chiller controlling condenser fan motors. I measured the 10Vdc signal on my input terminal. But when I read what the VFD is reading with parameter 17, it's flickering between -5Vdc to 4Vdc. Installed new shielded wire between my controller output and the VFD but with the same results. See the video here: https://imgur.com/gallery/hT2VvS5 ### Assistant: Is the shield on your new cable grounded at the VFD end? Is this new cable run near AC cables (such as VFD line in or motor cables)? When you say you've measured the analog signal at your input terminals, could you be more specific? Are you saying you measured the signal at the VFD analog input terminals and the signal did not flicker on your multimeter? Using a multimeter to read the signal: have you lifted both conductors from the VFD terminals and measured it? What provides the analog input signal? A potentiometer? An analog output from a PLC? \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque and Run input Summary: STO and Run input timingI have a very simple machine with only push-buttons, relays and an old PF70 drive. We wish to at least upgrade the safety on this machine and want to use the 525 and its STO. My concern is the timing of the run and STO inputs. The simplest way to do this is to give the run and STO, using safety relays, at the same time. Will this work or will these signals being so close together cause an issue? ### Assistant: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf If you would, look at page 241 of the attached manual. If you're using an MSR - MONITORING Safety Relay, then the safety action comes from some sort of guard switch or e-stop button. The start button does not go through the MSR at all. If this is your intent, you will have no problems with timing between the start ant STO inputs because the STO input has to be made before the drive will even look at the start input. However, your description makes me think you're going to replace regular ice cube relays with these: https://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Relays-and-Timers/PCB-Pin-Style-Safety-Control-Relays And try to send both the start signal and safety signal through these to the start input and the safety input simultaneously. In this case, you will likely have a timing problem. In addition, you will not materially improve the safety of your machine. These ice-cube style relays are intended to have both of their channels used in parallel. Their contact pairs are force-guided - that is, the contacts are mechanically attached so both must make or neither does. Your simple machine probably uses only one contact of a regular relay, so adding in a safety ice cube relay without rewiring into 2-channel circuits doesn't add to safety at all. \\n

### Human: PowerFlex 527 AC Drive Safe FLT S01 Fault Summary: High rate of failures on Powerflex 527 Control Modules 25C-CTM1 - Safe FLT S01We have had our fifth PowerFlex 527 (25C) SAFE FLT S0 1 Safety Core Internal Fault over the last couple of years. We have about 25 of these on site. Knowledgebase states that the Safe FLT S01 is caused by the failures of BF1 fuse on the Control board. The Drive will safely shut down and display Fault S01. The fault is not resettable, the PowerFlex 527 control module 25C-CTM1 must be replaced. - Nobody is willing to repair. Are there any known causes for this fault? Is this a common issue? The bus fuse is a surface mount fuse rated for about 350mA. We are thinking of replacing with a higher rated fuse. Has anybody done this? ### Assistant: If it's surface-mounted, replacing it on your own is going to void ANY sort of guarantee as to safety function. Should you have a safety incident, Rockwell will fight any lawsuit and likely be successful. Can you describe the installation and wiring? Your failures seem extremely uncommon. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex400 not starting from Logic(Studio 5000 V24.0) Hello Everyone, Hope your good. This is Waseem, and facing problem with PowerFlex400. I'm controlling it over Ethernet(22-Comm-E) and Studio 5000 V24.0, I have created logic to control the VFD, Mapping also done with it in logic. The main problem is coming when im giving a start command from logic, the VFD is not starting(Drive Active Feedback not coming). I thought Communication is happening, so i pinged the IP(Working Fine), Checked in IO tree (Status Ok), In VFD property(Left Bottom Corner Showing Running). I faulted the VFD and did clear fault from logic, its working(Fault has been cleared from Logic Command). If i start it Manually Active Feedback getting in logic. Only the problem is its not taking start command from logic. My speed ref option is Com port. Please help me to come out from problem.. Thanks in advance. Regards, Waseem Akhtar ### Assistant: What is Parameter 36 (start source) set to? If you want to run from the 22-COMM-E, then I believe you must set P36 to 5 - COMM PORT. \\n


### Human: MAM Registration correction Summary: Incremental Move to Absolute Move with Registration markI have an application that is indexing paper 5.5 to a punch. I am using a incremental move to index, then reading a registration mark which triggers an event which sets a position value for an absolute move. When the move gets to within 2 of the target position I am changing dynamics to slow the velocity. I am seeing some overshoot and motion reversal in the application. Tuning adjustments do not appear to improve the overshoot. My question is, when running an incremental move and then switching to a registration move, does the incremental move command go inactive when the absolute move type is commanded, or does it still try to complete and then add the absolute move to it at the end of its process? ### Assistant: In your case, the absolute move effectively cancels the incremental move. I'm not sure where the overshoot is coming from, but check the MCD and absolute MAM decels to make sure it can hit the position without overshoot. Another option is to use a second incremental move at the 2 point instead of the absolute move. The second incremental MAM would have the lower speed, and its position would be the delta you need for registration adjustment. You wouldn't even need the MCD at that point. When the second MAM is an absolute, the motion planner has to ignore the incremental MAM since it now has somewhere specific to go. When the second MAM is also an incremental, the motion planner adds the remaining distance from the first MAM to the incremental distance from the second MAM, as well as, using the second MAM's settings for speed, accel, decel, etc. \\n

### Human: Ethernet Encoder (842E-CM-MIP3BA) for 2 controllers My understanding is that these encoders (842E-CM-MIP3BA) are configured as AXIS_CIP_DRIVE in a logix controller which, similar to a CIP drive cannot be connected to two controllers simultaneously. Our applpication involved gearing the axis to an internal virtual axis on each controller for psoition tracking. These encoders should in my mind be able to operate listen only, i.e. broadcasting timestamped encoder values, but I am doubting that this is possible. I'd love to hear otherwise; has anyone experience with these ethernet encoders? ### Assistant: You are correct, one controller wants to own the encoder. What are the real axes on your system? If they are K350, or K6500, those take auxiliary encoder inputs. You could use a regular incremental encoder and an encoder splitter such as what Motrona offers to go to a drive in each machine. The auxiliary axis can then be configured as an axis within each processor. If you really want just one encoder, you would need all the axes in one motion group in one processor. Note, one of my coworkers tried to use the CIP motion ethernet encoders. He had a LOT of problems with one of them constantly dropping out, to the point that he abandoned them for traditional encoders. \\n

### Human: PowerFlex 525 Summary: PowerFlex 525 ,460, 3ph runs single phase without faulting out.I have a situation where a A/B PowerFlex 525 3ph,460vac ,15hp drive a motor with mechanical disc brake. The brake is fed separate from L1and L2 of PowerFlex , respective a contactor that turn on-off the brake, at some point fuse on L1 blown out , but the drive didn't fault but keep running with brake engaged (not released) My question is why the drive was still running single phase without any fault ? Was because feedback from L2 through brake coil to L1 to drive ? ### Assistant: Hi I do not have experience with PF 525 but do have it with PF 70-700, my recommendations for you are: Check if the phase lost detection is on or off, Read the Knowledgebase answer 578273 and Consider installing an external phase loss relay (this is what I have done) Bye \\n


### Human: Setting parameter 445 on 753 Summary: Sensitive level in terms of %Good day, I wish to activate the phase loss on the 753 drive and I have a few questions 1. What is the correct setting of output phase loss level ( parameter 445) 2. The default setting is 200, and 200 is equal to what percentage of phase loss? 3. The sensitivity is based on voltage? M. Mahao ### Assistant: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/719367/page/1 According to this knowledgebase article: F21 is Output Phase Loss, which means that the current in one or more phases has been lost or remains below the threshold set in Parameter 445 [Out PhaseLossLvl] for one second. Decreasing the threshold in Parameter 445 [Out PhaseLossLvl] will make the drive less sensitive to tripping. This is usually necessary when the motor is smaller than the drive rating. Check for an open output contactor or any loss of connection between the drive and motor. However, I'm pretty sure that the value in P445 is NOT in units of current; otherwise, why would the default value be 200? I don't think it's percentage either. However, no where I can I find a good definition or method to set this value properly. To activate output phase loss, you need to set parameter 444 to something that is useful to you (either alarm or fault). Default setting is ignore. You should be able to view the knowledgebase article; it is tagged as being for everyone. \\n

The servo working for a hour and get an error what is: FLT S47 - FDBK Device Failure 5. I found an article in the knowledgebase what is: 585056 - Kinetix 5500 drive S45 Fault. We changed the motor, the feedback connector, cable, drive, everything. The problem exists. The cable lenght is 15m. Somebody met before this problem? After we changed the HW stuffs, we upgrade the CPU to V26 and the drives to 4.001. And the problem still exists. So what do you think what can do with this?

### Human: Synchronization (motion) between three motors using 3 PowerFlex 525 VFDs and 3 encoders? Summary: 05BH00CB02AF encoders motion synchronizationI am trying to setup the motion tracking of a large platform using three motors controlled by three VFDs. These motors have to move at the same pace and be 100% synchronized otherwise the platform will break or the motors will get damaged. The drives are PowerFlex 525 with one encoder on each motor communicating with the encoder on the VFD. The encoder is 05BH00CB02AF. I am wondering what is the best way to sync the motion of these motors? and how to have safety check in place to stop the motion if one motor goes out of sync? I haven't seen the parameters from the encoders yet, but just wanted to check if Rockwell provides any modules that can handle motion synchronization? ### Assistant: You can't do this with 525 VFDs by themselves, but you could with 755s and some encoder splitters. In this scenario, one of the 3 motors would be the master and you would give speed commands to it. The other two motors will be slaves. The slaves will need two encoder cards (one for its encoder, one for the encoder signal coming from the master. The master encoder signal needs to go to the master drive and the two slaves, so you will need two encoder splitters to get three separate signal paths. Alternatively, you could use the PF755s and a single encoder card each, and also a CompactLogix processor capable of motion control - a 1769L30ERM or a 5069-L310ERM for instance. This eliminates the need for the encoder splitters and gives a lot more capability to the system, but at higher cost. I'm very partial to the compactlogix motion control approach. Going cheap on the application you describe will cost you in the end. 525 drives are not up to the task. \\n

### Human: PF 755T controlnet card Summary: Port error message I have a problem with a new drive 755T revision 14, the old one is broken,so I have to change it (same part number),but I also have to connect to ControlNet and I have the following message on rslogix 5000 (v19): Connected communication port number does not match between the project and the drive With the RSLogix 5000 Project offline, do a Match Drive within the Module Definition I tried to do that ,adapted to ControlNet: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/522818>https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/522818>https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/522818 When I tried to match with offline project I had the following message:Unable to match to online drive.Connected comm module does not match I updated the AOP (AOP for PowerFlex 755T (v20+) and all PowerFlex drives (v31+) v5.04 ) according the tech note: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/507211>https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/507211>https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/507211 but the above message is still appearing. Software and hardware list: Rslogix 5000 v19 1756-L61 FW 19 755T REV 14.01 I saw a May be compatible between the above AOP and Rslogix 5000 19.01,but I don't know if is the cause. I thought could be an option to connect this drive by Ethernet via embedded card ,but may be I will have the same message. I appreciate any suggestion Thanks Silvia ### Assistant: The old drive had a Controlnet card in exactly the same slot as your new one? Your error messages imply that the old drive had a completely different comm card than the new one. The tech notes are talking about card revisions. Your quoted message implies something like the program is expecting an ethernet card while the drive has a controlnet card. What is the EXACT error message you're getting? Was the old drive a 755T? or just a 755? They are not interchangeable. \\n


### Human: Power Flex 755 encoder card Summary: What might be reasons that causes encoder card failure in powerflex 755 drives. ### Assistant: We've encountered a number of ENC1 incremental encoder input card failures for PF750 drives (one customer's drive has eaten 3 of them, I think).

Step5:New window is opened,but this window is frozen,not respond for a long time; Step6:Close this window, error message come out HRESULT Code:0x800706be,the remote procedure call failed ### Assistant: I have find the reason why DriveExecutive have error happen and stay long time while add Peripheral. It is because my hard disk has very small space,less than 1G. I have tried serveral computer with big disk space, this function can be launch normally. \\n


### Human: Mcirologix 1400 Ethernet to Danfoss FC302 Summary: Can I connect to the Danfoss FC302 c/w MCA121 kit onboardHello I have been reading the Danfoss manual on the MCA121 EIP card and it refers to connection with RS Logix 5000 later than version 20.0 Do you know if I can connect a 1400 using RSlogix 500 EIP or am I barking up the wrong tree. Any reference would be appreciated. Thanks Marshall ### Assistant: Welcome to the Forum! I guess it is not possible, as the device probably requires an I/O connection over Ethernet/IP (CIP class 1 message) that isn't supported on MIcrologix 1400. You may check if there are some information about explicit message (CIP class 3 message) on Danfoss guide, but it would be not a good way to try to control the device, though. - fuzzy logic In order to enhance the reputation of the Forum's contributors, please rate the replies you got and remember to close the thread clicking Choose as Best Answer button over the solving answer.

### Human: Getting Fault code 9 followed by Fault code 5 Summary: Can a blip current spike cause a drive to get Over Volt fault ?We have 150 HP motor that keeps getting a fault code 9 (Transistor Over temp) then followed up with a fault code 5 ( Over Volt). We put a Fluke metering on the drive while it was running and took samples of Current , Voltage on each phases. We saw we would get a blip of a current spike then the drive would follow up with a voltage spike and fault with a fault code 5. This would happen when the drive was running but not under load (cant bottom profiler knives not processing product at the time) and moving into position for the next cant set. So we are trying to figure out if we have a drive going bad or a motor torque issue. By the way when it faults it's set fault to coast and free spins for about 7 minutes. Any thoughts Drive or motor..... ### Assistant: What drive is this? How is the drive configured? Vector with feedback? Do you have a dynamic braking resistor? What speeds does the code 9 fault happen? \\n


### Human: Powerflex 755 No converters port 11 please help Summary: HIM module is showing this message can someone elaborate pleasePowerflex 755 drive giving me No converters in port 11 message on HIM someone please elaborate. ### Assistant: Did the converter section on this large drive get serviced or replaced? That message means there's something wrong with the fiber optic connections. Are you also getting 11142, 11242, 11342 errors? See page 347 of the 750-PM001 manual. Also see the re-rate section in the troubleshooting chapter, page 353. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 525 VFD Summary: Powerflex 525: Not showing ADC optionI have 10 powerflex 525 module in my program and all of them have ADC option except for one VFD. I compared all setting with the one which has this option and everything looks same, Anyone can tell me what am I doing wrong here? ### Assistant: In the image you shared, we can see two different drive tabs. The one labeled VFD80205 shows firmware 5.002. The one labeled VFD80305 shows firmware version 5.001. Since you can't see the ADC branch for that drive, the first thing I'd try is flashing VFD80305 up to firmware 5.002 to see if that fixes the problem. \\n


### Human: Drive Program Does anyone know if I can transfer the program settings from a PowerFlex 700 to a 753 so that i don't have to completely redo the setup. I'm not sure if the setups are the same and when the replacement comes in production is going to want it ASAP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ### Assistant: Refer to 20him-um001 document if you want to copy data from a PF700 to 753. Read page 50, Using the CopyCat Function. All you do, just upload data to PF700's HIM and use the PF700's HIM to download data to PF753. \\n


### Human: Electronic Gear with PowerFlex 753 Hi, I have an Electronic Gearing Application in which a motor has to follow a segmented conveyor. The conveyor will have an incremental encoder coupled to it and so will the motor. I have done Electronic Gearing before utilizing a PowerFlex 700S and an induction motor. For that case I only needed to vary the Ratio which I did with a PanelView connected via DNet. In this case the Ratio will be fixed but once the motor and the conveyor be geared I will have to put the motor in phase with the conveyor which I would like to do by means of two buttons (advance - retard) I still haven't put much thinking on this. I would like to know if this can be done with a PF 753. I would like a simple application without using PF 755, PLC, PanelView. Thank you ### Assistant: It's doable. There are several knowledgebase articles which discuss what you're trying to do. https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/69877/page/1 https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/69750/page/1 \\n


### Human: Power Flex 525 trips on F072 Summary: Power Flex 525 trips on F072I have around 11 nos of PF525 connected to the control logix system with L71 ( version 20) and 1756-en2tr ( supervisor enabled ) and a remote rack with 1756-en2tr ( supervisor not enabled) . The drives are connected in DLR . Under normal situations the system is fine , but once drives start one by one , a random drive trips on F072 , once i reset the drive it again works Ok for some time , but after some time any other random drive trips on F072. However if i make the network linear then the drives are running fine and there is no trip at all . but once i make network in ring the issues start appearing . I also replaced one of ethernet cable ( the one , when i removed the network becomes stable in linear ) with rockwell ethernet cable but still issues remain same. The drives do have ferrite core at the input and output Any suggestion to remove this unwanted noise ?? ### Assistant: The drive is reporting fault F072 on its display. Does your control network monitor network status for each Ethernet device? Is the Logix processor seeing the same dropout for whatever drive drops out? How long is each Ethernet cable connecting each node of the ring? Things to try: Change the ring supervisor over to the remote rack's EN2TR. Disable the supervisor in the primary rack. Change out the primary rack EN2TR. What would be wrong with leaving the network as linear? \\n

### Human: 700S run status through digital output Hi all, We have a PF 700S drive that we would like to read from DO1 or DO2 terminals of the drive that if the drive is running or not (0V drive is not running, 24V drive is running). From the knowledgebase I found out that by default Parameter 384 (Digital Out2 Sel) in the PowerFlex 70/700 drive is set to 4 (RUN). I am not familiar with 700S. Does anyone know if it is possible to signal the run status of the drive using one of the digital outputs? Thank you in advance, Jessica Diameron ### Assistant: Link Parameter 155 (Logic Status word) to Parameter 845 (DigOut 2 Data) and set Parameter 846 (DigOut 2 Bit) to 1 which is the Running Status bit For instructions on linking parameters see the programming manual 20d-pm001_-en-p.pdf Parameter Links Section Jose R.

### Human: Commutation lost cip motion with drive 755 Summary: After a power shut down or network lost, the cip motion goes to fault . I need to do a commutation to fix itGood morning I face to an issue on a conveyor driven in cip motion as Speedregulation. In fact, i have 4 consecutives conveyors with Same Brussless, same Drive. After a power shut down, one of the Conveyor is running in opposite direction shot time and goes to fault. We compare the prameter with other CIP motion, but all setting are similar. We switch the motor between conveyor, same issue. We swith drive between conveyor, same issue. we run out of idea about what to do. We found a rockwell blocs MRHD that can do the commutation by program. but it is a weird situation. And we still don't know how to collect the information commutation lost. Is someone have an idea for it? ### Assistant: You cannot change motor forward direction by setting it via DriveExecutive, CCW, or the HIM keypad. You must set forward direction using the hookup tests within the axis properties in Logix. Logix overwrites the entire drive parameter set with its own values. \\n


### Human: MAS that does not work anymore Summary: MAS that does not work anymoreHello, I have 2 machines the same, 1 l306erm automaton in each machine and 2 kinetix 5500 drives in each I develop the program on the first machine, no worries.

### Human: Powerflex 755 loses Motion parameters Summary: PF-755 loses motion parameters during communication faultWe have a Powerflex 755 with Motion control , connected to clx to en2tr having L85 as processor Software is studio 5000 with version 32 Normally we have the drive working fine with motion control , however some times when there is communication failure , the drives motion parameters get lost and we need to reprogram it again . I tried checking for ADC but cant see in the drive properties where the ADC option is present , i guess for 755 with CIP motion , the ADC configuration is not present . Any suggestions on this ### Assistant: When using a PF755 in CIP motion, ALL parameters come from the processor. You cannot program the drive directly (such as with CCW or DriveExecutive). Are you saying the PLC is losing the parameters defined in the axis properties page of the ControlLogix triee? You do not need ADC for such an application; in fact it can be a real hassle sometimes. When a Logix processor connects to a PF755 in a CIP motion environment, it downloads ALL parameters necessary. If you are setting parameters in the drive, then starting the processor, all the work you did setting the parameters gets wiped out by the PLC. This is a feature of Logix, not a bug. In this way, all programming happens within the logix environment. Call it one-stop programming. You do not have to set up logix programming, then motion programming in a different environment, then drive parameters in a third environment. \\n


### Human: PF-753 Motor High current Summary: Motor takes high current during No load startupWe have PF-753 connected to 1.5Kw motor (for conveyor ) use . during some time startup on no load the current goes above 8A and the drive trips on overcurrnet. However under normal circumstances current starts at 7 and drops to 3 A which is normal . I checked the motor parameters entered and they are OK . The Accel time was 1 sec which we changed to 3 sec , but still same result The VFD is controlled through Ethernet . Any ideas ### Assistant: Hello again Raulvaze. What mode is the 753 operating? V/Hz, Sensorless Vector, Vector Open Feedback, or full Vector mode with feedback? Had this drive been previously configured for a different motor? We've encountered some instances where, even though you've gone through an autotune, not all parameters were set for the new motor. The fix for that situation is to perform a drive reset-to-defaults using the HIM; do not use CCW software reset-to-defaults (we know for a fact this does not work). Then go through a drive autotune. Resetting the drive back to factory defaults and re-autotuning may sound like a hassle, but it has fixed problems such as you have described numerous times for us. \\n


### Human: FactoryTalk Network Manager Hi Guys, who knows about the new Software FactoryTalk Network Manager? I am trying to get the connection with a stratix 5700 but no success. I think i do not know how to really configure the network Manager so that it sees the switch. Now just for the test i have a LAN cable from switch (any port) to the host PC where Network Manager is installed; the IP of the PC is in the same range like the switch. i can not find where to add a new topic/post, that is why i posted this in here, sorry. Any ideas? thank you ### Assistant: Yes, the .alarm and .faulted bits come from the PF40. You are correct; from this logic, ANY alarm or ANY fault will turn on bit 31. The PF40 does not offer a lot of diagnostics. The parameter list offers parameters 7, 8, and 9 as Fault Code 1, 2 and 3, the three most recent faults. You could use MSG instructions to get the code stored in those three parameters. You would then need to create a look-up table based on data you can find here: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/22b-um001_-en-e.pdf Refer to section 4-3, page 95 of the PDF above. There's nothing wrong with the code. The drive is a simple drive. If you want a lot of useful diagnostics, a PF750 will give much more (at higher cost). This code tells you the drive faulted. You'd have to go to the drive, look at the fault code displayed on the LED display, and then look it up in the user manual. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 525 Summary: My drive is putting out 24v on my safe inputsMy drive is putting out 24v on my safe inputs, I'm trying to input the 24v from a relay. Is there a parameter that I can change in the drive that will stop the drive from outputting and take an input? ### Assistant: Page 239 of the user manual: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf Shows removal of the factory-installed jumper on the safety terminals in order to use Safe Torque Off. Did you remove the jumper? With the jumper installed, you would see voltage on the S1 and S2 terminals when measured to DC Common. Otherwise, there is no way for the S1 and S2 terminals to be sourcing voltage. They are only input terminals. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 40 Output Current Summary: Why would a drive show output current when the motor is not motoring?I have a Powerflex 40 with a dynamic breaking setup. When the drive is running in forward, but with zero command speed, d001 shows there is current output but no hertz. Why would there be current output if the motor is not actually motoring? ### Assistant: You will have no frequency but there will still be a voltage out to the motor as long as the drive is not actually stopped. Zero speed does not mean the same as stopped. you are still providing the motor with magnetizing current. \\n


### Human: Looking for an AC Vector Drive Recommendation Hi, I am wondering if Rockwell has an AC vector drive that would meet the following requirements: (1) Power 220 VAC 3 phase (2) Capable of closed loop speed control using feedback in the form of a frequency (from and encoder or ring-kit w/ open-collector speed sensor). (3) Ability to display measured speed (from speed sensor) and to allow set point entry in scaled engineering units of my choice rather than Hz or even motor RPM. (This would be for a web handling machine, so I would like to be enter speed set points in ft/min and have actual speed also displayed in ft/min). This will require the drive to allow me to enter a scale factor to relate feedback from the speed sensor to ft/min taking into account my gear reductions, roll diameters, etc. (4) Allow set point entry using a built-in interface on the drive itself (keypad w/ LED display) rather than requiring the use of an HMI (5) Ability to follow a master speed reference that would be supplied to the drive as a frequency. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Paul ### Assistant: Please explore TechNote 581453 \\n


### Human: Multiple Drives Similar Failure- Grenading resistors. Summary: All 3 have blown the same resistor.In the last two weeks we've had 3 drives literally explode the R14 resistor on the main board of the drive. All three drives are catalog no 20G11G D 014 AA0NNNNN Frame 1 Series A 755 I doubt the problem is dirt, because we have the same model drive in dirtier areas that have been running for several years. If someone could point me in the right direction to find a solution to the probelm or explain what the resistor does, it will help me diagnose the problem. ### Assistant: What has changed in / around the application where these drives reside? The image you've shared is of a drive manufactured in November 2011. These are not new drives. If they've been running for years, and then suddenly failed, what changed in the area? Did something change in the utility power? Recent maintenance on the motors? New installation of equipment on the same utility feed? Something is different than the way things were three weeks ago. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 755 Dual Encoder AqB Feedback. Summary: PowerFlex 755 CIP Motion With Dual Encoder AqB Feedback. Manuals are contradicting themselves.Hello all, Can you have a Universal Feedback Card in a PowerFlex 755 Drive and use Dual AqB Feedback on Both Channels with two A B Z encoders? I'm working on a project which involves dual encoder feedback and CIP motion (I've listed the hardware and software which I'm using at the bottom of the post). I've found that there is some contradictory information in the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual (750-pm001) and the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Technical Data (750-td001). The PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual Appendix F (Page 522) shows that in Table 30 Universal Feedback Type and Connections that Digital AqB can be used. The wiring for the terminals are shown in the table. The PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Technical Data Encoder Combinations Compatible with Universal Feedback Boards(Page 153) shows that two incremental A B Z encoders can't be used. I've attached Images of both tables to this post. (One is the image attached to the post, the other is the file. There seems no way for linking multiple images). Can anyone provide some more detail on AqB? Which encoders use this feedback type other than A B Z? Hardware: Guard Logix 5580 Controller (1756-L82ES).

### Human: 1339 PLUSII Summary: Erratic frequency response on start-up accel rampWe're having a problem with an older drive starting a pump in auto when commanded to do so from the plc. On start-up it will trip and give us an alarm code 06 Motor Stall Fault. The description for the fault states that the current stayed above the [Current Limit} setting for more than 4 seconds. So I did some investigating with a 1730 Fluke Energy Logger because it can measure all three phases for volts, amps, hertz, KKw Kvar, etc... I also did some digging around through the settings. The Accel time was set for 17 seconds. The Motor NP fla is 285 Motor np volts is 460 RPM 1785 HP 250 I recorded the motor running from start up for 22 hours and the results surprised me. During the start-up acceleration to speed the frequency was very jumpy. There is a huge spike in frequency when the motor starts and it doesn't settle down until well after the accel time is over. Every time the frequency adjusts there are several spikes in the direction of the change. and the average volts/hertz ratio is 8.1343 (average of 6 measurements taken during acceleration). So my question is which is the most likely culprit, the main control board, the gate driver board, or the isolation board? Which should I check second? Which should I check last? Regards ### Assistant: Can you use DriveExecutive to trend commanded speed speed and feedback speed (if available)? Comparing the drive's commanded speed to the chart you have now from the fluke meter would provide some insight. Your chart makes it look like your set speed is 55Hz. The 17 second ramp gets you to 52.75hz, and then the drive takes another two minutes to get to 55 hz. The spikes you refer to are about .75hz in amplitude, and it looks like they last for about 5-10 seconds each. Can you describe the load this motor turns? Is it high inertia? How does the drive control the motor: V/hz, sensorless vector, closed loop vector? \\n


### Human: Master/Slave Axis on CIP Motion PF755 Drive Summary: Slave-Master Using CIP Motion on PowerFlex 755 Drive.Hello Everyone, Simply: Is there a way to see the raw encoder counts coming into the PowerFlex 755 drive with a Dual Encoder Card? The only thing I see when the drive & axis have been setup is the scaled Actual Position. I'm working on a project in my office as a proof of concept. (I've listed the hardware and software which I'm using at the bottom of the post). I want to create a Master-Slave system where I can move the master encoder to an angle from 0 to 90 degrees with my hand. The slave motor will follow the motion from 0 to 90 degrees. I am confident in how to program the PLC system to make this work once I can access the raw counts from the Dual Encoder Card. I've attached a One-Note drawing showing a general look at the system. Hardware: Guard Logix 5580 Controller (1756-L82ES). PowerFlex 755 AC Drive with Embedded Ethernet/IP & Safe Speed Card (20G11NB2P2JA0NNNNN). Dual Encoder Card DENC-1. Universal Feedback Card UFB-1. 3 Phase AC Motor. Push Button Switch. Software: Studio 5000 Logix Designer Version 31. RSLinx Classic Version 3.51.00 or Later. ### Assistant: Unless I've missed something new in V31/V32 Logix, you cannot do what you've diagrammed. Even though all the hardware is there, Rockwell does not permit the master axis to come in through a PF755 port. I've wanted to do what you've diagrammed for several different projects. Only Kinetix drives permit the master axis to come in through a drive (K6500, K6200, K5700, and the old K2000). You CAN do this if you do not use CIP Motion. PF755 has the ability to do electronic gearing without a motion processor. As soon as you go CIP motion, you cannot. Sounds like a Catch-22, doesn't it? If you want CIP motion and a master encoder, you'd have to use one of these: https://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Motion-Control/Integrated-Motion-on-EtherNet-IP-Absolute-Encoder They are NOT inexpensive, and I'm not at all sure they're worth the cost. We've done a number of applications with PF755 drives controlled as standard drives executing electronic gearing using the 16 Datalink pairs and some MSG instructions. It's not quite as elegant as CIP motion instructions, but it works. \\n

### Human: DriveExecutive, PowerFlex 753 and 20-750-DENC-1 Summary: Can't configure a PF 753 with a DENC card in DriveExecutive 5.02Hi, I'm trying to create a Powerflex 753 with a Dual Encoder board 20-750-DENC-1 using DriveExecutive 5.02 but DriveExecutive doesn't allows me. I created one using CCW software V 11.00 from a friend's computer My question: Is there any version of DriveExecutive that allows me to create a PF753 with a DENC? it's just that CCW and I don't get along well together Thank you ### Assistant: I think your problem is the DriveExecutive version. You should upgrade to 5.06.03 (the last supported version of DriveExecutive). In addition, there may be some drives database file upgrades necessary to make this work. Go to Rockwell's PCDC site, pick the downloads section, type in DRIVES in the search box. The first one that comes back is drives database files for CCW. The second one is drives database files for DriveTools (DriveExecutive). \\n
