The Allen-BradleyPowerFlex Family of AC Drives
Compact PowerFlex drives meet w orld pow er ratings, packaging
requirements and industrial standards straight out -of-the-box.
Pow erFlex drives can display programming and operator interface
text in multiple languages, including Dutch, English, French,
German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
The most recent advances in AC drive technology focus on size
and performance improvements of the pow er swit ching devices
known as isolated gated bipolar transistors, or IGBTs. Leveraging
research at the Rockwell Science Center on IGBTs resulted in
low er conduction losses, reducing the size of Pow erFlex 70 and
PowerFlex 700 drives while increasing reliability. The PowerFlex 7000
incorporates new pow er semiconductor technology called
Symmet rical Gate Commutat ed Thyristor (SGCT). These SGCT
components lower conduction and switching losses while
increasing reliabil i ty.

To optimize a process, operators need to be f amiliar w ith both
individual drive performance and how mult iple drives work together.
Extensive interviews w ith global drive users confirmed that
commonality across platforms f rom netw orks and hardware to
communications and operator interface programming increases
an operators understanding of i ndividual and l inked drives and
decreases training time. In response to this input, Pow erFlexdrives build upon a common programming core while
incorporating an advanced, common operator int erface to expand
operator ease of use and simplify multiple drive integration.
Drive users also requested simpler and faster startup methods.
PowerFlex drives feature S.M .A.R.T. Start, a startup uti l i ty
available in the Pow erFlex 70 and 700 w hen using an LCD Human
Interface M odule (HIM ). S.M .A.R.T. St artprovides users wi th fast
and easy set-up of the m ost commonly programmed parameters,
allowing for set-up of the drive without in-depth knowledge of the
parameter structure. In facil i t ies requiring set up of single ormultiple drives, S.M .A.R.T. Star twill reduce startup time.
The Set-up W izard in the PowerFlex 7000 drive helps the user
to set t he required parameter menus by asking questions or
prompting selections f or desired operation. Error messages and
comments appear, complete w ith help text, to keep the user on
the right t rack.

The Pow erflex 7000 M edium Voltage PW M AC drive increases
performance and system eff iciency by eliminating the need for an
isolation transformer with the PWM rectif ier and saves facil i ty
space w ith its decreased physical size. The unique design of the
PowerFlex 7000 features a patented PowerCage that houses the
main power components in a compact, modular package. The
rugged characteristics and innovative arrangement of the SGCT
pow er components result in a low er component count and an
inherent improvement in reliabil i ty enabling a low er cost of
ow nership from init ial purchase price to long-term
maintenance costs.
The PowerFlex 7000 is available in a 6-pulse, 18-pulse and PWM
rectif ier design to give the user the utmost f lexibil i ty in reducing
line side harmonics. It also f eatures sensorless direct vector control
for better low -speed performance compared to volts-per-hertz
drives, and the abil i t y to control mot or torque similar to DC drives.

The PowerFlex family of drives utilizes Rockwell Automation's
NetLinx Open Network Architecture. This provides the common
set of features and services for DeviceNet, ControlNet and
EtherNet/IP networks resulting in lower total cost of ownership.
Users can easily manage information from shop floor to top floor
and seamlessly integrate their complete system as they control,
configure and collect data. This optional built-in connectivity helps
OEMs, end-users and systems integrators cost-effectively
assemble highly integrated applications that link drives to the
manufacturing process through Rockwell Automation NetLinx
Open Architecture based networks including:
DeviceNet
ControlNet
In addition to the NetLinx-based networks, the PowerFlex
family of drives also supports:
Universal Remote I/O
RS485 DF1
Other open communications networks including Profibus
and Interbus-S

PowerFlex drives undergo rigorous factory testing including
extensive qualification tests, beta site testing, the exclusive
Rockwell Automation Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT),
printed circuit board verification, and finished drive audits. These
tests, along with ongoing manufacturing process improvements
and quality monitoring, result in superior drive quality and
reliability for users.
But, quality is more than just hardware. It takes intelligent
software to keep the product continually operating. PowerFlex
drives have software that continually monitors operating status to
ensure process variations can be responded to without resulting in
downtime. For example, the active thermal manager allows the
drive to recognize excessive overload conditions and make
internal adjustments that minimize conditions such as drive
overheating. In addition, the bus regulation feature can manage
line overvoltage or regenerative situations to prevent nuisance
tripping that interferes with continuous process control. For added
motor protection, PowerFlex drives include reflected wave
reduction software to minimize damaging peak voltages caused
by pulse width modulation (PWM) pulse reflection and electronic
motor overload software to protect the motor from overload
and overheating.
All of these features combine to make PowerFlex drives nearly
trip-free, maximizing user uptime and productivity.
