PowerFlex 4 and 40 AC Drives
Versatile Programming and Network Solutions
• PowerFlex 4 and PowerFlex 40 are compatible with
any device that acts as a RTU Master and supports
standard 03 and 06 RTU commands.
• A network can be configured using PowerFlex 40
drives with optional communication cards for high
performance and flexible configuration capabilities.
– BACnet
– ControlNet
– DeviceNet
– EtherNet/IP
– LonWorks
– PROFIBUS DP
• A multi-drive solution can be reached using a single
PowerFlex 40 DeviceNet option, with the ability for
up to five drives to reside on one node.
• Integral RS485 communications enable the drives to
be used in a multi-drop network configuration. A
serial converter module (SCM) provides connectivity
to any controller with a DF1 port. The SCM can be
eliminated if the controller acts as a RTU Master.
PC Programming Software
Through the use of a Serial Converter Module and
DriveExplorer™ or DriveTools™ SP software,
programming can be greatly simplified.
DriveExplorer Software
• View and modify drive and adapter parameters in
a method similar to the file management capability
of Microsoft Windows Explorer.
• Operate the drive via an on-screen Control Bar,
which is a tool that allows you to start, stop, and
change the speed reference of the drive.
• Save, restore and print parameter information.
• Compare current parameters with factory defaults
or previously saved parameter values.
• Edit, upload and download parameters.
DriveTools SP Software
• Online and offline programming capability
• In-grid and dialog-based parameter editing
• Immediate visual indication of drive and communication status when viewing online drive
• Integrated HTML Help architecture
