PowerFlex 700 Technical Data
20B-TD001F-EN-P 3
Standard Drives Program
Flexible Packaging and Mounting
• IP20, NEMA/UL Type 1 – For conventional mounting inside or outside a control cabinet. Conduit plate is removable
for easy installation and replacement without disturbing conduit.
• IP54, NEMA/UL Type 12 – Stand-alone, wall mount drives are available for dust tight applications with power ratings
from 75 to 200 Hp (Frames 5 & 6).
• IP54, NEMA/UL Type 12 – Flange mount drives with an IP00, NEMA/UL Type Open front. These can be installed in
a user supplied cabinet to meet IP54, NEMA/UL Type 12. This allows the majority of heat to be exhausted out the back
of the cabinet while keeping the cabinet protected. Power ratings range from 75 to 700 Hp (Frames 5…10).
• 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.
Space Saving Hardware Features
• Integral EMC Filtering plus built-in DC bus choke common mode cores and common mode capacitors provides a
compact, all-in-one package solution for meeting EMC requirements, including CE in Europe. Frames 0…6 only
(Frames 7…10 meet CE when installed per recommendations).
• Internal Communications allow the user to integrate the drive into the manufacturing process. Status indicators for all
internal communication options are visible on the cover for easy setup and monitoring of drive communications. Users
can easily manage information from shop floor to top floor and seamlessly integrate their complete system as they
control, configure and collect data.
• Integral Dynamic Brake Transistor delivers a cost effective means of switching regenerative energy without costly
external chopper circuits. These internal transistors are available in power ratings from 0.5 to 200 Hp.
• Internal Dynamic Brake Resistor (up to 25 Hp) requires no extra panel space, and supplies a large amount of braking
torque for short periods.
Easy to Use Human Interface Tools
The PowerFlex 7-Class AC drives provide common Human Interface tools that are familiar and easy to use. These include
the LCD Human Interface modules and PC-based configuration tools.
• LCD Human Interface modules provide:
- Large and easy to read 7 line x 21 character backlit display
- Variety of languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch)
- Alternate function keys for shortcuts to common tasks
- “Calculator-like” number pad for fast and easy data entry (Full Numeric version only)
- Control keys for local start, stop, speed, and direction
- Remote versions for panel mount application
• PC-based Configuration tools include:
- DriveExplorer™ and DriveExplorer Lite. Simple and flexible “On-line” tools for monitoring and configuring while
connected to a drive.
- DriveTools™ SP. A suite of software tools which provide an intuitive means for programming, troubleshooting and
maintaining Allen-Bradley AC & DC drives.
• For simplified AC drive start-up and reduced development time, we’ve integrated Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drive
configuration with RSLogix5000® software. This single-software approach simplifies parameter and tag programming
while still allowing stand-alone drive software tool use on the factory floor.
