PowerFlex 7000 Drive Overview Chapter 1
Operator Interface
The human-machine interface (HMI) board is an HMI-enabling device for the
PowerFlex 7000 drive. The board lets you acquire all the necessary executable
tools, documentation, and reports required to commission, troubleshoot, and
maintain the drive.
Via the HMI board, the user can choose the style and size of the desired
Windows-based operator terminal to interact with the drive (for example,
PanelView™ CE terminal, laptop, or desktop computer). The HMI board
removes past issues with compatibility between the drive and configuration
tools, as all the necessary tools are acquired from the drive.
The HMI board is well suited for applications that require remote placement
of the operator terminal and remote maintenance.

Basic Configurations
There are three basic configurations for the HMI.
Remote-mounted HMI
The HMI is not mounted in the traditional location on the low voltage door of
the VFD. A remote mounting plate, complete with E-Stop push button, and
HMI is supplied loose for you to mount wherever desired. The HMI connects
to the VFD via a hardwired ethernet cable. There is no significant functional
distance limitation.
