24 Rockwell Automation Publication 7000-UM202H-EN-P - November 2023
Chapter 1 PowerFlex 7000 Drive Overview
Remote-mounted HIM
The HIM 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
HIM is supplied loose for you to mount wherever desired. The HIM connects to
the VFD via a hardwired ethernet cable. There is no significant functional
distance limitation.
This is ideal for non-PLC users wanting to control and monitor remotely (for
example, at the driven machine or control room). This is also ideal if you, for
example, have policies in place to control access to medium voltage equipment
and the associated requirements of PPE when using the operator interface at
the VFD.
No HIM supplied
A service access port (RJ-45 connector) is located on the LV door of the VFD.
You can use your own laptop as the HIM. All programs required to use the
laptop as the HIM are stored in the VFD. Their laptop is connected to the VFD
via a hardwired Ethernet cable, when required. This is ideal for unmanned
sites, where a dedicated HIM is not required.
