Contents This publication provides instructions for replacing the main control board
for PowerFlex 400 Frames D through H drives. For additional drive
information, refer to the PowerFlex 400 User Manual, publication
22C-UM001....
What This Kit Contains •Main control board assembly consisting of a main control board, an LCD
Human Interface Module (HIM), and a plastic tray
•Four spare tapping φ4*8 mm screws (for Frame D) and
four spare M4*8 mm screws (for Frames E-H)

Safety Precautions The following general precautions apply to the PowerFlex 400 drive.
!ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the
voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before performing
any work on the drive. Wait five minutes for the capacitors to
discharge. Then, measure the DC bus voltage at the DC- and
DC+ terminals or at the DC- and P2 terminals on the power
terminal block. The voltage must be zero.
A darkened LCD display and LEDs are not an indication that
capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.
!Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction
and operation of this equipment and hazards involved should
install, start and/or adjust this equipment. Read and understand
these instructions in their entirety before proceeding. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or
loss of life.
!ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic
Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or
repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with
static control procedures, reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2,
“Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage” or any other
applicable ESD protection handbook.

Recording Parameter
Settings from the Main
Control Board
Before removing the old main control board, you need to record the
parameters and their values from it.
Recording user parameters
1. Power up the drive.
2. Use DriveExplorer or the 22-HIM CopyCat feature to copy all the user
parameters from the old main control board.
3. Save the user parameters into a file.
You may download this file onto the new main control board after it is
installed.
Recording hidden parameters
Check to see if there is a label next to the keypad on the control board.
The label lists these parameters:
•d321 [DriveType]
•H446
•H447
•H448

If your drive has this label, record the values on the label.
Otherwise, follow this procedure to record the values from the drive.
1. Go to parameter A196.
The default value of A196 is 0400.
2. Enter a value of 7625 (Hex) for A196.
The hidden parameter group H appears.
3. Record the values in the hidden parameters H418, H446, H447, and
H448.
4. Reset the value of A196 to 0400.
If the label is not present, and the main control board cannot communicate
with the keypad or DriveExplorer, please contact Rockwell Automation

10 PowerFlex 400 Frames D-H Replacement Procedure for Main Control Board
Programming the
Parameters for the Main
Control Board
1. Power up the drive.
2. Go to parameter A196 and enter the value 7625.
3. Set the following parameters to the values obtained from the old main
control board:
–H418 [Set Drive Type]
–H446 [DC-bus Cal 1]
–H447 [DC-bus Cal 2]
–H448 [DC-bus Cal 3]
4. Go to parameter A196 and enter the default value of 0400.
This hides the H group parameters.
5. Go to parameter P041 and enter a value of 1.
This resets the drive to the factory defaults for the drive type selected in
parameter H418.
6. Use DriveExplorer or a 22-HIM to download the user parameters copied
from the old main control board to the new board.
IMPORTANT To ensure proper operation, set these values to exactly
match the values from the old main control board.
!ATTENTION: The hidden parameters are internal drive
parameters. Making any changes other than those specified here
can result in erroneous operation or drive failure.
