Preface
General Precautions Qualified Personnel
Personal Safety
Product Safety
ATTENTION: Allow only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency
AC drives and associated machinery to plan or implement the installation,
start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply can
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the
bus capacitors has discharged before performing any work on the drive.
Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC terminal of the Power Terminal Block
and the -DC test point (refer to PowerFlex 70 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive
Installation Instructions, publication 20A-IN009 for locations). The voltage must
be zero.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI or SCANport host
products must not be directly connected together via 1202 cables.
Unpredictable behavior can result if two or more devices are connected in this
manner.
ATTENTION: The drive start/stop/enable control circuitry includes solid state
components. If hazards due to accidental contact with moving machinery or
unintentional flow of liquid, gas, or solids exist, an additional hardwired stop
circuit may be required to remove the AC line to the drive. An auxiliary braking
method may be required.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component
damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, such as,
undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures can result in malfunction of the system.
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 can 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.
ATTENTION: Configuring an analog input for 0-20 mA operation and driving it
from a voltage source could cause component damage. Verify proper
configuration prior to applying input signals.
ATTENTION: A contactor or other device that routinely disconnects and
reapplies the AC line to the drive to start and stop the motor can cause drive
hardware damage. The drive is designed to use control input signals to start and
stop the motor. If an input device is used, operation must not exceed one cycle
per minute or drive damage can occur.

10 Rockwell Automation Publication 20A-UM001N-EN-P - July 2013
Preface
Output Contactor Precaution
ATTENTION: Nuisance tripping can occur in Standard Control firmware revision
1.011 and earlier due to unstable currents. When using a motor that is
connected for a voltage that is different from the drive (for example, by using a
230V connected motor with a 460V drive) the following adjustment must be
made to “Stability Gain” by using DriveExplorer software and a personal
computer.
Any adjustment made to “Stability Gain” must be manually restored if the drive
is reset to defaults or is replaced.
If unstable currents are still present after making the adjustment, contact the
factory for assistance.
ATTENTION: The “adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator function is extremely
useful for preventing nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive
decelerations, overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. It forces the output
frequency to be greater than commanded frequency while the drive’s bus
voltage is increasing towards levels that can cause a fault; however, it can also
cause either of the following two conditions to occur.
•Fast positive changes in input voltage (more than a 10% increase within 6
minutes) can cause uncommanded positive speed changes; however an F25
“OverSpeed Limit” fault occurs if the speed reaches P82 [Max Speed] + P83
[Overspeed Limit]. If this condition is unacceptable. Take action to 1) limit
supply voltages within the specification of the drive and, 2) limit fast positive
input voltage changes to less than 10%. Without taking such actions, if this
operation is unacceptable, the “adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator
function must be disabled (see parameters 161 [Bus Reg Mode A] and 162 [Bus
Reg Mode B]).
•Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded deceleration times;
however, a “Decel Inhibit” fault is generated if the drive stops decelerating
altogether. If this condition is unacceptable, the “adjust freq” portion of the bus
regulator must be disabled (see parameters 161 [Bus Reg Mode A] and 162 [Bus
Reg Mode B]). In addition, installing a properly sized dynamic brake resistor
provides equal or better performance in most cases.
Note: These faults are not instantaneous and have shown test results that take
between 2 and 12 seconds to occur.
ATTENTION: To guard against drive damage when using output contactors, the
following information must be read and understood. One or more output
contactors can be installed between the drive and motor(s) for the purpose of
disconnecting or isolating certain motors/loads. If a contactor is opened while
the drive is operating, power is removed from the respective motor, but the drive
continues to produce voltage at the output terminals. In addition, reconnecting
a motor to an active drive (by closing the contactor) could produce excessive
current that can cause the drive to fault. If any of these conditions are
determined to be undesirable or unsafe, wire an auxiliary contact on the output
contactor to a drive digital input that is programmed as “Enable.” This causes the
drive to execute a coast-to-stop (cease output) whenever an output contactor is
opened.

Chapter 1
Programming and Parameters
This chapter provides a complete list and descriptions of the PowerFlex 70 drive
parameters. The parameters are programmed (viewed/edited) by using a
Light-emitting Diode (LED) or LCD Human Interface Module (HIM).
You can also use DriveExplorer™ or DriveExecutive™ software and a personal
computer to program the drive. Refer to Appendix B for brief descriptions of the
LED and LCD HIMs.
About Parameters To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, you set the drive parameters. The
drive uses these three types of parameters:
•ENUMParameters
ENUM parameters have selections from two or more items. The LCD
HIM displays a text message for each item. The LED HIM Displays a
number for each item.
•BitParameters
Bit parameters have individual bits associated with features or conditions.
If the bit is 0 the feature is off, or the condition is false. If the bit is 1 the
feature is on, or the condition is true.
•NumericParameters
These parameters have a single numerical value (for example 0.1 volts).
The example on the following page shows how each parameter type is presented
in this manual.

How Parameters are
Organized
LED HIM (human interface module)
The LED HIM displays parameters in numbered list order. Parameters are
accessed by first selecting the file letter, then a parameter number.
No. Description
➊File – Lists the major parameter file category.
➋Group – Lists the parameter group within a file.
➌No.– Parameter number = Parameter value cannot be changed until drive is stopped.
= 32 bit parameter.
= 32 bit parameter (only in Enhanced Control drive).
= Parameter that is displayed when [Motor Cntl Sel] is set to “4.”
➍Parameter Name and Description – Parameter name as it appears on an LCD HIM, with a brief description of
the parameters function.
= This parameter is specific to Standard Control drives.
= This parameter is only available with Enhanced Control drives.
➎Values – Defines the various operating characteristics of the parameter. Three types exist.
ENUM Default:
Options:
Lists the value assigned at the factory. “Read Only” = no default.
Displays the programming selections available.
Bit Bit #: Lists the bit place holder and definition for each bit.
Numeric Default:
Min/Max:
Units:
Lists the value assigned at the factory. “Read Only” = no default.
The range (lowest and highest setting) possible for the parameter.
Unit of measure and resolution as shown on the LCD HIM.
Important: Some parameters have two unit values:
·Analog inputs can be set for current or voltage with 320 [Anlg In Config].
·Values that pertain only to Enhanced Control drivesare indicated by “ .”
Important: When sending values through DPI ports, simply remove the decimal point to arrive at the correct
value (for example, to send “5.00 Hz,” use “500”).
➏Related – Lists parameters (if any) that interact with the selected parameter. The symbol “ ” indicates that
additional parameter information is available in Appendix C.
File Group No.

Programming and Parameters Chapter 1
File Letter Designations
The LED HIM identifies each parameter by file letter and parameter number.
LCD HIM (human interface module)
The LCD HIM displays parameters in a file-group-parameter, or numbered list,
view order. To switch display mode, access the Main Menu, press ALT then Sel
while the cursor is on the parameter selection. In addition, when you use
parameter 196 [Param Access Lvl], you have the option to display all parameters,
commonly used parameters, or diagnostic parameters.
Control Options
Two different control options are available for the PowerFlex 70, standard and
enhanced.
•Standard control drives provide volts per hertz and sensorless vector
operation.
•Enhanced control drives support the addition of FVC vector control, the
DriveGuard Safe Off option, and more.
File-Group-Parameter View
This simplifies programming by grouping parameters that are used for similar
functions. The parameters are organized into six files in basic parameter view, or
seven files in advanced parameter view. Each file is divided into groups, and each
parameter is an element in a group. By default, the LCD HIM displays
parameters by file-group-parameter view.
Numbered List View
All parameters are in numerical order.
