Step 1 Read the General Precautions
!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.
!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 may result in malfunction of
the system.
!ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable
frequency AC drives and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the
system. Failure to comply may 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 & –DC
terminals of the Power Terminal Block (refer to the User Manual for
location). The voltage must be zero.

2PowerFlex 700 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive Quick Start
!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 “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 would
otherwise cause a fault. However, it can also cause either of the
following two conditions to occur.
1. Fast positive changes in input voltage (more than a 10% increase
within 6 minutes) can cause uncommanded positive speed changes.
However an “OverSpeed Limit” fault will occur if the speed reaches
[Max Speed] + [Overspeed Limit]. If this condition is unacceptable,
action should be taken 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 and 162).
2. 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 and 162). In addition, installing a
properly sized dynamic brake resistor will provide equal or better
performance in most cases.
Important: These faults are not instantaneous. Test results have
shown that they can take between 2-12 seconds.
!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 that will start and stop the motor. If an input device is
used, operation must not exceed one cycle per minute or drive damage
will occur.
!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: If using Output Contactors, refer to the “Output
Contactor Precaution” statement on page 1-12 of the PowerFlex 700
User Manual.

CE Conformity
Conformity with the Low Voltage (LV) Directive and Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Directive has been demonstrated using
harmonized European Norm (EN) standards published in the Official
Journal of the European Communities. PowerFlex Drives comply with
the EN standards listed below when installed according to the User and
Reference Manual.
CE Declarations of Conformity are available online at:
http://www.ab.com/certification/ce/docs.
Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
•EN50178 Electronic equipment for use in power installations.
EMC Directive (89/336/EEC)
•EN61800-3 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems Part 3:
EMC product standard including specific test methods.
General Notes
•If the adhesive label is removed from the top of the drive, the drive
must be installed in an enclosure with side openings less than 12.5
mm (0.5 in.) and top openings less than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) to
maintain compliance with the LV Directive.
•The motor cable should be kept as short as possible in order to avoid
electromagnetic emission as well as capacitive currents.
•Use of line filters in ungrounded systems is not recommended.
•PowerFlex drives may cause radio frequency interference if used in a
residential or domestic environment. The user is required to take
measures to prevent interference, in addition to the essential
requirements for CE compliance listed below, if necessary.
•Conformity of the drive with CE EMC requirements does not
guarantee an entire machine or installation complies with CE EMC
requirements. Many factors can influence total machine/installation
compliance.
•PowerFlex drives can generate conducted low frequency
disturbances (harmonic emissions) on the AC supply system. More
information regarding harmonic emissions can be found in the
PowerFlex Reference Manual.

A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For many
installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided it can be separated
from sensitive circuits. As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3
meters (1 foot) for every 10 meters (32.8 feet) of length. In all cases,
long parallel runs must be avoided. Do not use cable with an insulation
thickness less than or equal to 15 mils (0.4mm/0.015 in.). See Table D.
Unshielded
THHN, THWN or similar wire is acceptable for drive installation in dry
environments provided adequate free air space and/or conduit fill rates
limits are provided. Do not use THHN or similarly coated wire in wet
areas. Any wire chosen must have a minimum insulation thickness of 15
Mils and should not have large variations in insulation concentricity.
Shielded/Armored Cable
Shielded cable is recommended if sensitive circuits or devices are
connected or mounted to the machinery driven by the motor. See Table
D. For further information on acceptable and unacceptable cable types,
refer to “Power Wiring” in the PowerFlex 700 User Manual.

(1) Important: 4-20mA operation requires a jumper at terminals 17 & 18 (or 19 & 20). Drive damage
may occur if jumper is not installed.
(2) These inputs/outputs are dependant on a number of parameters (see “Related Parameters”).
(3) Differential Isolation - External source must be maintained at less than 160V with respect to PE.
Input provides high common mode immunity.
(4) Contacts in unpowered state. Any relay programmed as Fault or Alarm will energize (pick up)
when power is applied to drive and deenergize (drop out) when a fault or alarm exists. Relays
selected for other functions will energize only when that condition exists and will deenergize when
condition is removed.

By default, the user can program a digital input as an Enable input. The
status of this input is interpreted by drive software. If the application
requires the drive to be disabled without software interpretation, a
“dedicated” hardware enable configuration can be utilized. This is done
by removing a jumper and wiring the enable input to “Digital In 6” (see
below).
1. Remove the I/O Control Cassette &
cover as described in the User Manual.
2. Locate & remove Jumper J10 on the
Main Control Board (see diagram).
3. Re-assemble cassette.
4. Wire Enable to “Digital In 6” (see
Figure 4).

“Static Tune” (1) = A temporary command that initiates a non-rotational motor
stator resistance test for the best possible automatic setting of [IR Voltage Drop]
in all valid modes and a non-rotational motor leakage inductance test for the best
possible automatic setting of [Ixo Voltage Drop] in “Flux Vector” mode. A start
command is required following initiation of this setting. The parameter returns to
“Ready” (0) following the test, at which time another start transition is required to
operate the drive in normal mode. Used when motor cannot be rotated.
“Rotate Tune” (2) = A temporary command that initiates a “Static Tune” followed
by a rotational test for the best possible automatic setting of [Flux Current Ref]. In
“Flux Vector” mode, with encoder feedback, a test for the best possible automatic
setting of [Slip RPM @ FLA] is also run. A start command is required following
