Lab Name
PowerFlex Drives Configuration & Programming
Lab Description
Learn the basics of drive configuration and programming using the new
PowerFlex 525 compact AC drive and the PowerFlex 755 AC drive.
Attendees will configure these drives using the Human Interface Module
(HIM), Connected Components Workbench software and Studio 5000™
Logix Designer software. You will also try out AppView, a feature that
provides specific parameter groups for popular applications. The third lab
exercise shows how Premier Integration™ enhances the use of
PowerFlex AC drives with ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ controllers
and other Allen-Bradley® products. In that exercise, you will see how to
save time and money during system development, operation, and
maintenance. If you have extra time, learn about the new Automatic
Device Configuration (ADC) feature for PowerFlex 750-Series and
PowerFlex 520-Series drives in Studio 5000.

The lab script will describe setting the PowerFlex 525 IP Address using the 25-COMM-E2P option module
parameters. In order to accomplish this the E2P last octet IP address switches should be set to ‘000’ or
the factory default ‘999’.
After changing switch settings it will be necessary to power cycle the drive to save the settings.

PowerFlex AC Drive Demos
1. Before pulling in power to the PowerFlex 525 demo box, make sure the voltage selector switch is
in the correct position for the respective input power voltage.
2. Verify the Safe-Torque-Off input is pulled out on both PowerFlex 525 & PowerFlex 755.
3. Refer to the Network Setup section to verify the Ethernet connections.
4. Energize the demo boxes and drives by turning on the demo box power and drive power switches
to the ON position.

5. Verify communications between the computer and the controller (192.168.1.10) and drive
(192.168.1.20) by using the RSWho feature within RSLinx and the AB-ETH-1 drive

Pre-Lab Configuration
For the Disable Safe Speed Monitoring configuration steps, you will need to modify your network setup
to match the following.
Disable Safe Speed Monitoring
1. You may need to consult an instructor for help, to complete this step. If the Safe Speed Monitoring
module is installed and enabled in the PowerFlex 755 demo, the safety mode needs to be Disabled
prior to conducting the lab. If the safety mode has not been Disabled, the drive will not operate
according to the lab procedure. To do this complete the following steps:
a. Use Connected Components Workbench (CCW) to connect to the drive.
b. Navigate to the Safe Speed Monitoring module parameters via CCW, by clicking on the port
6-Safe Speed Montr tab and then clicking Parameters.

c. Navigate to parameter #6 – Operating Mode and change it to Program. Press Enter.
d. Navigate to parameter #21 – Safety Mode and change it to Disable. Press Enter.
e. Return to parameter #6– Operating Mode and change it to Run. Press Enter.
