PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000)
The P_PF6000 (PowerFlex 6000 drive) object is used to operate one
variable-speed motor by using a PowerFlex 6000 medium voltage variable
frequency AC drive. The drive operates via an add-on EtherNet/IP interface.
The Add-On Instruction controls the drive in various modes and monitors fault
conditions. The global objects and faceplate that is shown are examples of the
graphical interface tools for this instruction.
Guidelines This instruction operates a motor connected to a PowerFlex 6000 variable
frequency AC drive, which is communicating with the controller over an
EtherNet/IP network.
The PowerFlex 6000 drive has specific parameter read/write functionality. For
details, see Knowledgebase Answer ID 1008677 at
https://www.rockwellautomation.custhelp.com.
Do not use this instruction in these situations:
•You need to operate a single-speed motor (running and stopped only). Use
the P_Motor instruction instead.
•You need to operate a two-speed motor (fast, slow, and stopped only). Use
the P_Motor2Spd instruction instead.
Add-On Instruction FaceplateGlobal Objects
IMPORTANT
The drive interface is designed to work with the Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
application, Version 20 and later.

8Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM057A-EN-P - January 2017
PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000)
•You need to operate a simple reversing motor (forward, reverse, and
stopped only). Use the P_MotorRev instruction instead.
•You need to operate a motor with multiple discrete speeds. You need
specific logic for this motor. The P_PF6000 instruction is designed for
motors with continuously variable (analog) speed, not multiple discrete
speed selections. You can use the P_D4SD or P_nPos instruction for
motors with multiple discrete speeds.
•You are using a drive other than the PowerFlex 6000 drive. Instead, use
these Add-On Instructions:
–P_PF52x for the PowerFlex 523 or PowerFlex 525 drive on an
EtherNet/IP network
–P_PF753 for the PowerFlex drive with 20-COMM-E EtherNet/IP
Interface
–P_PF755 for the PowerFlex AC variable frequency drive
–P_PF7000 for the PowerFlex 7000 medium voltage AC variable
frequency drive with 20-COMM-E EtherNet/IP interface.
–P_VSD for third-party drives, drives on other networks, or via
hardwired I/O
Functional Description The P_PF6000 instruction provides the following capabilities:
•Ownership of the drive through the standard P_Mode Add-On
Instruction and modes.
•Ability to start and stop the drive and motor, control the drive speed (via
speed reference), and monitor the drive run status and speed feedback to
verify whether the drive is running or stopped. Provides alarms and drive
shutdown for Fail to Start and Fail to Stop if the feedback does not follow
the commanded state within a configured amount of time.
•Reading from the drive, the instruction displays drive faults, general drive
status data, and a number of operating parameters.
•Ability to read fault data from the drive and provide descriptive text with
fault codes.
•Indication of Warning or Alarm status as received from the drive.
•Input and alarm for a drive fault condition and an output to send a drive
fault reset to the drive. Provide a configurable time to pulse the drive fault
reset output when a reset command is received.
•Permissives (bypassable and non-bypassable) that are conditions that
enable a drive start and Interlocks (bypassable and non-bypassable) that are
conditions that stop the drive and help prevent starting. Provide an alarm
when an Interlock stops the drive. Provide maintenance the capability to
bypass the bypassable Permissives and Interlocks.

Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM057A-EN-P - January 2017 9
PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000)
•Maintenance personnel can disable (soft lock out) the drive. This
capability is not a substitute for hard lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures.
•Monitor an I/O fault input and a communication watchdog timer, and
alarm on an I/O or communication failure. The failure condition can
optionally de-energize the outputs to the drive, requiring a reset.
•In Override mode, provide an override state input that determines if the
override is to run or stop the drive (default = stop), and, if the drive is to
run, an override speed reference and direction.
•The instruction provides simulation capability. Outputs to the drive are
kept de-energized, but the object can be manipulated as if a working drive
were present, including a basic ramp-up of speed feedback value on
starting and ramp-down on stopping. The simulated ramp-up-to-speed
time is configurable. This capability is often used for activities such as
system testing and operator training.
Required Files Add-On Instructions are reusable code objects that contain encapsulated logic
that can streamline implementing your system. This functionality lets you create
your own instruction set for programming logic as a supplement to the
instruction set provided natively in the ControlLogix® firmware. An Add-On
Instruction is defined once in each controller project, and can be instantiated
multiple times in your application code as needed.
Controller File
The P_PF6000_3_5-00_RUNG.L5X rung import must be imported into the
controller project to be used in the controller configuration. The service release
number (boldfaced) can change as service revisions are created.
Visualization Files
This Add-On Instruction has associated visualization files that provide a
common user interface. These files can be downloaded from the Product
Compatibility and Download Center at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/support/pcdc.page.
Images are external graphic files that can be used in displays. They must be
imported for FactoryTalk View software to make use of them.

with a .bmp file extension, but retain a .png format.
The Global Object files (.ggfx file type) in the following table are Process Library
display elements that are created once and referenced multiple times on multiple
displays in an application. When changes are made to a Global Object, all
instances in the application are automatically updated.
