Detailed Drive Operation
Accel Time The Accel Time parameter, Parameter 32 [Accel Time], sets the rate at
which the drive ramps up its output after a Start command or during an
increase in desired speed (speed change).
The rate established is the result of the programmed Accel Time and the
programmed motor rated speed, Parameter 4 [Motor NP RPM].
Parameter 4 [Motor NP RPM]- = Accel Rate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Parameter 32 [Accel Time]
Times are adjustable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 3600.0 seconds.
Programming zero seconds will cause the drive to use .1 seconds.

2-2 Detailed Drive Operation
AC Supply Source
Considerations
To guard against personal injury and/or equipment damage
! caused by improper fusing or circuit breaker selection, use only
the recommended line fuses and circuit breakers specified in
Table 2.E and Table 2.F
PowerFlex 700S drives are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering
a maximum of 200,000 RMS symmetrical amperes, 600V. If a system
ground fault monitor (RCD) is to be used, only Type B (adjustable) devices
should be used to avoid nuisance tripping.
Detailed Drive Operation 2-3
Alarms Alarms indicate conditions within the drive that could affect drive operation
or application operation. Alarms are selected during commissioning of the
drive. Example of alarms include: Encoder loss, Communication loss or
other exceptions within the drive. Also see Diagnostics.
[Alarm Status 1]
[Alarm Status 2]
Two 32 bit words. Indications masked by the setup of each parameter listed
in [Exception Event1] and [Exception Event 2]. Exception events consist of
Parameters 365 to 394, each of which can be programmed for various
responses. Responses include Ignore, Alarm, Fault Coast Stop, Fault Ramp
Stop, and Fault Current limit Stop.
Application
[Inv Ol Pend Cnfg] is set to a value of 1. This configure the drive to set the
alarm bit, [Alarm Status 1] bit 15, for this when the event occurs. This will
allow the drive to continue running. The system controller can make the
decision as to what action to take in relation to the alarm.
Analog Inputs Analog Input Specifications

There are 2 analog inputs located on TB1 - Row B (Bottom Terminals).
Each input accepts a +/-10V or +/-1V bipolar, differential signal. Dip
switches SW1-1 and SW1-2 are used to select whether the analog inputs are
+/-10V or +/-1V. The A/D converter is 14 bits including the sign bit (13 bits
plus the sign bit).
Analog Outputs
Once the Analog Input is converted, [Anlg Inx Offset] can be applied. [Anlg
Inx Offset] has a range of +/-20V. [Anlg Inx Volts] is the sum of the A/D
output and [Anlg Inx Offset]. [Anlg Inx Volts] is displayed as +/-10V.
[Anlg Inx Scale] scales [Anlg Inx Volts] to the range of [Anlg Inx Data]. A
destination parameter, such as a speed reference can then be linked to [Anlg
Inx Data].

Analog Input Configuration

This example illustrates how to setup a speed reference to follow a 0-10V
analog input signal and null out a small amount of offset from the A/D
converter on the analog input.
• [Anlg ln1 Offset] = -0.0144V

• [Anlg ln1 Scale] = 0.1 per 1V
• [Anlg ln1 Filt Gain] = 1
• [Anlg ln1Filt BW] = 0
• [Spd Ref 1] is linked to [Anlg ln1 Data]
With a desired [Anlg In1 Volts] of 0V, the drive was reading 0.0144V. To
null out analog input 1, [Anlg In1 Offset] was set to -0.0144V.
[Spd Ref 1] is a per unit parameter, meaning that a value of 1 equates to

base motor RPM. Therefore, to scale [Anlg In1 Data] to give us a value
from 0 to 1 for a 0-10V signal, [Anlg In1 Scale] was set to 0.1 per 1V.
[Anlg In1 Filt BW] was set to 0 so that no filtering took place on analog
input 1.
Response Time
The response time between a change of an analog speed reference and when
a fluxed up motor reacted to that change on a PowerFlex 700S was
measured.
Before taking the measurements, motor data was entered and an autotune
was performed on the connected motor. The motor was unloaded.
Additionally, the following parameters were set:
• Parameter 89 [Spd Err Filt BW] = 0 Rad/Sec

• Parameter 90 [Spd Reg BW] = 40 Rad/Sec
• Parameter 151 [Logic Cmd Word] = 0000 0000 0000 0001 (Bit 0 was set
to 1 to disable the speed ramp)
To measure the response time, an analog input was configured as the speed
reference. The drive was started with a 0 RPM speed reference. A 0 to 10V
supply was wired through a switch to the analog input. Then the time
between a 0 to 10V step change on the analog input and the motor current to
reach 2/3 of its peak was measured with an oscilloscope.
20 trials were performed with the following results:
• Average time = 2.2 ms

• Worst case response time = 3.4 ms
The response times can be broken down as follows:
• Analog input delay time = 0.8 ms

• VPL (velocity processor loop) time = 0.5 ms
• Time to ramp Iq to 2/3 = remaining time
So the variable in the response time is the time to ramp Iq to 2/3. From our
testing, we can see that Parameter 89 [Spd Err Filt BW] and Parameter 90
[Spd Reg BW] affect how fast the drive responds to a step change in the
speed reference, and therefore how fast Iq is ramped up. Decreasing
Parameter 354 [Iq Rate Limit] will tend to make the Iq ramp time longer.
Setting Parameter 153 [Control Options] bit 11 will also make the Iq ramp
time longer.
Analog Outputs Analog Output Specifications

There are 2 analog outputs located on TB1 - Row B (Bottom Terminals).
Each output outputs a +/-10V bipolar, differential signal. The D/A converter
is 12 bits including the sign (11 bits plus the sign bit).
Analog Output Configuration

The analog outputs can be linked to either an integer parameter or a real

[Anlg Outx Offset] is added to [Anlg Outx Real] or [Anlg Outx Integer]
before the scaling and limiting blocks. [Anlg Outx Offset] has a range of +/
-20V.
The result of [Anlg Outx Offset] plus [Anlg Outx Real] or [Anlg Outx

Then that limited value is divided by the value of [Anlg Outx Scale].
[Anlg Outx Zero] is added after the scaling and limiting of the analog output
value. [Anlg Outx Zero] can be used to null out any offset from the D/A
converter.
Configuration Example 1:
This configuration sends motor speed feedback to a 0-10V analog output.
• [Motor NP RPM] is 1755 RPM

• [Anlg Out1 Real] is 1755 RPM
• [Anlg Out1 Scale] is set to 175.5 per Volt
[Anlg Out1 Real] is used because [Motor NP RPM] is a real parameter.

[Anlg Out1 Scale] is set to 175.5 per Volt, so that the analog output will give
-10V when the motor speed is -1755 RPM and will give +10V when the
motor speed is +1755 RPM.
This configuration sends the motor torque current reference value to a

0-10V analog output signal.
• [Anlg Out1 Real] is linked to [Mtr TrqCurr Ref]

• [Anlg Out1 Scale] = 0.1 per Volt
[Mtr TrqCurr Ref] is a real parameter expressed in per unit. Therefore a

value of 1 corresponds to 100% motor torque. [Anlg Out1 Real] is used
because [Mtr TrqCurr Ref] is a real parameter.
[Anlg Out1 Scale] is set to 0.1 per 1V so that when [Mtr TrqCurr Ref] =
1p.u., the analog output = 1 / 0.1 = 10V.
This configuration sends [Position Error] out to a 0-10V analog output

signal.
• [Anlg Out1 Integer] is linked to [Position Error]

• [Anlg Out1 Scale] is set to 214748664.8 per Volt
[Position Error] is an integer parameter with a range from -2147483648 to

+2147483648. [Anlg Out1 Integer] is used because [Position Error] is an
integer parameter.
[Anlg Out1 Scale] is set to 214748364.8 per Volt so the analog output will
give -10V when the position error is -2147483648 and will give +10V when
the position error is +2147483648.

Autotune Auto-tuning is a procedure that involves running a group of tests on the

motor/drive combination. Some tests are checking the drive hardware while
others configure the drive parameters to maximize the performance of the
attached motor.
The auto-tuning procedure can be done using the Start-Up menu of the
HIM.
Autotune - Start-Up Menu

The Start-Up menu prompts the User for information and yes/no responses
as required. Figure 2.1 is a flow chart of the Start-Up Menu. The “Motor
Control,” “Motor Data,” “Feedback Configuration,” “Power Circuit Test,”
“Direction Test,” “Motor Tests,” and “Inertia Measure” submenus of the
Start-Up Menu are all related to the autotuning of the drive/motor
combination and will be covered in this section.

Motor Control
The Motor Control submenu asks you to select the motor control operating
mode which sets the parameter [MC Operate Mode]. Choices are “FOC,”
“FOC2,” “Pmag Motor” and “Test.”
• “FOC” selects field oriented control. This should be the selection for AC
squirrel cage induction motors
• “FOC2” selects field oriented control and is only used for a specific type
of AC induction motor with motor thermal feedback.
• “Pmag Motor” selects control for permanent magnet motors
• “Test” puts the drive in a test mode to perform the direction test. “Test” is
automatically selected during the direction test portion of the Start-Up
routine, and does not need to be set manually by the user.
Next, the motor control submenu asks you to select whether you have no
dynamic braking, an internal resistor for dynamic braking, or an external
resistor for dynamic braking. When no dynamic braking is selected, the bus
regulator is turned on (see Bus Regulation/Braking of this manual for more
details).
Motor Data
This submenu asks you to enter whether the motor power is in units of kW
or HP. Then you are prompted to enter the motor nameplate data. Accurate
motor nameplate data is important for tuning the drive to the connected
motor.
Feedback Configuration
The Feedback Configuration submenu asks you to select the feedback
device type. Possible selection are “Encoder 0,” “Encoder 1,” “Aux Speed,”
“Motor Sim,” or “Option Card.” Encoder 0 and Encoder 1 are for the
encoders on the I/O board. When “Encoder 0” or “Encoder 1” are selected,
you must also enter the encoder ppr. “Motor Sim” is to simulate a motor
when there is no motor connected to the drive. “Option Card” can be chosen
when either the Resolver or Hi-Resolution Encoder option cards are
installed.
Power Circuit Test

This submenu allows you to perform a diagnostic check to check the output
section of the drive power circuit for shorts or open circuits.
Direction Test
The direction test checks the actual direction relative to the commanded,
and checks for proper encoder feedback. The test prompts you to answer if
the motor direction is correct. When it is not you can either power down and
swap 2 of the motor leads, or the drive can change its logic to change the
motor direction. Then the test is performed again. The test then checks if the
feedback is positive. When it is not you can either power down and swap 2
of the encoder signals, or the drive can change its logic to change the sign of
the feedback. Then the test is performed again.
Motor Tests
This submenu performs the tests to measure the motor characteristics.
These tests can be performed with the motor coupled or uncoupled to the
load, but be aware that the motor will rotate during some of the tests.
For Field Oriented Control the following motor tests are performed:
Stator Resistance Test
This test identifies the motor stator resistance and stores the value into [Stator Resistnce]. The
motor should not rotate during this test.
Stator Inductance Test
This test identifies the motor stator inductance and stores the value into [Stator Inductnce]. The
motor should not rotate during this test.
Leakage Inductance Test
This test measures the inductance characteristics of the motor. A measurement of the motor
inductance is required to determine references for the regulators that control torque. The motor
should not rotate during this test. The test runs for approximately 1 minute and then stores the
calculated value into [Leak Inductance]. A typical value is between 15 and 25%.
Flux Current Test
This test is used to identify the value of motor flux current required to produce rated motor torque
at rated current. When the flux test is performed, the motor will rotate. The drive accelerates the
motor to the speed set in [Atune Spd Ref] (default is 85% of base speed) and then coasts for
several seconds. This cycle may repeat several times, then decelerate to a low speed and shut off.
This test stores the value for flux current in [Flux Current].
For Permanent Magenet Control the following motor tests are performed:
Stator Resistance Test
Information not available at time of publication
Stator Inductance Test
Encoder Offset
The absolute position sensor counter offset from the rotor flux center position for a Permanent
Magnet (PM) motor. This value is determined by an automated measurement procedure, which
uses Parameter 505 [PM TestWait Time], 506 [PM Test Idc Ramp], 507 [PM Test FreqRamp], 508
[PM Test Freq Ref] and 509 [PM Test I Ref]. First, the Flux Producing (d-axis) current is applied to
the stator, starting with 0A and with 0 Hz. Current increases with the ramp rate defined by
Parameter 506 [PM Test Idc Ramp] to the peak current value defined by Parameter 509 [PM Test I
Ref]. The current is continuously applied at this level for the time interval defined by Parameter 505
[PM TestWait Time]. Then, the DC excitation position will be changed by 90 electrical degrees with
the frequency defined by Parameter 508 [PM Test Freq Ref] and the rate change of the frequency
defined by Parameter 507 [PM Test FreqRamp]. The 90 degree phase shifted d-axis current with
the current value defined by Parameter 509 [PM Test I Ref] is continuously applied for the time
interval defined by Parameter 505 [PM TestWait Time] The value of Parameter 504 [PM AbsEnc
Offst] is determined by value in the absolute position sensor counter.
Back EMF
Inertia Test
The final test is the inertia calculation. The motor and load (machine) inertia
is used to set the bandwidth of the speed regulator. During the test the motor
will accelerate to the speed set in [Atune Spd Ref] at a specified torque set
by [Atune Torq Ref]. The test then calculates the time in seconds to
accelerate the motor at rated torque from zero to base speed and stores that
value in [Total Inertia].
Manual Autotune - Logic Command

To perform a motor rotation test manually, set [MC Operate Mode] to
“Test.” Then start the drive and verify motor direction and check [Motor
Spd Fdbk]. When the motor direction is backwards, power must be removed
and two motor leads should be swapped. When the feedback is negative,
power must be removed and two encoder leads should be swapped. After
direction and feedback are verified, press stop and set [MC Operate Mode]
back to “FOC,” “FOC2,” or “Pmag Motor” according to your configuration.
Bits 4 through 9 in [Logic Command] can be used to manually perform the

power circuit test and motor tests instead of through the HIM Startup
routine. To select a test, the corresponding bit must be set to a 1. Then the
drive must be started.
Bit 4 “MC Atune En”
Selects the motor tests described on the previous page that measure stator resistance, stator
inductance, leakage inductance, and flux current.
Bit 5 “Pwr Diag En”
Selects the power circuit tests described on the previous page.
Bit 6 “Dir Sel En”
Bit 7 “PM Offset En”
Bit 8 “Mtr Inert En
Measures the value for [Motor Inertia]. This test is similar to the inertia test that measures
[Total Inertia], except the motor must be uncoupled from the load.
Bit 9 “Sys Inert En”
Performs the inertia test described to set the value for [Total Inertia]
Troubleshooting an “MC Commissn Fail” Fault during Autotune

The “MC Commissn Fail” fault occurs when either the Power Circuits
diagnostics test fails or one of the Motor Tests fails. To find out specifically
why the fault occurred, before clearing the fault, check the bits in the
following parameters: [MC Diag Error 1], [MC Diag Error 2], or [MC Diag
Error 3].
Bus Regulation/Braking Description

This information serves as a supplement to the PowerFlex 700S Users
Manual, publication 20D-UM001B-EN-P, addressing items specific to the
PowerFlex 700S bus regulation and dynamic braking. Please refer to the
Users Manual for details on the PowerFlex 700S dynamic braking wiring
and setup and the PowerFlex Dynamic Braking Resistor Calculator for
application techniques on dynamic braking.
Technical Information
The bus regulator limits the maximum bus voltage for systems that do not
have (or have limited) braking or regenerative capabilities. The bus
regulator limits the bus voltage by comparing the DC bus voltage feedback
to a DC bus voltage reference. It then limits the regenerative power allowed
back onto the DC bus to keep the DC bus voltage at or below the reference
value and prevent a “DC Bus Overvolt” fault.
Dynamic braking uses a 7th IGBT and braking resistor to dissipate

regenerative energy. The drive switches the 7th IGBT on and off to keep the
DC bus voltage at or below the dc bus voltage reference. Parameters in the
PowerFlex 700S specify whether the resistor is an internal or external
resistor. For an external resistor, the user can program the resistor
specifications for protection of the resistor.
The PowerFlex 700S allows the user to select bus regulation, dynamic
braking, or a combination of bus regulation and dynamic braking.

Bus Regulator/Braking Configuration

Parameter 414 [Bus/Brake Cnfg] determines the configuration of bus
regulation and dynamic braking. Parameter 414 is broken down into the
following bits:
Bit 0 - Brake Enable
When this bit is set to 1 it enables the internal brake transistor (7th IGBT). When this bit is set to
0 then the internal brake transistor is disabled.
Bit 1 - Brake Extern
When this bit is set to a 1 it configures the brake operation for an external resistor. Then the
external brake resistor protection is based on the peak watts entered into [Brake PulseWatts] and
the continuous watts entered in [Brake Watts]. When this bit is set to 0 it configures the brake
operation for an internal resistor. Then [Brake PulseWatts] and [Brake Watts] are not active.
Bit 2 - BusRef Hi/Lo
This bit configures whether bus regulation or dynamic braking turns on first. This bit is only active
when Parameter 414 [Bus/Brake Cnfg] bits 0 and 3 are both set to one. When this bit is set to 1
the dynamic braking turns on first (at the dc bus voltage set by Parameter 415 [Bus Reg/Brake
Ref]), and then the bus regulator turns on if the dc bus voltage continues to rise (at the dc bus
voltage set by Parameter 415 plus 4.5%). When this bit is set to 0 the bus regulator turns on first
(at the dc bus voltage set by Parameter 415) and then the dynamic braking turns on when there
are any transients above Parameter 415.
Bit 3 - Bus Reg En
When this bit is set to 1, bus regulation is enabled. When this bit is set to 0, bus regulation is
disabled.
Set the appropriate [Bus/Brake Config] your configuration. The following is

a summary of possible settings for [Bus/Brake Config]:
[Bus/Brake Config]
Desired Operation Setting
Dynamic braking with internal resistor 0001
Dynamic braking with external resistor 0011
Bus regulation only 1000
Bus regulation first, then dynamic braking with internal resistor 1001
Dynamic braking with internal resistor first, then bus regulation 1101
Bus regulation first, then dynamic braking with external resistor 1011
Dynamic braking with external resistor first, then bus regulation 1111
Parameter 415 [Bus Reg/Brake Ref] sets the turn-on bus voltage threshold
for the bus regulator and the dynamic brake. Actual values are modified by
the configuration selected in [Bus/Brake Config]. When using common DC
bus drives, adjustment of [Bus Reg/Brake Ref] allows, a limited
coordination of brake operation with other drives. For example, when you
have 2 common bus drives, and one drive is larger than the other, set the
larger drive to turn on at a lower voltage than the smaller drive. In this
manner, the smaller drive does not try to dissipate all of the dynamic
braking energy.
NOTE: Actual bus voltage reference values are determined as a percentage

of Parameter 401 [Rated Volts] and selected voltage class.
2 × Par 401 [Rated Volts] × Par 415 [Bus Reg/Brake Ref]

bus voltage reference = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
100
For example, with a 480V rated drive and [BusReg/Brake Ref]=111%:
2 × 480 × 111
bus voltage reference = --------------------------------------- = 753.5 VDC
100
NOTE: When the low voltage class is selected an additional multiplier of

1.2 is used. For example P401 [Rated Volts] = 400 then P401 * 1.2 = 480 is
used. In this case, if a drive has a selected low voltage class, but is run on a
high voltage class AC line, the dynamic brake will not automatically turn
on.
Parameter 416 [Brake PulseWatts] sets the peak power reference for
determining the protection for an external brake resistor. Parameter 416 is
active only if the configuration is selected for an external brake (Parameter
414 bit 1, Bus/Brake Cnfg). When the internal brake resistor is used then the
protection is determined from drive internal values. Normally this value is
specified by the resistor vendor as the peak power rating or a 1 second
power rating with typical values in the range of 30 to 100 times higher than
the resistor continuous power rating. A simple estimate for the peak power
of the resistor can be made from the brake elements' mass, specific heat and
an assumed element temperature of 375oC.
Par 416 [Brake Pulse Watts] = 75,000 (watts/lbs) × element weight (lbs)
Where 75,000 represents a specific heat of 0.11 cal/Kg C (steal or

nichrome) and a temperature rise of 350C (approximation).
For example, a resistor with a nichrome element that weighs 10 lbs. would
have a Brake Pulse Watts of:
75,000 × 10 = 750,000 watts
When the resistor package's peak energy rating cannot be obtained, there
are a few other ways to approximate [Brake PulseWatts]:
1. [Brake PulseWatts] = 75,000 x (Resistor element weight); where the

resistor element weight is the total weight of the resistor wire element in
pounds (not the entire weight of the resistor cage).
2. [Brake Pulse Watts] = (Time constant) x [Brake Watts]; where the Time
constant equals the amount of time for the resistor to reach 63% of its
rated temperature with applied rated watts ([Brake Watts]).
[Brake Watts] sets the continuous watts for determining the protection for
an external brake. Enter the continuous watt rating of the resistor cage
(found on the resistor cage nameplate or from the resistor manufacturer) for
this parameter. This parameter is active only if the configuration is selected
for an external brake ([Bus/Brake Cnfg] bit 1 set to 1). When the internal
brake resistor is used then the protection is determined from drive internal
values.
Parameter 369 [Brake OL Cnfg] determines how the drive reacts when the
brake protection is exceeded. Some possible settings for this parameter are:
Parameter 369 [Brake OL Cnfg]
Setting Drive Operation
0 - “Ignore” The drive ignores the brake protection was exceeded and does
not generate the fault 38 “Brake OL Trip” or alarm “Brake OL Trip.”
1 - “Alarm” The drive generates an alarm “Brake OL Trip,” but does not
generate the fault 38 “Brake OL Trip.”
2 - “FltCoastStop” The drive generates the fault 38 “Brake OL Trip” and issues a
coast stop.
3 - “FltRampStop” The drive generates the fault 38 “Brake OL Trip” and issues a
ramp stop.
4 - “FltCurLimStop” The drive generates the fault 38 “Brake OL Trip” and issues a
current limit stop.
Parameter 418 [Brake TP Sel] selects a value to monitor for diagnostics of

the dynamic brake protection. Possible selections for Parameter 418 [Brake
TP Sel] are:
Parameter 418 [Brake TP Sel]
Setting Description
0 - “Zero” Do not monitor any test point for the brake protection.
1 - “Duty Cycle” Duty cycle of the internal resistor or calculated duty cycle of external
resistor based on Parameter 416 [Brake PulseWatts] and Parameter
417 [Brake Watts].
2 - “Power Actual” Information not available at time of publication

Cable, Motor Lengths The length of cable between the drive and motor may be limited by various
application parameters. The 2 primary areas of concern are Reflected Wave
and Cable charging. The Reflected Wave phenomenon, also known as
transmission line effect, can produce very high peak voltages on the motor
due to voltage reflection. Allen-Bradley drives have patented software that
limits the voltage peak to 2 times the DC bus voltage or 1600 volts,
whichever is greater, and reduce the number of occurrences, but many
motors have inadequate insulation systems to tolerate these peaks.
See Reflected Wave for more details.
Refer to Table 2.B for measuring cable lengths when concerned about
Reflected Wave. The actual lead length for each motor must be measured or
calculated based on the lead length for that motor only. Figure 2.2 shows 2
motors, each 300 feet from the drive. Motor protection decisions are based
on 300 feet cable length (not 600 ft.). If the motors need protection at this
distance, then both motors must be dealt with individually. In some cases, a
single device placed at the drive output or near the motors may protect both
motors. Figure 2.2 shows 1 motor at 50 feet and one at 550 feet. The motor
that is close to the drive (50 ft.) may not need protection, but the motor
farther from the drive (550 ft.) may need protection. Again, each motor
must be considered individually based on its distance from the drive. Cable
charging occurs because of the capacitance, phase-to-phase or
phase-to-ground, inherent in the length of cable. The current that is used to
charge the cable capacitance detracts from the overall current capability of
the drive and reduces the availability of torque producing current for the
motor. This can result in poor motor performance, motor stalls under full
load and nuisance drive overcurrent tripping. In general, shielded cable has
higher cable capacitance and will require higher cable charging current.
Refer to Table 2.B for measuring cable lengths when concerned about cable
charging. In this case, it is the total amount of cable connected to the drive
that must be considered. Figure 2.2 shows 2 motors, each 300 feet from the
drive. The drive must be capable of supplying enough current to charge the
total length (600 ft.) plus the needed current to produce necessary torque in
the motors. If a drive is unable to provide sufficient current for both cable
charging and motor torque, then a larger drive with adequate current rating
should be substituted. Figure 2.2 shows 1 motor at 50 feet and one at 550
feet. Again, the drive must be capable of supplying enough current to charge
the total length (600 ft.), plus the needed current to produce desired torque
in the motors. In fact, diagrams A, B, C and D will all require the same
cable charging installation guidelines because they all have total cable
lengths of 600 feet. Listed below are the maximum cable lengths
recommended for PowerFlex drives. Distances listed consider both reflected
wave amplitude and cable charging current. These distances are advisory
only and are not intended to guarantee a trouble free installation.
Differences in the cable chosen and other factors can affect maximum
distance.

Cable, Power
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI

! etc.) and local codes outline provisions for safely installing
electrical equipment. Installation must comply with
specifications regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch
circuit protection and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations.
Unshielded
For many installations, unshielded cable or loose conductors are adequate,
provided they can be separated from sensitive circuits. As an approximate
guide, allow a minimum spacing of 0.3 meters (1 foot). Avoid long parallel
runs. It is recommended that individual wires have XLPE insulation. As a
minimum, any insulation must be at least 15 mils thick. Wire with PVC
insulation (i.e. THHN, see more below) is acceptable if no moisture is
present and the PVC insulation meets the 15 mil minimum. Recommended
tray cable has XLPE for individual conductors and a PVC outer jacket.

Shielded cable contains all of the general benefits of multi-conductor cable
with the added benefit of a copper braided shield that can contain much of
the noise generated by a typical AC Drive. Strong consideration for shielded
cable should be given in installations with sensitive equipment such as
weigh scales, capacitive proximity switches and other devices that may be
affected by electrical noise in the distribution system. Applications with
large numbers of drives in a similar location, imposed EMC regulations or a
high degree of communications / networking are also good candidates for
shielded cable.
Shielded cable may also help reduce shaft voltage and induced bearing
currents for some applications. In addition, the increased impedance of
shielded cable may help extend the distance that the motor can be located
from the drive without the addition of motor protective devices such as
terminator networks. Refer to Reflected Wave in Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines for PWM AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001A-EN-P.
Consideration should be given to all of the general specifications dictated by

the environment of the installation, including temperature, flexibility,
moisture characteristics and chemical resistance. In addition, a braided
shield should be included and be specified by the cable manufacturer as
having coverage of at least 75%. An additional foil shield can greatly
improve noise containment.
A good example of recommended cable is Belden® 295xx (xx determines

gauge). This cable has 4 XLPE insulated conductors with a 100% coverage
foil and an 85% coverage copper braided shield (with drain wire)
surrounded by a PVC jacket. Other types of shielded cable are available, but
the selection of these types may limit the allowable cable length.
Particularly, some of the newer cables twist 4 conductors of THHN wire and
wrap them tightly with a foil shield. This construction can greatly increase
the cable charging current required and reduce the overall drive
performance. Unless specified in the individual distance tables as tested
with the drive, these cables are not recommended and their performance
against the lead length limits supplied is not known.

Based on field and internal testing, Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley

has determined conductors manufactured with Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC)
wire insulation are subject to a variety of manufacturing inconsistencies
which can lead to premature insulation degradation when used with IGBT
drives that produce the reflected wave phenomena. Flame-retardant
heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation is the type of insulation listed in the
NEC code for the THHN wire designation. This type of insulation is
commonly referred to as PVC. In addition to manufacturing inconsistencies,
the physical properties of the cable can change due to environment,
installation and operation, which can also lead to premature insulation
degradation.

For digital input cable, refer to Cable, Power.

Cable Trays and Conduit
ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard caused by

! induced voltages, unused wires in the conduit must be grounded
at both ends. For the same reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is
being serviced or installed, all drives using this conduit should be
disabled. This will help minimize the possible shock hazard from
“cross coupled” motor leads.
When laying cable in cable trays, do not randomly distribute them. Cables
for each drive should be bundled together and anchored to the tray. See
Figure 2.3. A minimum separation of one cable width should be maintained
between bundles to reduce overheating and cross-coupling. Current flowing
in one set of cables can induce a hazardous voltage and / or excessive noise
on the cable set of another drive, even when no power is applied to the
second drive.
Dividers also provide excellent separation.

or

Conduit must be magnetic steel and be installed so as to provide a

continuous electrical path through the conduit itself. Care must be taken
when pulling wire to avoid nicking the wire. Nylon-coated wire such as
THHN or THWN is subject to insulation damage when it is pulled through
conduit, particularly if 90º bends are present. Nicking can significantly
reduce or remove the insulation. Use great care when pulling nylon coated.
Water based lubricants should not be used with nylon coated wire such as
THHN.
Important: Because of the nature of the drive PWM output and the
reflected wave phenomenon, it is preferable to have each set of
drive motor/power cables in an individual conduit. If this is not
possible, do not route more than 3 sets of drive cables in one
conduit. it is important that the allowable fill rates specified in
the applicable national or local codes NOT be exceeded.
Carrier (PWM) Frequency See Chapter 1 for derating guidelines as they travel to carrier frequency.
In general, the lowest possible switching frequency that is acceptable for

any particular application is the one that should be used. There are several
benefits to increasing the switching frequency. Refer to Figure 2.4 and
Figure 2.5. Note the output current at 2 kHz and 4kHz. The “smoothing” of
the current waveform continues all the way to 10 kHz.
Figure 2.4 Current at 2kHz PWM Frequency
Figure 2.5 Current at 4kHz PWM Frequency
The benefits of increased carrier frequency include less motor heating and
lower audible noise. An increase in motor heating is considered negligible
and motor failure at lower switching frequencies is very remote. The higher
switching frequency creates less vibration in the motor windings and
laminations making lower audible noise. This may be desirable in some
applications. Some undesirable effects of higher switching frequencies
include derating ambient temperature vs. load characteristics of the drive,
higher cable charging currents and higher potential for common mode
noise.
A very large majority of all drive applications will perform adequately at

2-4 kHz.

Datalinks Programming
In the ControlLogix system, Datalinks are transmitted over ControlNet as
32 bit integers (DINT). In order to send or receive floating point a COP
(copy) instruction must be utilized. The copy instruction in ControlLogix
performs a bitwise copy. Set the length of the copy instruction to a value
appropriate for the destination data type. For example, when copying a
DINT data type to a REAL data type, the length would be one since both
data types contain 32 bits of data.

Explicit Messaging
When using explicit messaging in the ControlLogix system, the message
type CIP Generic is used. The data is transferred over ControlNet in the
same data type as the parameter in the PowerFlex 700S. Make sure the data
type for the Source and Destination tags in your ControlLogix message
instruction matches the data type in the PowerFlex 700S. Also, the Number
of Elements in the ControlLogix message instruction must match the size of
the Source data. For example, to send an explicit message to write to
Parameter 12 [Speed Ref 2], which is a floating point:
1. The Source and Destination tags would be of type REAL.
2. The Number of Elements would be 4 bytes since a REAL data type takes
up 4 bytes of data.
For other types of messages refer to the 20-COMM-C user manual.

Datalinks Datalinks are used to transfer I/O data from a communication adapter, i.e.
ControlNet (20-COMM-C), DeviceNet (20-COMM-D), to a controller.
Datalinks allow parameter values to be changed without using messaging.
Configuring Datalinks
This section contains information on configuring the Datalink parameters
for the PowerFlex 700S. There are also parameters in the communication
adapters that must be configured to use Datalinks. See the ControlNet
(20-COMM-C) and DeviceNet (20-COMM-D) section on the individual
adapters for more information on setting up the Datalinks in the adapter.
“Data In” Parameters
[Data In x Int] and [Data In Real] parameters are inputs to the drive from the
controller and are used to write to parameters. A total of 8 parameters can
be written with the “Data In” parameters. In the 700S, each parameter is
either a 16 bit integer, a 32 bit integer or a 32 bit floating point (real). This
means the datalinks parameters are 32 bits.
To write to a 16 bit or 32 bit integer parameter, that parameter must be

linked to one of the [Data In x Int] parameters.
To write to a real parameter, that parameter must be linked to one of the

[Data In x Real] parameters.
Example Configuration #1 - Writing an Integer Parameter using a Datalink
• [Position Control] is linked to [Data In A1 Int]
The value that is sent to [Data In A1 Int] from the controller will show up in [Postion Control]. [Data
In A1 Int] is used because [Position Control] is an integer parameter.
Example Configuration #2 - Writing a Real Parameter using a Datalink
• [Torque Ref 1] is linked to [Data In A1 Real]
The value that is sent to [Data In A1 Real] from the controller will show up in [Torque Ref 1]. [Data
In A1 Real] is used because [Torque Ref 1] is a real integer parameter.
“Data Out” Parameters
[Data Out x Int] and [Data Out Real] parameters are outputs from the drive
to the controller and are used to read parameters. A total of 8 parameters can
be read with the “Data Out” parameters. In the 700S, each parameter is
either a 32 bit integer or a 32 bit floating point (real). This means that the
datalink parameters are 32 bits. [Dlink OutDataType] is used to select
whether each of the 8 “Data Out” data is an integer or real.
To read a 16 bit or 32 bit integer parameter, one of the [Data Out x Int]
parameters must be linked to the desired integer parameter. Then the bit
corresponding to the [Data In x Int] parameter in [Dlink OutDataType] is set
to 0.
To read to a real parameter, one of the [Data In x Real] parameters must be

linked to the desired real parameter. Then bit corresponding to the [Data In
x Real] parameter in [Dlink OutData Type] is set to 1.
Example Configuration #3 - Reading an Integer Parameter using a Datalink
• [Data Out A1 Int] is linked to [Position Status]
• [Dlink OutData Type] bit 0 is set to 0
The value from [Data Out A1 Int] to the controller contains the value of [Position Status]. [Data
Out A1 Int] is used and [Dlink OutDataType] bit 0 is set to 0 because [Position Status] is an
integer parameter.
Example Configuration #4 - Reading a Real Parameter using a Datalink
• [Data Out A1 Real] is linked to [Output Current]
• [Dlink OutDataType] bit 1 is set to 1
The value from [Data Out A1 Real] to the controller contains the value of [Output Current]. [Data
Out A1 Real] is used and [Dlink OutDataType] bit 0 is set to 1 because [Output Current] is a real
parameter.
DC Bus Voltage/Memory Information not available at time of publication

Decel Time The Decel Time parameter Parameter 33 [Decel Time] sets the rate at which
the drive ramps down its output during a ramp Stop command or during an
decrease in commanded speed (speed change).
The rate established is the result of the programmed Decel Time and the
programmed motor rated speed Parameter 4 [Motor NP RPM] as follows:
Motor RPM (Parameter 4)
----------------------------------------------------------------- = Decel Rate (RPM/sec)
Decel Time (Parameter 33)
Times are adjustable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 3600.0 seconds.
Programming zero seconds will cause the drive to use .1 second.

a total of 32 bit data. The bit definitions of the Logic Command word follow
the same pattern as Parameter158 [Drive Logic Rslt]. The bit definitions of
the Logic Status word follow the same pattern as bits 0-15 of Parameter155
[Logic Status]. Reference, Feedback, and Datalinks are 32 bit data. This
means with just the Logic Command/Status and Speed Ref/Fdbk I/O
enabled in the 20-COMM-D, would map 8 bytes of I/O in the DeviceNet
Scanner. With the Logic Command/Status, Speed Ref/Fdbk and all of the
Datalinks enabled would have a total of 40 bytes of I/O mapped in the
DeviceNet scanner. The I/O Image table for a ControlLogix system is

• [DigIn x User Data] will have the same bits that are set in [DigIn x Data].
Then the bit that was chosen in [Digin x Bit] will toggle based on
whether the digital inputs is on or off. A designation (sink) parameter is
then linked to [DigIn x User Data] so that it determines the value of that
sink parameter
Configuration Example
DigIn 1 will be setup to determine the value of [Speed Ref Sel]. DigIn 1 will
toggle [Speed Ref Sel] between a value of 1 “Speed Ref 1” and 5 “Speed
Ref 5.”
• [DigIn 1 Sel] = “User Select”

• [DigIn 1 Data] = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001
• [DigIn 1 Bit] = 2. This means when we toggle Digital Input 1, bit 2 of
[DigIn 1 User Data] will toggle.
When Digital Input 1 is off [DigIn 1 User Data] will be equal to [DigIn 1
Data]. In other words, [DigIn 1 User Data] will equal 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000 0000 0000 0001 (a value of 1).
When Digital Input 1 is on [DigIn 1 User Data] will be equal to [DigIn 1

Data] plus whatever bit was set in [DigIn 1 Bit]. In other words [DigIn 1
User Data] will equal 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 (a value
of 5).
[Speed Ref Sel] is linked to [DigIn 1 User Data]. Now [Speed Ref Sel] will
toggle between a value of 1 and 5.
Digital Input Status Bits

[Local I/O Status], bits 0-4 give the status of the digital inputs and can be
used for troubleshooting the digital inputs. The bits are broken down as
follows:
• Bit 0 - “Enable Input”

• Bit 1 - “Digital Input 1”
When the bit in [Local I/O Status] associated with the digital input is on,
this means the PowerFlex 700S sees that the digital input is on. When the bit
associated with the digital input is off, this means the PowerFlex 700S sees
the digital input is off.
Digital Outputs Technical Information

There are 3 digital outputs on the I/O board.
Digital Outputs 1 and 2 are 24VDC open collector (sinking logic). They are
rated 25mA maximum. Figure 2.9 is an example of how Digital Outputs 1
and 2 would be used with a light.
NOTE: The transistor in the diagram is the internal circuitry of the Digital
Output. When the logic for Digital Output 1 becomes true, the transistor
turns on, tying the transistor's collector to ground and completing the
circuit. Then the light will turn on.

The [Relay x Data] parameter and [Dig Out x Data] parameters are linked to
a parameter used to turn on the digital output.
The [Relay x Bit] parameter and [Dig Out x Bit] parameters select which bit
of the data you wish to use to turn on the digital output.
Configuration Example
This example configures Digital Output 1 for “Enabled.” “Enabled”
indicates the inverter section of the drive is active (IGBTs switching).
• [Dig Out 1 Data] is linked to [Logic Status]

• [Dig Out 1 Bit] is set to 0
When the “Enabled” bit of [Logic Status] turns on, Digital Output 1 turns
on.
Digital Output Status Bits

[Local I/O Status], bits 16-18 give the status of the digital outputs and can
be used for troubleshooting the digital outputs. The bits are broken down as
follows:
• Bit 16 - “Digital Output 3” (Output Relay)

• Bit 17 - “Digital Output 1” (Aux Out 1)
• Bit 18 - “Digital Output 2” (Aux Out 2)
When the bit in [Local I/O Status] associated with the digital output is on,
this means that the logic in the PowerFlex 700S is telling that digital output
to turn on. When the bit associated with the digital input is off, this means
that the logic in the PowerFlex 700S is telling that digital output to turn off.

Distribution Systems Information not available at time of publication

DPI DPI is an enhancement to SCANport that provides more functions and

better performance. SCANport was a CAN based, Master-Slave protocol,
created to provide a standard way of connecting motor control products and
optional peripheral devices together. It allows multiple (up to 6) devices to
communicate with a motor control product without requiring configuration
of the peripheral. SCANport and DPI both provide two basic message types
called Client/Server (C/S) and Producer/Consumer (P/C). Client/Server
messages are used to transfer parameter and configuration information in
the background (relative to other message types). Producer/Consumer
messages are used for control and status information. DPI adds a higher
baud rate, brand specific enabling, Peer-to-Peer (P/P) communication, and
Flash Memory programming support. PowerFlex drives support the existing
SCANport and Drive Peripheral Interface (DPI) communication protocols.
Multiple devices of each type (SCANport or DPI) can be attached to and
communicate with the drive at the same time. This communication interface
is the primary way to interact with, and control the drive.
Client/Server
Client/Server messages operate in the background (relative to other message
types) and are used for non-control purposes. The Client/Server messages
are based on a 10ms “ping” event that allows peripherals to perform a single
transaction (i.e. one C/S transaction per peripheral per time period).
Message fragmentation (because the message transaction is larger than the
standard CAN message of eight data bytes) is automatically handled by
Client/Server operation. The following types of messaging are covered:
• Logging in peripheral devices

• Read/Write of parameter values
• Access to all parameter information (limits, scaling, default, etc.)
• User set access
• Fault/Alarm queue access
• Event notification (fault, alarm, etc.)
• Access to all drive classes/objects (e.g. Device, Peripheral, Parameter,
etc.)
Producer/Consumer Operation Overview

Producer/Consumer messages operate at a higher priority than Client/Server
messages and are used to control/report the operation of the drive (e.g. start,
stop, etc.). A P/C status message is transmitted every 5ms (by the drive) and
a command message is received from every change of state in any attached
DPI peripheral. Change of state is a button being pressed or error detected
by a DPI peripheral. SCANport devices are slightly different in that those
peripherals transmit command messages upon reception of a drive status
message rather than on detection of a change of state. Producer/Consumer
messages are of fixed size, so support of message fragmentation is not

required. The following types of messaging are covered:
• Drive status (running, faulted, etc.)

• Drive commands (start, stop, etc.)
• Control logic parsing operations (e.g., mask and owner parameters)
• Entering Flash programming mode
• “Soft” login and logout of peripheral devices (enabling/disabling of
peripheral control)
Peer-to-Peer Operation
Peer-to-Peer messaging allows two devices to communicate directly rather
than through the master or host (i.e. drive). They are the same priority as C/
S messages and will occur in the background. In the PowerFlex 70 drive, the
only Peer-to-Peer functionality supports proxy operations for the LED HIM.
Since the PowerFlex 700 drive does not support an LED HIM, it will not
support Peer-to-Peer proxy operations. The Peer-to-Peer proxy operation is
only used so that the LED HIM can access parameters that are not directly
part of the regulator board (e.g. DeviceNet baud rate, etc.). The LED HIM is
not attached to a drive through a CAN connection (as normal DPI or
SCANport devices are), so a proxy function is needed to create a DPI
message to access information in an off-board peripheral. If an LCD HIM is
attached to the PowerFlex 70 or 700 drive, it will be able to directly request
off-board parameters using Peer-to-Peer messages (i.e. no proxy support
needed in the drive). Because the PowerFlex 70 supports the LED HIM,
only 4 communication ports can be used. PowerFlex 700 drives can use all 6
communication ports because Peer-to-Peer proxy operations are not needed.
All Peer-to-Peer operations occur without any intervention from the user
(regardless whether proxy or normal P/P operation), no setup is required.
No Peer-to-Peer proxy operations are required while the drive is in Flash
mode.
All the timing requirements specified in the DPI and SCANport System,
Control, and Messaging specifications are supported. Peripheral devices
will be scanned (“pinged”) at a 10ms rate. Drive status messages will be
produced at a 5ms rate, while peripheral command messages will be
accepted (by the drive) as they occur (i.e. change of state). Based on these
timings, the following worst case conditions can occur (independent of the
baud rate and protocol):
• Change of peripheral state (e.g. Start, Stop, etc.) to change in the drive -
10ms
• Change in reference value to change in drive operation - 10ms
• Change in Datalink data value to change in the drive - 10ms
• Change of parameter value into drive - 20ms times the number of
attached peripherals
The maximum time to detect the loss of communication from a peripheral

device is 500ms.
Table 2.D Timing Specifications contained in DPI and SCANport

DPI Host status messages only go out to peripherals once they log in and at least every 125ms (to all attached peripherals).
Periphals time out if more than 250ms. Actual time dependent on number of peripherals attached. Minimum time goal of
5ms (may have to be dependent on Port Baud Rate). DPI allows minimum 5ms status at 125k and 1ms status at 500k.
SCANport Host status messages only go out to the peripherals once they log in. Peripherals time out if more than 500ms. If
peripheral receives incorrect status message type, peripheral generates an error. Actual time dependent on number of
peripherals attached. SCANport allows minimum rate of 5ms.
DPI Host determines MUT based on number of attached peripherals. Range of values from 2 to 125ms. Minimum goal time
of 5ms. DPI allows 2ms at 500k and 5ms minimum at 125k.
SCANport No Minimum Update Time (MUT).
DPI Peripheral command messages (including Datalinks) generated on change-of-state, but not faster than Host MUT and at
least every 250ms. Host will time out if it is more then 500ms.
SCANport Command messages produced as a result of Host status message. If no command response to Host status within 3
status scan times, Host will time out on that peripheral.
DPI Peer messages requests cannot be sent any faster than 2x of MUT.
SCANport No peer message support.
DPI Host must ping every port at least every 2 seconds. Peripherals time if more then 3 seconds pass. Host will wait a
maximum of 10ms (125k) or 5ms (500k) for peripheral response to ping. Peripherals typical response time is 1ms.
Periphals allow only one pending explicit message (i.e. ping response or peer request) at a time.
SCANport Host waits at least 10ms for response to ping. Host cannot send more then 2 event messages (including ping) to a
peripheral within 5ms. Periphals typical response time is 1ms.
DPI Response to an explicit request or fragment must occur within 1 second or device will time out (applies to Host or
Peripheral). Time-out implies retry from beginning. Maximum number of fragments per transaction is 16. Flash memory
is exception with 22 fragments allowed.
SCANport Assume same 1 second time-out. Maximum number of fragments is 16.
DPI During Flash mode, host stops ping, but still supports status/command messages at a 1-5 second rate. drive will use 1
second rate. Data transfer occurs via explicit message as fast as possible (i.e. peripheral request, host response,
peripheral request, etc.) but only between two devices.
SCANport No Flash mode support.
The Minimum Update Time (MUT), is based on the message type only. A
standard command and Datalink command could be transmitted from the
same peripheral faster than the MUT and still be O.K. However, two
successive Datalink commands will have to be separated by the MUT.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers Tables Table 2.E and Table 2.F provide drive ratings (including continuous,
1 minute and 3 second) and recommended AC line input fuse and circuit
breaker information. Both types of short circuit protection are acceptable
for UL and IEC requirements. Sizes listed are the recommended sizes based
on 40o C and the U.S. N.E.C. Other country, state or local codes may
require different ratings.
Fusing
If fuses are chosen as the desired protection method, refer to the
recommended types listed below. If available amp ratings do not match the
tables provided, the closest fuse rating that exceeds the drive rating should
be chosen. IEC - BS88 (British Standard) Parts 1 & 2 (1), EN60269-1, Parts
1 & 2, type gG or equivalent should be used.
UL - UL Class CC, T, RK1 or J must be used.
Circuit Breakers
The “non-fuse” listings in the following tables include both circuit breakers
(inverse time or instantaneous trip) and 140M Self-Protecting Motor
Starters. If one of these is chosen as the desired protection method, the
following requirements apply. IEC and UL - Both types of devices are
acceptable for IEC and UL installations.

Masks A mask is a parameter that contains one bit for each of the possible
adapters. Each bit acts like a valve for issued commands. Closing the valve
(setting a bit value to 0) stops the command from reaching the DriveLogix.
Opening the valve (setting a bit value to 1) allows the command to pass
through the mask into the DriveLogix.
Table 2.H Mask Parameters and Functions
Parameter Function
[Logic Mask] Determines which adapters can control the drive. When the bit for an adapter
is set to “0,” the adapter will have no control functions except for stop.
[Start Mask] Controls which adapters can issue start commands.
[Jog Mask] Controls which adapters can issue jog commands.
[Direction Mask] Controls which adapters can issue forward/reverse direction commands.
[Fault Clr Mask] Controls which adapters can clear a fault.
The bits for each parameter are broken down as follows:
• Bit 0 - “Digital Input”

• Bit 1 - “Adapter 1”
• Bit 4 - Not Used
• Bit 7 - “DriveLogix”
Example: A customer's process is normally controlled by a remote PLC, but the

drive is mounted on the machine. The customer does not want anyone
to walk up to the drive and reverse the motor because it would damage
the process. The local HIM (drive mounted Adapter 1) is configured
with an operator's panel that includes a “REV” Button. To assure that
only the PLC (connected to Adapter 5) has direction control, the
[Direction Mask] can be set as follows:
Direction Mask 0100000

Adapter # X6543210
This “masks out” the reverse function from all adapters except Adapter 5,
making the local HIM (Adapter 1) REV button inoperable. Also see
PowerFlex 700S Users Manual.
Motor Control Select Information not available at time of publication

Motor Nameplate
[Motor NP Volts]
The motor nameplate base voltage defines the output voltage, when operating at rated current,
rated speed, and rated temperature.
[Motor NP FLA]
The motor nameplate defines the output amps, when operating at rated voltage, rated speed,
and rated temperature. It is used in the motor thermal overload, and in the calculation of slip.
[Motor NP Hz]
The motor nameplate base frequency defines the output frequency, when operating at rated
voltage, rated current, rated speed, and rated temperature.
[Motor NP RPM]
The motor nameplate RPM defines the rated speed, when operating at motor nameplate base
frequency, rated current, base voltage, and rated temperature. This is used to calculate slip.
[Motor NP Power]
The motor nameplate power is used together with the other nameplate values to calculate
default values for motor parameters to and facilitate the commissioning process. This may be
entered in horsepower or in kilowatts as selected in the previous parameter or kW for certain
catalog numbers and HP for others.
[Motor NP Pwr Units]
The rated power of the motor may be entered in horsepower or in kilowatts. This parameter
determines the units on the following parameter.
The 700S also uses two additional pieces of motor information:
• The number of motor poles - only even numbers are allowed (this may or
may not appear on the nameplate)
• Motor rotor inertia - time (seconds) for an uncoupled motor to accelerate
from zero to base speed, at rated motor torque. Calculated during
auto-tune.

Motor Start/Stop Information not available at time of publication

Precautions
Mounting Refer to the Chapter 1 of the PowerFlex 700S User Manual for mounting
instructions and limitations. As a general rule, drives should be mounted on
a metallic flat surface in the vertical orientation. If considering other
orientation, contact the Factory for additional data.
Output Devices Drive Output Disconnection
ATTENTION: Any disconnecting means wired to the drive

! output terminals U, V and W must be capable of disabling the
drive if opened during drive operation. If opened during drive
operation, the drive will continue to produce output voltage
between U, V, W. An auxiliary contact must be used to
simultaneously disable the drive.
Allen-Bradley Drives can be used with an output contactor between the

drive and motor. This contactor can be opened under load without damage
to the drive. It is recommended, however, that the drive have a programmed
“Enable” input and that this input be opened at the same time as the output
contactor.
Cable Termination
Voltage doubling at motor terminals, known as reflected wave phenomenon,
standing wave or transmission line effect, can occur when using drives with
long motor cables. Inverter duty motors with phase-to-phase insulation
ratings of 1200 volts or higher should be used to minimize effects of
reflected wave on motor insulation life.
Applications with non-inverter duty motors or any motor with exceptionally

long leads may require an output filter or cable terminator. A filter or
terminator will help limit reflection to the motor, to levels which are less
than the motor insulation rating.
Cable length restrictions for undetermined cables are discussed in Table

2.B. Remember the voltage doubling phenomenon occurs at different
lengths for different drive ratings. If your installation requires longer motor
cable lengths, a reactor or cable terminator is recommended.
Output Reactor
Bulletin 1321 Reactors can be used for drive input and output. These
reactors are specifically constructed to accommodate IGBT inverter
applications with switching frequencies up to 20 kHz. They have a UL
approved dielectric strength of 4000 volts, opposed to a normal rating of
2500 volts. The first two and last two turns of each coil are triple insulated
to guard against insulation breakdown resulting from high dv/dt. When
using motor line reactors, it is recommended that the drive PWM frequency
be set to its lowest value to minimize losses in the reactors.
By using an output reactor the effective motor voltage will be lower because
of the voltage drop across the reactor - this may also mean a reduction of
motor torque.
Output Display Output Current

Displays measured RMS drive output current. Parameter 297 [Output Curr
Disp] which is the integer equivalent of Parameter 308 with * internal
storage in 1/10 Amps (10 = 1.0amp).
Output Frequency
This parameter displays the actual output frequency of the drive. The output
frequency is created by a summation of commanded frequency and any
active speed regulator such as slip compensation, PI Loop, bus regulator.
The actual output may be different than the commanded frequency.
Output Power
This parameter displays the output kW of the drive. Motor Power is the
calculated product of the torque reference and motor speed feedback. A
125ms filter is applied to this result. Positive values indicate motoring
power; negative values indicate regenerative power. The output power is a
calculated value and tends to be inaccurate at lower speeds. It is not
recommended for use as a process variable to control a process.
Output Voltage
Displays RMS line-to-line fundamental output voltage at the drive output
terminals. This data is averaged and updated every 50 milliseconds. The
actual output voltage may be different than that determined by the
sensorless vector or V/Hz algorithms because it may be modified by
features such as the Auto-Economizer.

Owners An owner is a parameter that contains one bit for each of the possible
adapters. The bits are set high (value of 1) when its adapter is currently
issuing that command, and set low when its adapter is not issuing that
command.
Table 2.I Owner Parameters and Functions
Parameter Function
[Stop Owner] Indicates the adapters that are presently issuing a valid stop command.
[Start Owner] Indicates the adapters that are presently issuing a valid start command.
[Jog Owner] Indicates the adapters that are presently issuing a valid jog command.
[Direction Owner] Indicates the adapter that currently has exclusive control of direction changes.
[Fault Clr Owner] Indicates the adapters that are presently issuing a valid start command.
The bits for each parameter are broken down as follows:
• Bit 0 - “Digital Input”

• Bit2 - “Adapter 2”
• Bit 7 - “DriveLogix”
Ownership falls into two categories:
1. Exclusive: Only one adapter at a time can issue the command and only
one bit in the parameter will be high.
2. Non Exclusive: Multiple adapters can simultaneously issue the same

command and multiple bits may be high.
Some ownership must be exclusive; that is, only one Adapter at a time can
issue certain commands and claim ownership of that function. For example,
it is not allowable to have one Adapter command the drive to run in the
forward direction while another Adapter is issuing a command to make the
drive run in reverse. Direction Control, therefore, is exclusive ownership.
Conversely, any number of adapters can simultaneously issue Stop

Commands. Therefore, Stop Ownership is not exclusive.
Example: The operator presses the Stop button on the Local HIM to stop the drive.
When the operator attempts to restart the drive by pressing the HIM
Start button, the drive does not restart. The operator needs to
determine why the drive will not restart.
The operator first views the Start owner to be certain that the Start button on
the HIM is issuing a command.

Position Loop - Follower This information serves as a supplement to the PowerFlex 700S Users
PowerFlex 700S. Please refer to the Users Manual for details on Position
Loop configuration parameters. The position loop in the 700S drive can be
used in place of an additional motion controller for simple positioning
applications. The most common configuration will be in conjunction with
PLC control. This example uses an encoder from the lead drive to send
position/speed information to the PowerFlex700S position and speed loops.
XXXTechnical Information
General facts about the Point to Point Position Loop in the 700S:
1. Uses only Parameter 768 [PositReg P Gain] for tuning, Parameter 770
[Posit I Gain]
2. Uses quadrature encoder counts for positioning. i.e. 1024 encoder =

4096 counts per rev.
3. Speed loop tuning directly affects the position loop tuning and should be
tuned first
4. Position loop tuned independently of the speed loop
5. For best performance, use with Dynamic brake or Regenerative system

Overview
The Aux XRref positioning feature in the PowerFlex 700S gives the user the
ability to follow the position of a master motor without an external position
controller. The position loop can be scaled to different units other than
feedback counts, EGR (Electronic Gear Ratio). The position loop works as
an outer loop to the speed reference in the Aux XRef mode. The function of
the Aux XRef loop is to close the postion error of the follower in relation to
the master position. This allows position following of the master during
accel/decel and steady state operation. Also allows for correction moves to
match position of the master via an offset.

counts from a linked source for the position reference to the position loop.

Speed Ref Sel
For the position following mode to work properly, there needs to be a speed
reference to the speed loop of the drive to follow.
For this example Parameter 10 [Speed Ref 1] is linked to Parameter 241

[Encdr1 Spd Fdbk]. Speed Ref 1 is selected in Parameter 16 [Speed Ref
Sel].This generates the speed command from the master encoder input. If
EGR is used, Parameter 11 [Spd Ref1 Divide] must be used to match the
gear ratio set in the next step.

Position reference can be entered in user units by using the EGR scaling.
Parameter 745 [PositRef EGR Mul] and Parameter 746 [PositRef EGR Div]
are used to scale the position reference. For this example EGR is not used
for a 1:1 ratio.
EGR example:
Assuming a 1024 encoder on the motor which translates to 4096
counts per rev quadrature position counts.
Parameter 745 [PositRef EGR Mul] = 1
Parameter 746 [PositRef EGR Div] = 4
Translates the position command to a gear ratio of 4:1 Master Revs to
Follower Revs. Also Parameter 11 [Spd Ref1 Divide] needs to be set
to 4 for the EGR to function properly.

Offsets can be added to the position reference. Offsets are used to make a
correction move to sync the follower to the master position. There are two
offsets, Parameter 753[Posit Offset 1] and Parameter 754 [Posit Offset 2].
Offset speed must be entered in Parameter 755, if this is left at zero the
move will not occur. Offsets to position must be entered in counts of
feedback as it is added to the position reference after the EGR scaling.
Offsets must be maintained to keep the position, for example if you enter a
300 in the offset the position loop will move 300 counts extra. If you zero
the offset command the motor will return to the previous position. Offsets
can be added to or zeroed.
To zero the offset after a move, set Parameter 740 bit 5 =1 then set offset
value = 0 then set Parameter 740 bit 5 = 0. The system will not make an
offset move when Parameter 740 bit 5 is set.

The speed loop of the drive must be tuned prior to tuning the Position Loop.
Parameter 768 [PositReg P Gain] = 4 (Default)

Tuning Tips
TIP: Do not attempt to set the accel/decel rates of the point to point
position loop faster than can be accomplished by the speed loop bandwidth.
Attempting to set the accel/decel rates faster than the speed loop can handle
will cause instability in the position loop.
TIP: Do not attempt to operate at the torque limits of the drive motor
combination.
TIP: Typical Parameter 768 [PositReg P Gain] is set between 1/5 to 1/3 of
the velocity BW, but may be set higher using lead compensation on the
Position Regulator Output. Lead/Lag filtering of the position regulator
output is accomplished via the speed trim 2 filter. Parameter 25 [Strim2 Filt
Gain] and Parameter 26 [Strim2 Filt BW]. Making the Lead filter = 1/BW.
Example: BW = 40 r/s Setting Parameter 25 [Strim2 Filt Gain] = 5 and
Parameter 26 [Strim2 Filt BW] = 200 will effectively cancel the 1/40 sec.
lag. This will allow a higher position gain for increased stability.
TIP: Parameter 770 [PositReg Integ] can be used but is disabled by default.
If used Parameter 772 [XReg Integ LoLim] and Parameter 773 [XReg Integ
HiLim] should be set with narrow limits.

Overview
The Point to Point positioning feature in the PowerFlex 700S gives the user
the ability to position the load without an external position controller. The
Point to Point function of the position loop moves from current location to
commanded location then holds that position until given a new reference or
a stop command. The position is not maintained when the drive is stopped
or the position loop is not enabled. When the position loop is enabled, the
value at Parameter 758 [Pt-Pt Posit Ref] is the current position. A position
ReRef needs to be used to establish the correct position for meaningful
operation. The position loop can be scaled to different units other than
feedback counts, i.e. degrees or inches.

Parameter 753[Posit Offset 1] and Parameter 754 [Posit Offset 2]. Offset
speed must be entered in Parameter 755, if this is left at zero the move will

Parameter 768 [PositReg P Gain] = 4 (Default)
Parameter 761 [Pt-Pt Filt BW] sets the bandwidth of a low pass filter
which affects smoothness at the start of deceleration in the point to
point mode. A high filter bandwidth will produce a more square
deceleration torque, one with a higher level of jerk. Typical values are
5 to 100 (rad/sec.). A zero value will bypass the filter. Tail-out is
influenced mainly by Parameter 768. Too high of a value in this
parameter will cause unstable operation at the end of the move.

to zero. This is only active in Point to Point mode. Default = 10
Parameter 775 [Xreg Spd LoLim] Negative speed limit at which the position
regulator will output. Default = -1750
Parameter 776 [Xreg Spd HiLim] Positive speed limit at which the position regulator
will output. Default = 175
Tuning Tips
TIP: Do not attempt to set the accel/decel rates of the point to point
position loop faster than can be accomplished by the speed loop bandwidth.
Attempting to set the accel/decel rates faster than the speed loop can handle
will cause instability in the position loop.
TIP: Do not attempt to operate at the torque limits of the drive motor

TIP: Typical Parameter 768[PositReg P Gain] is set between 1/5 to 1/3 of

the velocity BW, but may be set higher using lead compensation on the
Position Regulator Output. Lead/Lag filtering of the position regulator
output is accomplished via the speed trim 2 filter of Parameter 25 [Strim2
Filt Gain] and Parameter 26 [Strim2 Filt BW]. Making the Lead filter = 1/
BW. Example: BW = 40 r/s Setting Parameter 25 [Strim2 Filt Gain] = 5
and Parameter 26 [Strim2 Filt BW] = 200 will effectively cancel the 1/40
sec. lag. This will allow a higher position gain for increased stability.

Remote I/O Adapter This serves as a supplement to the PowerFlex Remote I/O Adapter Users
(20-COMM-R) Manual, publication 20COMM-UM004B-EN-P addressing items specific
to the PowerFlex 700S. Please refer to the Users Manual for details on
20-COMM-R set-up, configuration, rack configurations, and block
transfers.
First a few general facts about the 20-COMM-R (refer to Chapter 4 of the
PowerFlex Remote I/O Adapter Users Manual for details):
1. Can only be configured as a 1/4 or1/2 rack
2. Remote I/O (RIO) is based on 16-bit integer values
3. Datalinks are transferred to and from the drive by block transfers
ControlLogix System
Here is the I/O image table for the ControlLogix system and a 20-COMM-R
configured as a ¼ rack. Notice that the first 2 words of the image table are
Discrete I/O, the rest of the data comes across as Block Transfer I/O.

Source and Destination Buffer Handler
Tags
When the 20-COMM-R is configured as a ½ rack, the Reference and

Feedback values become words 2 and 3 in the Discrete I/O. The mapping
for the Datalinks sent over block transfer I/O stays the same. Words 0 and 1
in the block transfer I/O become buffers.
Reference/Feedback Programming
Because the PowerFlex 700S is based on 32-bit and floating-point
parameters, some special data handling is required when using Remote I/O.

20-COMM-R, Parameter 691 [DPI Ref Select] must be set to “Port 5.”

Datalink Programming
To read datalinks, the bits in Parameter 723 [Dlink OutDataTyp] must be set
appropriately for each Datalink to select whether the data is floating point or
DINT.
Because the datalinks are transmitted and received through block transfers,
the data type in the controller is limited to 16-bit integers. To write or read
floating point or 32-bit integers the COP (copy) instruction must be utilized.
The copy instruction in ControlLogix performs a bitwise copy. Set the
length of the copy instruction to a value appropriate for the destination data
type.
For example:
1. When copying a floating-point value into an integer register, the length

will be 2. A single precision IEEE floating point value uses 32-bits. This
means (2) 16-bit integers are required to properly transmit the data.
2. When copying (2) integer values (the low and high word of 32-bit data)
into a floating-point register, the length will be 1.
SLC/PLC-5 System
Reference/Feedback Programming
The reference is scaled so that base motor speed = 32768. The SLC/PLC-5
does not use DINT, and only handle 16 bit integers, so the reference has to
be handled differently to account for references above 32767 or below
-32768. The following example shows how to transmit references less than
twice base motor speed.
Calculate a speed reference based on 32768 = base motor speed.

The feedback is also scaled so that base motor speed = 32768. The SLC/

has to be handled differently to account for references above 32767 or

Datalink Programming
Datalinks are transmitted and received through block transfers. The SLC/
PLC-5 is limited to 16 bit integers and floating point. In order to send or
receive floating point Datalinks we have to swap the LSW and MSW and
utilize the COP (copy) instruction. Because the SLC/PLC-5 does not
support 32-bit integers, 32-bit Datalinks remain split into 2, 16 bit integers.
The following examples are for transmitting and receiving the different
types of Datalinks.

A DINT datalink is sent across RIO as 2, 16 bit intergers. There is no DINT datatype in the SLC, so to read the data we will copy the

SynchLink This section contains information specific to PowerFlex 700S SynchLink

parameters and gives an example of setting up the PowerFlex 700S
SynchLink using DriveExecutive. Please refer to the SynchLink System
Design Guide, publication 1756-TD008A-EN-P, for PowerFlex 700S
SynchLink topologies, hardware and wiring details.
SynchLink data is transmitted as a combination of direct and buffered data.
The following table shows the different formats for transmit/receive data
and the respective SynchLink fiber update rates for the direct and buffered
data.
# of Direct Words Direct Word Update # of Buffered Words Buffered Word Update
2 50 µSec 18 0.5 ms
4 50 µSec 18 1 ms
4 50 µSec 8 0.5 ms
SynchLink Configuration
Parameter 1000 [SL Node Cnfg] is broken down into 3 bits:
• Bit 1 - “Time Keeper” - This bit is turned on and all other bits turned off
in the SynchLink master. Only one drive in a SynchLink network can be
the time keeper.
• Bit 2 - “Reserved” - Not used.
• Bit 3 - “Synch Now” - This bit is turned on and all other bits off in the
SynchLink slaves.
Parameter 1010 [SL Rx Comm Frmt] selects the format of data to be

received. It can be set to:
• “0A, 0D, 0B”- No data.

• “0A, 2D, 18B” - 2 direct words and 18 buffered words.
Parameters 1011 [SL Rx DirectSel0] through 1014 [SL Rx DirectSel3]

select what you want to do with received data. The most common settings
for these parameters are:
• “No Data” - SynchLink received data is passed straight through.

• “SL Multiply” - See details on multiply block.
Parameters 1021 [SL Tx DirectSel0] through 1024 [SL Tx DirectSel3]

select what transmit data you wish to send. The most common settings for
these parameters are:
• “No Data” - No data is selected for that transmit word.

• “Dir Tx Data” - Use this selection to transmit a parameter.
SynchLink Direct Data
Direct Data Transmit Parameters (Master)
Even Parameters 1054 [SL Dir Int Rx0] through 1060 [SL Dir Int Rx3]
contain the integer values for data received from SynchLink. An integer
destination parameter can be linked to these parameters.
Odd Parameters 1055 [SL Dir Real Rx0] through 1061 [SL Dir Real Rx3]
contain the floating point values for data received from SynchLink. A real
destination parameter can be linked to these parameters.
Direct Data Receive Parameters (Slave)
Parameter 1140 [Tx Dir Data Type] bits 0 through 3 select whether the
direct data words transmitted over SynchLink will be integer or real. When
the bit is turned off, it means the data transmitted will be integer. When the
bit is turned on, it means the data transmitted will be real.
Odd Parameters 1141 [SL Dir Int Tx0] through 1147 [SL Dir Int Tx3]
contain the integer values for data transmitted to SynchLink. These
parameters can be linked to integer source parameters.
Even Parameters 1142 [SL Dir Real Tx0] through 1148 [SL Dir Real Tx3]
contain the floating point values for data transmitted to SynchLink. These
parameters can be linked to real source parameters.
Multiply Block:
SynchLink has the ability to take one of the direct data words and multiply
it by a constant or parameter value for features such as draw control.
Parameters for the multiply block must be setup in the master as well as the
slave.
Multiply Block Transmit Parameters (Master)
SynchLink sends across the multiply data as an integer, so floating point

values are converted to integer.
Parameter 1032 [SL Mult Base] sets the value to multiply Parameter 1035
[Real to Int In] before sending it out SynchLink. Make sure this parameter
is set appropriately so that the integer value sent across SynchLink has
enough resolution.
Parameter 1034 [SL Mult State] contains overflow bits if the data for the
multiply block is too large. It is broken down into the following bits:
• Bit 0 - “Local Ovflow” - The result of the multiply function is too large.
• Bit 1 - “Rx Ovflow” - The data received from SynchLink is too large.
• Bit 2 - Not used
• Bit 3 - “FtoI Ovflow” - In the master, the data converted from floating
point to integer is too large.
Parameter 1035 [Real to Int In] is linked to the parameter that you want to
multiply.
Parameter 1036 [Real to Int Out] contains the integer value sent over
SynchLink. One of the SynchLink direct integer transmit words (Parameter
1141, 1143, 1145, or 1147) must be linked to Parameter 1036 to send the
value over SynchLink.
For example, to use the multiply block to scale the s-curved speed reference
and send it over SynchLink, link Parameter 1035 [Real to Int In] to
Parameter 43 [S Curve Spd Ref]. Set Parameter 1032 [SL Mult Base] to
10,000. Then link Parameter 1141 [SL Dir Int Tx0] to Parameter 1036 [Real
to Int Out].
Multiply Block Receive Parameters (Slave)
Select which direct word to use the multiply block on by setting one of the
following parameters: Parameter 1011 [SL Rx DirectSel0], Parameter 1012
[SL Rx DirectSel1], Parameter 1013 [SL Rx DirectSel2], or Parameter 1014
[SL Rx DirectSel4] to “SL Multiply.” Note that the receive parameter
selected to use the multiply block in the slave must correspond to the
transmit parameter selected to use the multiply block in the master.
Parameter 1030 [SL Mult A In] contains the value received from
SynchLink, after it was divided by Parameter 1032 [SL Mult Base].
Parameter 1031 [SL Mult B In] contains the multiply scale factor to
multiply by the value received from SynchLink. Note that Parameter 1031
could be a constant or linked to a source parameter.
Parameter 1032 [SL Mult Base] contains the base to convert integer data
received from SynchLink back to real data. Usually, Parameter 1032 [SL
Mult Base] will be set the same in the master and slave.
Parameter 1033 [SL Mult Out] contains the result of the multiply block. A
destination parameter can be linked to Parameter 1033 [SL Mult Out].
Parameter 1034 [SL Mult State] contains overflow bits if the data for the
multiply block is too large. It is broken down into the following bits:
• Bit 0 - “Local Ovflow” - The result of the multiply function is too large.
• Bit 1 - “Rx Ovflow” - The data received from SynchLink is too large.
• Bit 2 - Not used
• Bit 3 - “FtoI Ovflow” - In the master, the data converted from floating
point to integer is too large.
For example, to receive the S-curved speed reference from the master and
scale it by 0.5, set Parameter 1011 [SL Rx DirectSel 0] to “SL Multiply.”
Set Parameter 1031 [SL Mult B In] to 0.5. Set Parameter 1032 [SL Mult
Base] to 10,000. Link Parameter 37 [Spd Ref Bypass] to Parameter 1033
[SL Mult Out].
Buffered Data
Buffered Data Transmit Parameters (Master)
Parameter 1160 [Tx Buf Data Type], bits 0 through 29, select whether each
word of buffered data that is transmitted is integer or real. When the bit is
turned off, it means the data transmitted will be integer. When the bit is
turned on, it means the data transmitted will be real.
Odd Parameters 1161 [SL Buf Int Tx00] through 1219 [SL Buf Int Tx29]
are linked to integer parameters that you want to send out SynchLink as
buffered data. Note that at this time, the maximum number of buffered
words that can be sent over SynchLink is 18, so only odd Parameters 1161
[SL Buf Int Tx00] through 1195 [SL Buf Int Tx17] would be used.
Even Parameters 1162 [SL Buf Real Tx00] through 1220 [SL Buf Real
Tx29] are linked to real parameters that you want to send out SynchLink as
buffered data. Note that at this time, the maximum number of buffered
words that can be sent over SynchLink is 18, so only odd Parameters 1162
[SL Buf Real Tx00] through 1196 [SL Buf Real Tx17] would be used.
Buffered Data Receive Parameters (Slave)
Odd Parameters 1073 [SL Buf Int Rx00] through 1131 [SL Buf Int Rx29]
contain integer values that you receive from SynchLink as buffered data.
Destination parameters that are integers can be linked to this buffered data.
Note that at this time, the maximum number of buffered words that can be
received over SynchLink is 18, so only odd Parameters 1073 [SL Buf Int
Rx00] through 1107 [SL Buf Int Rx17] would be used.
Even Parameters 1074 [SL Buf Real Rx00] through 1132 [SL Buf Real
Rx29] contain real values that you receive from SynchLink as buffered data.
Destination parameters that are real values can be linked to this buffered
data. Note that at this time, the maximum number of buffered words that can
be received over SynchLink is 18, so only even Parameters 1074 [SL Buf
Real Rx00] through 1108 [SL Buf Real Rx17] would be used.

Speed Synchronization Example:

This example will go through how to setup SynchLink to synchronize the
ramped, s-curved speed reference for 2 PowerFlex 700S drives using
DriveExecutive. Note that the “Peer Communication” setup in
DriveExecutive configures the appropriate SynchLink parameters for you as
you go through the setup.
Once connected to the drive, click on “Drive, and then “Peer

Communication” to get to the SynchLink configuration dialog box.
A dialog box similar to the one shown will appear. This is the dialog box
used to setup SynchLink communication.
Master PowerFlex 700S Drive Setup

In the master, or transmitting drive, select the SynchLink Transmit format.
For this example, select “4 Direct Words, 8 Buffered Words.”
For Transmitted Direct Word 0, select “Drive Parameter” for the Source and
Parameter 43[S Curve Spd Ref] for the Item.
Click and a dialog box will appear.
Uncheck “Sync Now” and check the “Time Keeper” box. The master drive
is now the Time Keeper for SynchLink.
Click “OK” twice to accept the settings and close the dialog boxes for Peer
Communication.
To synchronize the speed references, we must add a time delay to the

S-Curve Spd Ref of the master. To do this link Parameter 37 [Spd Ref
Bypass] to Parameter 45 [Delayed Spd Ref].
Slave PowerFlex 700S Setup

In the slave drive, select the SynchLink Receive Format to match the size of
the data transmitted from the master. For this example, select “4 Direct
Words, 8 Buffered Words.”
If desired, the multiply block can be used to change the scaling of one of the
Direct Words coming from the master to the slave. For example, the
multiply might be used to enter a gear ratio for the speed reference.
Click and a dialog box appears.
Verify that only the “Sync Now” box is checked (this is factory default).
Click “OK” twice to accept the settings and close the dialog boxes for Peer
Communication.
Now we must link the Spd Ref Bypass of the slave to Word 0 of Direct Data
coming over SynchLink. To do this, link Parameter 37 [Spd Ref Bypass] to
Parameter 1055 [SL Dir Real Rx0].
Note that by linking to Spd Ref Bypass of the slave, we bypassed the ramp
and S-Curve of the slave. This is because the reference is already ramped
and S-Curved by the master. This way, both drives follow exactly the same
ramp.
Cycle Power
• You must power down all drives before SynchLink changes take effect.
• First apply power to the Master. The SynchLink LED should be solid
green. The SynchLink LED is on the top right of the MCB and is visible
through the window on the control assembly.
• When power is applied to the slave(s), the LED should be a solid light in
about 1 minute.

Understanding How Dynamic Braking Works
How Dynamic Braking Works

When an induction motor’s rotor is turning slower than the synchronous
speed set by the drive’s output power, the motor is transforming
electrical energy obtained from the drive into mechanical energy
available at the drive shaft of the motor. This process is referred to as
motoring. When the rotor is turning faster than the synchronous speed
set by the drive’s output power, the motor is transforming mechanical
energy available at the drive shaft of the motor into electrical energy that
can be transferred back to the drive. This process is referred to as
regeneration.
Most AC PWM drives convert AC power from the fixed frequency utility
grid into DC power by means of a diode rectifier bridge or controlled
SCR bridge before it is inverted into variable frequency AC power.
Diode and SCR bridges are cost effective, but can only handle power in
the motoring direction. Therefore, if the motor is regenerating, the
bridge cannot conduct the necessary negative DC current, the DC bus
voltage will increase and cause an overvoltage fault at the drive. More
complex bridge configurations use SCRs or transistors that can
transform DC regenerative electrical power into fixed frequency utility
electrical energy. This process is known as line regeneration.
A more cost effective solution can be provided by allowing the drive to

feed the regenerated electrical power to a resistor which transforms it
into thermal energy. This process is referred to as dynamic braking.
1-2 Understanding How Dynamic Braking Works
Dynamic Brake Components

A Dynamic Brake consists of a Chopper (the chopper transistor and
related control components are built into PowerFlex drives) and a
Dynamic Brake Resistor.

Chopper
The Chopper is the Dynamic Braking circuitry that senses rising DC bus
voltage and shunts the excess energy to the Dynamic Brake Resistor. A
Chopper contains three significant power components:
The Chopper Transistor is an Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT).

The Chopper Transistor is either ON or OFF, connecting the Dynamic
Brake Resistor to the DC bus and dissipating power, or isolating the
resistor from the DC bus. The most important rating is the collector
current rating of the Chopper Transistor that helps to determine the
minimum resistance value used for the Dynamic Brake Resistor.
Understanding How Dynamic Braking Works 1-3
Chopper Transistor Voltage Control regulates the voltage of the DC bus

during regeneration. The average values of DC bus voltages are:
• 395V DC (for 240V AC input)
Voltage dividers reduce the DC bus voltage to a value that is usable in
signal circuit isolation and control. The DC bus feedback voltage from
the voltage dividers is compared to a reference voltage to actuate the
Chopper Transistor.
The Freewheel Diode (FWD), in parallel with the Dynamic Brake

Resistor, allows any magnetic energy stored in the parasitic inductance
of that circuit to be safely dissipated during turn off of the Chopper
Transistor.
Resistor
The Resistor dissipates the regenerated energy in the form of heat. The
PowerFlex Family of Drives can use either the internal dynamic brake
resistor option or an externally mounted dynamic brake resistor wired to
the drive.
1-4 Understanding How Dynamic Braking Works
Notes:
Section 2
Determining Dynamic Brake Requirements
How to Determine Dynamic Brake Requirements

When a drive is consistently operating in the regenerative mode of
operation, serious consideration should be given to equipment that will
transform the electrical energy back to the fixed frequency utility grid.
As a general rule, Dynamic Braking can be used when the need to

dissipate regenerative energy is on an occasional or periodic basis. In
general, the motor power rating, speed, torque, and details regarding the
regenerative mode of operation will be needed in order to estimate what
Dynamic Brake Resistor value is needed.
The Peak Regenerative Power and Average Regenerative Power

required for the application must be calculated in order to determine the
resistor needed for the application. Once these values are determined, the
resistors can be chosen. If an internal resistor is chosen, the resistor must
be capable of handling the regenerated power or the drive will trip. If an
external resistor is chosen, in addition to the power capabilities, the
resistance must also be less than the application maximum and greater
than the drive minimum or the drive will trip.
The power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor is estimated by

applying what is known about the drive’s motoring and regenerating
modes of operation. The Average Power Dissipation must be estimated
and the power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor chosen to be greater
than that average. If the Dynamic Brake Resistor has a large
thermodynamic heat capacity, then the resistor element will be able to
absorb a large amount of energy without the temperature of the resistor
element exceeding the operational temperature rating. Thermal time
constants in the order of 50 seconds and higher satisfy the criteria of
large heat capacities for these applications. If a resistor has a small heat
capacity (defined as thermal time constants less than 5 seconds) the
temperature of the resistor element could exceed its maximum.
Peak Regenerative Power can be calculated as:

• Horsepower (English units)
• Watts (The International System of Units, SI)
• Per Unit System (pu) which is relative to a value
The final number must be in watts of power to estimate the resistance
value of the Dynamic Brake Resistor. The following calculations are
demonstrated in SI units.
2-2 Determining Dynamic Brake Requirements
Gather the Following Information

• Power rating from motor nameplate in watts, kilowatts, or
horsepower
• Speed rating from motor nameplate in rpm or rps (radians per
second)
• Required decel time (per Figure 2.1, t3 – t2). This time is a process
requirement and must be within the capabilities of the drive
programming.
• Motor inertia and load inertia in kg-m2 or lb.-ft.2
• Gear ratio (GR) if a gear is present between the motor and load
• Motor shaft speed, torque, and power profile of the drive application
Figure 2.1 shows typical application profiles for speed, torque and
power. The examples are for cyclical application that is periodic over t4

Resistors
It is assumed that the application exhibits a periodic function of
acceleration and deceleration. If (t3 – t2) equals the time in seconds
necessary for deceleration from rated speed to ωo speed, and t4 is the
time in seconds before the process repeats itself, then the average duty
cycle is (t3 – t2)/t4. The power as a function of time is a linearly
decreasing function from a value equal to the peak regenerative power to
some lesser value after (t3 – t2) seconds have elapsed. The average power
regenerated over the interval of (t3 – t2) seconds is: P b ( ωb + ωo )

The calculation of PL in percent gives the percentage of the

instantaneous power dissipated by the Dynamic Brake Resistors relative
to the steady state power dissipation capacity of the resistors. This will
give a data point to be drawn on one of the curves provided in Section 3.
Example Calculation
A 10 HP, 4 Pole, 480 Volt motor and drive is accelerating and
decelerating as depicted in Figure 2.1.
• Cycle period t4 is 40 seconds

• Rated speed is 1785 RPM and is to be decelerated to 0 speed in 15.0
seconds
• Motor load can be considered purely as inertia, and all power
expended or absorbed by the motor is absorbed by the motor and
load inertia
• Load inertia is 4.0 lb.-ft.2 and is directly coupled to the motor
• Motor rotor inertia is 2.2 lb.-ft.2
• A PowerFlex 70, 10 HP 480V Normal Duty rating is chosen.
Calculate the necessary values to choose an acceptable Dynamic Brake.
Rated Power = 10 HP × 746 watts = 7.46 kW
This information was given and must be known before the calculation
process begins. This can be given in HP, but must be converted to watts
before it can be used in the equations.

This information was given and must be known before the calculation
process begins. This can be given in RPM, but must be converted to
radians per second before it can be used in the equations.
Total Inertia = J T = 6.2 lb.-ft. 2 = 0.261 kg-m 2
This value can be in lb.-ft.2 or Wk2, but must be converted into kg-m2
before it can be used in the equations.
Deceleration Time = ( t 3 – t 2 ) = 15 seconds
Period of Cycle = t 4 = 40 seconds

V d = 750 Volts
This was known because the drive is rated at 480 Volts rms. If the drive
were rated 230 Volts rms, then Vd = 395 Volts.
All of the preceding data and calculations were made from knowledge of
the application under consideration. The total inertia was given and did
not need further calculations as outlined in Step 1.

( t3 – t2 )
Pb = 0.261 [ 186.92 ( 186.92 – 0 ) -] = 608.6 watts

------------------------------------------------------------

Note that this is 8.1% of rated power and is less than the maximum drive
limit of 150% current limit. This calculation is the result of Step 2 and
determines the peak power that must be dissipated by the Dynamic
Brake Resistor.

This is the result of calculating the average power dissipation as outlined

in Step 4. Verify that the sum of the power ratings of the Dynamic Brake
Resistors chosen in Step 3 is greater than the value calculated in Step 4.
Refer to Table A.A to determine the continuous power rating of the

resistor in the given drive you are using. You will need this number to
determine the Percent Average Load and the Percent Peak Load.

This is the result of the calculation outlined in Step 5. Record this value
on page 3-1.
Now that the values of AL and PL have been calculated, they can be used
to determine whether an internal or external resistor can be used. Since
the internal resistor package offers significant cost and space advantages,
it will be evaluated first.
Notes:
Section 3
Evaluating the Internal Resistor
Evaluating the Capability of the Internal Dynamic Brake Resistor
To investigate the capabilities of the internal resistor package, the values

of AL (Average Percent Load) and PL (Peak Percent Load) are plotted
onto a graph of the Dynamic Brake Resistor’s constant temperature
power curve and connected with a straight line. If any portion of this line
lies to the right of the constant temperature power curve, the resistor
element temperature will exceed the operating temperature limit.
Important: The drive will protect the resistor and shut down the
Chopper transistor. The drive will then likely trip on an
overvoltage fault.

Section 4
Selecting An External Resistor
How to Select an External Dynamic Brake Resistor

In order to select the appropriate External Dynamic Brake Resistor for
your application, the following data must be calculated.
Peak Regenerative Power

(Expressed in watts)
This value is used to determine the maximum resistance value of the
Dynamic Brake Resistor. If this value is greater than the maximum
imposed by the peak regenerative power of the drive, the drive can trip
off due to transient DC bus overvoltage problems.
Power Rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor

The average power dissipation of the regenerative mode must be
estimat4ed and the power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor chosen
to be greater than the average regenerative power dissipation of the
drive.
4-2 Selecting An External Resistor
Protecting External Resistor Packages
ATTENTION: PowerFlex drives do not offer protection for externally

mounted brake resistors. A risk of fire exists if external braking
! resistors are not protected. External resistor packages must be
self-protected from over temperature or the protective circuit show
below, or equivalent, must be supplied.

Calculate Maximum Dynamic Brake Resistance Value

When using an internal Dynamic Brake Resistor, the value is fixed.
However, when choosing an external resistor, the maximum allowable
Dynamic Brake resistance value (Rdb1) must be calculated.
( Vd )2
R db1 = ------------
Pb
Rdb1 = Maximum allowable value for the dynamic brake resistor

(ohms)
Vd = DC bus voltage the chopper module regulates to

(395V DC, 790V DC, or 987V DC)
Pb = Peak breaking power calculated in Section 2: Step 2

(watts)
Calculate Maximum Dynamic Brake Resistance:
( ooooooooo ) 2
R db1 = ----------------------------------
[ ooooooooo ]
Record Maximum Dynamic Brake Resistance:
Rdb1 =
The choice of the Dynamic Brake resistance value should be less than
the value calculated in this step. If the value is greater, the drive can trip
on DC bus overvoltage. Do not reduce Pb by any ratio because of
estimated losses in the motor and inverter. This has been accounted for
by an offsetting increase in the manufacturing tolerance of the resistance
value and the increase in resistance value due to the temperature
coefficient of resistor element.
Select Resistor
Select a resistor bank from Table 4.A or 4.B or your resistor supplier that
has all of the following:
• a resistance value that is less than the value calculated (Rdb1 in ohms)
• a resistance value that is greater than the minimum resistance listed
in Table A.A
• a power value that is greater than the value calculated in Step 3
(Pav in watts)
ATTENTION: The internal dynamic brake IGBT will be damaged if

the resistance value of the resistor bank is less than the minimum
! resistance value of the drive. Use Table A.A to verify that the resistance
value of the selected resistor bank is greater than the minimum
resistance of the drive.
If no resistor appears in the following tables that is greater than the

minimum allowable resistance and is less than the calculated maximum
resistance:
• Adjust the deceleration time of the application to fit an available

resistor package.
or
• Use the calculated data to purchase resistors locally.
or
• Consult the factory for other possible resistor packages.
