 Preface

General Precautions
ATTENTION: The drive contains high-voltage capacitors, which take time to
discharge after removal of mains supply. After power has been removed
from the drive, wait three minutes to make sure DC bus capacitors are
discharged. After three minutes, verify AC voltage L1, L2, L3 (Line to Line and
Line to Ground) to ensure mains power has been disconnected. Measure DC
voltage across DC- and DC+ bus terminals to verify DC Bus has discharged
to zero volts. Measure DC voltage from L1, L2, L3, T1, T2, T3 DC – and DC+
terminals to ground and keep the meter on the terminals until the voltage
discharges to zero volts. The discharge process may take several minutes
to reach zero volts.
Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that capacitors have
discharged to safe voltage levels.
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency AC
drives and associated machinery should plan or implement the installation,
startup and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive
parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required when
installing, testing, servicing, or repairing this assembly. Component damage
may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar
with static control procedures, reference Allen-Bradley® publication 8000-
4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage” or any other applicable ESD
protection handbook.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in
component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application
errors, such as undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or
excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION: The bus regulator function is extremely useful for preventing
nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive decelerations,
overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. However, it can also cause either of
the following two conditions to occur.
1. Fast positive changes in input voltage or imbalanced input voltages can
cause uncommanded positive speed changes.
2. Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded deceleration
times.
However, a “Stall Fault” is generated if the drive remains in this state for one
minute. If this condition is unacceptable, the bus regulator must be
disabled (see parameter A550 [Bus Reg Enable]). In addition, installing a
properly sized dynamic brake resistor will provide proper stopping
requirements based on braking resistor sizing.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Drive does not
contain user-serviceable components. Do not disassemble drive chassis.

Derating Guidelines for High Altitude

The drive can be used without derating at a maximum altitude of

1000 m (3300 ft). If the drive is used above 1000 m (3300 ft):
• Derate the maximum ambient temperature by 5 °C (9 °F for every
additional 1000 m (3300 ft), subject to limits listed in the Altitude Limit
(Based on Voltage) table below.
Or
• Derate the output current by 10% for every additional 1000 m (3300 ft),
up to 3000 m (9900 ft), subject to limits listed in the Altitude Limit
(Based on Voltage) table below.

AC Supply Source Ungrounded Distribution Systems

Considerations
ATTENTION: PowerFlex 520-series drives contain protective MOVs that are
referenced to ground. These devices must be disconnected if the drive is
installed on an ungrounded or resistive grounded distribution system.
ATTENTION: Removing MOVs in drives with an embedded filter will also
disconnect the filter capacitor from earth ground.

Disconnecting MOVs

To prevent drive damage, the MOVs connected to ground shall be

disconnected if the drive is installed on an ungrounded distribution system (IT
mains) where the line-to-ground voltages on any phase could exceed 125% of
the nominal line-to-line voltage. To disconnect these devices, remove the
jumper that is shown in the diagrams below.
1. Turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Pull the jumper completely out of the drive chassis.
3. Tighten the screw to keep it in place.

Input Power Conditioning

The drive is suitable for direct connection to input power within the rated
voltage of the drive (see page 167). Listed in the Input Power Conditions table
below are certain input power conditions, which may cause component
damage or reduction in product life. If any of these conditions exist, install one
of the devices that are listed under the heading Corrective Action on the line
side of the drive.

IMPORTANT Only one device per branch circuit is required. It should be mounted
closest to the branch and sized to handle the total current of the branch
circuit.

Input Power Conditions

Input Power Condition Corrective Action
Low Line Impedance (less than 1% line reactance) • Install Line Reactor.(1)
or
Greater than 120 kVA supply transformer • Install Isolation Transformer.
Line has power factor correction capacitors
• Install Line Reactor.(1)
Line has frequent power interruptions or
Line has intermittent noise spikes in excess of 6000V (lightning) • Install Isolation Transformer.
Phase to ground voltage exceeds 125% of normal line-to-line voltage • Remove MOV jumper to ground.
Ungrounded distribution system or
• Install Isolation Transformer with
B-phase grounded distribution system grounded secondary if necessary.
240V open delta configuration (stinger leg)(2) • Install Line Reactor.(1)
(1) See Appendix B for accessory ordering information.
(2) For drives applied on an open delta with a middle phase grounded neutral system, the phase opposite the phase that is
tapped in the middle to the neutral or earth is referred to as the “stinger leg,” “high leg,” “red leg,” and so on. This leg should
be identified throughout the system with red or orange tape on the wire at each connection point. The stinger leg should be
connected to the center Phase B on the reactor. See Bulletin 1321-3R Series Line Reactors on page 183 for specific line
reactor part numbers.

General Grounding The drive Safety Ground - (PE) must be connected to system ground.
Requirements Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local
industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground
connections should be periodically checked.

 Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

Ground Fault Monitoring

If a system ground fault monitor (RCD) is to be used, only Type B (adjustable)

devices should be used to avoid nuisance tripping.

Safety Ground - (PE)

This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these
points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor
ground rod or busbar. Grounding points must comply with national and local
industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes.

Network Ground
Connect terminal C1 to a clean earth ground when using a network with a star
topology (EtherNet/IP™) or daisy-chain (RS-485). It is acceptable to ground
both C1 and C2 terminals.

Note: Grounding C1 and C2 helps noise immunity for non-network

applications.

Connect terminal CS1 or CS2 to a clean ground when using a network with a
ring topology (EtherNet/IP).

For more information on EtherNet/IP networks, see Ground Connections for

EtherNet/IP Networks on page 250.

For more information on RS-485 networks, see Network Wiring on page 203.

Motor Ground
The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on the
drive.

Shield Termination - SHLD

Either of the safety ground terminals that are on the power terminal block
provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. The motor cable shield
connected to one of these terminals (drive end) should also be connected to the
motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to connect
the shield to the safety ground terminal. The earthing plate or conduit box
option may be used with a cable clamp for a grounding point for the cable
shield.

When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield should be
grounded at the source end only, not at the drive end.

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 21

Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

RFI Filter Grounding

Using a drive with filter may result in relatively high ground leakage currents.
Therefore, the filter must only be used in installations with grounded AC
supply systems and be permanently installed and solidly grounded (bonded)
to the building power distribution ground. Ensure that the incoming supply
neutral is solidly connected (bonded) to the same building power distribution
ground. Grounding must not rely on flexible cables and should not include any
form of plug or socket that would permit inadvertent disconnection. Some
local codes may require redundant ground connections. The integrity of all
connections should be periodically checked.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers The PowerFlex 520-series drive does not provide branch short circuit
protection. This product should be installed with either input fuses or an input
circuit breaker. National and local industrial safety regulations and/or
electrical codes may determine additional requirements for these installations.

The tables found on pages 23...27 provide recommended AC line input fuse and
circuit breaker information. See Fusing and Circuit Breakers below for UL and
IEC requirements. Sizes that are listed are the recommended sizes based on
40°C (104°F) and the U.S. N.E.C. Other country, state, or local codes may
require different ratings.

Fusing

The recommended fuse types are listed in the tables that are found on pages
23...27. If available current ratings do not match those listed in the tables that
are provided, choose the next higher fuse rating.
• IEC – BS88 (British Standard) Parts 1 & 2(a), EN60269-1, Parts 1 & 2, type
GG or equivalent should be used.
• UL – UL Class CC, T, or J should be used.

Circuit Breakers

The “non-fuse” listings in the tables found on pages 23...27 include inverse time
circuit breakers, instantaneous trip circuit breakers (motor circuit protectors),
and 140M/140MT self-protected combination motor controllers. If one of these
is chosen as the desired protection method, the following requirements apply:
• IEC – Both types of circuit breakers and 140M/140MT self-protected
combination motor controllers are acceptable for IEC installations.
• UL – Only inverse time circuit breakers and the specified 140M/140MT
self-protected combination motor controllers are acceptable for UL
installations.

(a) Typical designations include, but may not be limited to the following;
Parts 1 & 2: AC, AD, BC, BD, CD, DD, ED, EFS, EF, FF, FG, GF, GG, GH.

Bulletin 140M (Self-Protected Combination Controller)/UL489 Circuit Breakers

When using Bulletin 140M or UL489 rated circuit breakers, the guidelines that
are listed below must be followed to meet the NEC requirements for branch
circuit protection.
• Bulletin 140M can be used in single motor applications.
• Bulletin 140M can be used up stream from the drive without the need
for fuses.

Reattach the terminal guard when wiring is complete.

To access the power terminals for Frame A, you must separate the Power and
Control Modules. See Separating the Power and Control Module on page 28 for
instructions.

Power Wiring
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, and so on) 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.
ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard that is 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 helps minimize the
possible shock hazard from “cross coupled” power leads.

Motor Cable Types Acceptable for 100...600 Volt Installations

Various cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For many
installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided it can be separated from
sensitive circuits. As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3 m (1 ft) for
every 10 m (32.8 ft) of length. In all cases, long parallel runs must be avoided.
Do not use cable with an insulation thickness less than 15 mils (0.4 mm/0.015
in.). Do not route more than three sets of motor leads in a single conduit to
minimize “cross talk”. If more than three drive/motor connections per conduit
are required, shielded cable must be used.
• UL installations above 50 °C (122 °F) ambient must use 600V, 90 °C
(194 °F) wire.
• UL installations in 50 °C (122 °F) ambient must use 600V, 75 °C or 90 °C
(167 °F or 194 °F) wire.
• UL installations in 40 °C (104 °F) ambient should use 600V, 75 °C or 90 °C
(167 °F or 194 °F) wire.

32 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

Use copper wire only. Wire gauge requirements and recommendations are
based on 75 °C (167 °F). Do not reduce wire gauge when using higher
temperature wire.

WARNING: The distance between the drive and motor must not exceed the
maximum cable length that is stated in the Motor Cable Length Restrictions
Tables in the Wiring and Grounding for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives
Installation Instructions, publication DRIVES-IN001.

Unshielded

THHN, THWN, or similar wire is acceptable for drive installation in dry

environments provided adequate free air space and/or conduit fill rates limits
are provided. Any wire that is chosen must have a minimum insulation
thickness of 15 mils and should not have large variations in insulation
concentricity.

ATTENTION: Do not use THHN or similarly coated wire in wet areas.

Shielded/Armored Cable

Shielded cable contains all general benefits of multi-conductor cable with the
added benefit of a copper braided shield that can contain much of the noise
that is generated 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. See Reflected Wave in the Wiring and Grounding for Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) AC Drives Installation Instructions,
publication DRIVES-IN001.

Consideration should be given to all 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 four 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
four 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

their performance against the lead length limits supplied is not known.

Reflected Wave Protection

The drive should be installed as close to the motor as possible. Installations

with long motor cables may require the addition of external devices to limit
voltage reflections at the motor (reflected wave phenomena). See Reflected
Wave in the Wiring and Grounding for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC
Drives Installation Instructions, publication DRIVES-IN001.

The reflected wave data applies to all carrier frequencies 2...16 kHz.

For 240V ratings and lower, reflected wave effects do not need to be
considered.

Output Disconnect

The drive is intended to be commanded by control input signals that will start
and stop the motor. A device that routinely disconnects then reapplies output
power to the motor for starting and stopping the motor should not be used. If
it is necessary to disconnect power to the motor with the drive outputting
power, an auxiliary contact should be used to simultaneously disable drive
(Aux Fault or Coast to Stop).

Common Bus/Precharge If drives are used with a disconnect switch to the common DC bus, then an
Notes auxiliary contact on the disconnect must be connected to a digital input of the
drive. The corresponding input (parameter t062, t063, t065...t068 [DigIn
TermBlk xx]) must be set to 30, “Precharge En” This provides the proper
precharge interlock, guarding against possible damage to the drive when
connected to a common DC bus. For more information, see Drives in Common
Bus Configurations, publication DRIVES-AT002.

Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

I/O Wiring Motor Start/Stop Precautions

ATTENTION: A contactor or other device that routinely disconnects and

reapplies the AC line to the drive to start and stop the motor can cause drive
hardware damage. The drive is designed to use control input signals that will
start and stop the motor. If used, the input device must not exceed one
operation per minute or drive damage can occur.
ATTENTION: The drive start/stop control circuitry includes solid-state
components. If hazards due to accidental contact with moving machinery or
unintentional flow of liquid, gas or solids exist, an additional hardwired stop
circuit may be required to remove the AC line to the drive. When the AC line
is removed, there will be a loss of any inherent regenerative braking effect
that might be present - the motor will coast to a stop. An auxiliary braking
method may be required. Alternatively, use the drive’s safety input function.

Important points to remember about I/O wiring:

• Always use copper wire.
• Wire with an insulation rating of 600V or greater is recommended.
• Control and signal wires should be separated from power wires by at
least 0.3 m (1 ft).

IMPORTANT I/O terminals labeled “Common” are not referenced to the safety ground
(PE) terminal and are designed to greatly reduce common mode
interference.

ATTENTION: Driving the 4…20 mA analog input from a voltage source could
cause component damage. Verify proper configuration prior to applying
input signals.

Signal and Control Wire Types

Recommendations are for 50 °C (122 °F) ambient temperature.

75 °C (167 °F) wire must be used for 60 °C (140 °F) ambient temperature.
90 °C (194 °F) wire must be used for 70 °C (158 °F) ambient temperature.

General Considerations
• For CE and UK compliance, drives must satisfy installation
requirements that are related to both EN 61800-5-1 and EN 61800-3
provided in this document.
• PowerFlex 520-series drives must be installed in a pollution degree 1 or
2 environment to be compliant with the CE LV Directive and UK LV
Regulations. See Pollution Degree Ratings According to EN 61800-5-1
on page 51 for descriptions of each pollution degree rating.
• PowerFlex 520-series drives comply with the EMC requirements of EN
61800-3 when installed according to good EMC practices and the
instructions that are provided in this document. However, many
factors can influence the EMC compliance of an entire machine or
installation, and compliance of the drive itself does not ensure
compliance of all applications.

52 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

• PowerFlex 520-series drives are not intended to be used on public low-

voltage networks, which supply domestic premises. Without additional
mitigation, radio frequency interference is expected if used on such a
network. The installer is responsible for taking measures such as a
supplementary line filter and enclosure (see Connections and
Grounding on page 54) to prevent interference, in addition to the
installation requirements of this document.

ATTENTION: NEMA/UL Open Type drives must either be installed in a

supplementary enclosure or equipped with a “NEMA Type 1 Kit” to be
CE and UK compliant with respect to protection against electrical
shock.
• PowerFlex 520-series drives generate harmonic current emissions on
the AC supply system. When operated on a public low-voltage network
it is the responsibility of the installer or user to ensure that applicable
requirements of the distribution network operator have been met.
Consultation with the network operator and Rockwell Automation may
be necessary.
• If the optional NEMA 1 kit is not installed, the drive must be installed in
an enclosure with side openings less than 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) and top
openings less than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) to maintain compliance with the
LV Directive and UK LV Regulations.
• The motor cable should be kept as short as possible to avoid
electromagnetic emission as well as capacitive currents.
• Use of line filters in ungrounded systems is not recommended.
• In CE installations, input power must be a Balanced Wye with Center
Ground configuration for EMC compliance.

Installation Requirements Related to EN 61800-5-1 and the Low Voltage Directive/UK LV

Regulations
• 600V PowerFlex 520-series drives can only be used on a “center
grounded” supply system for altitudes up to and including 2000 m
(6562 ft).
• When used at altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft) up to a maximum of
4800 m (15,748 ft), PowerFlex 520-series drives of voltage classes up to
480V may not be powered from a “corner-earthed” supply system to
maintain compliance with the CE LV Directive and UK LV Regulations.
See Derating Guidelines for High Altitude on page 18.
• PowerFlex 520-series drives produce leakage current in the protective
earthing conductor, which exceeds 3.5 mA AC and/or 10 mA DC. The
minimum size of the protective earthing (grounding) conductor that is
used in the application must comply with local safety regulations for
high protective earthing conductor current equipment.

ATTENTION: PowerFlex 520-series drives produce DC current in the

protective earthing conductor which may reduce the ability of RCDs
(residual current-operated protective devices) or RCMs (residual
current-operated monitoring devices) of type A or AC to provide
protection for other equipment in the installation. Where an RCD or RCM
is used for protection in case of direct or indirect contact, only an RCD or
RCM of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this product.

Installation Requirements Related to EN 61800-3 and the EMC Directive

• The drive must be earthed (grounded) as described in Connections and
Grounding on page 54. See General Grounding Requirements on
page 20 for additional grounding recommendations.

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 53

Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

• Output power wiring to the motor must employ cables with a braided
shield providing 75% or greater coverage, or the cables must be housed
in metal conduit, or equivalent shield must be provided. Continuous
shielding must be provided from the drive enclosure to the motor
enclosure. Both ends of the motor cable shield (or conduit) must
terminate with a low-impedance connection to earth.
Drive Frames A...E: At the drive end of the motor, either:
a. The cable shield must be clamped to a properly installed “EMC Plate”
for the drive. Kit number 25-EMC1-Fx.
or
b. The cable shield or conduit must terminate in a shielded connector
that is installed in an EMC plate, conduit box, or similar.
• At the motor end, the motor cable shield or conduit must terminate in a
shielded connector, which must be properly installed in an earthed
motor wiring box that is attached to the motor. The motor wiring box
cover must be installed and earthed.
• All control (I/O) and signal wiring to the drive must use cable with a
braided shield providing 75% or greater coverage, or the cables must be
housed in metal conduit, or equivalent shielding must be provided.
When shielded cable is used, the cable shield should be terminated with
a low impedance connection to earth at only one end of the cable,
preferably the end where the receiver is located. When the cable shield
is terminated at the drive end, it may be terminated either by using a
shielded connector in conjunction with a conduit plate or conduit box,
or the shield may be clamped to an “EMC plate.”
• Motor cabling must be separated from control and signal wiring
wherever possible.
• Maximum motor cable length must not exceed the maximum length
that is indicated in PowerFlex 520-Series RF Emission Compliance and
Installation Requirements on page 55 for compliance with radio
frequency emission limits for the specific standard and installation
environment.

 Chapter 2 Startup

LCD Display with QuickView QuickView® technology enables text to scroll across the LCD display of the
Technology PowerFlex 520-series drive. This allows you to easily configure parameters,
troubleshoot faults, and view diagnostic items without using a separate device.

Use parameter A556 [Text Scroll] to set the speed at which the text scrolls
across the display. Select 0 “Off” to turn off text scrolling. See Language
Support on page 62 for the languages supported by the PowerFlex 520-series
drive.

Using the USB Port The PowerFlex 520-series drive has a USB port that connects to a PC for
upgrading drive firmware or uploading/downloading a parameter
configuration.

IMPORTANT PowerFlex 525 with firmware revision 7.001 and later supports the USB
application with Windows® 8 and 10.

MainsFree Programming

The MainsFree™ programming feature allows you to quickly configure your

PowerFlex 520-series drive without having to power up the control module or
install additional software. Simply connect the control module to your PC with
a USB Type B cable and you can download a parameter configuration to your
drive. You can also easily upgrade your drive with the latest firmware.

USB Type B cable

Connect to PC Connect to Control Module

When connected, the drive appears on the PC and contains two files:
• [Link]
This file contains links to relevant product documentation and software
downloads.
• [Link]
This file is an application to flash upgrade firmware or upload/download
a parameter configuration.

It is not possible to delete these files or add more to the drive.

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 65

Chapter 2 Startup

Double-click the [Link] file to launch the USB utility application. The
main menu is displayed. Follow the program instructions to upgrade the
firmware or upload/download configuration data.

IMPORTANT Make sure that your PC is powered by an AC power outlet or has a fully
charged battery before starting any operation. This prevents the
operation from terminating before completion due to insufficient power.

Limitation in Downloading .pf5 Configuration Files with the USB Utility Application

Before downloading a .pf5 configuration file using the USB utility application,
parameter C169 [MultiDrv Sel] in the destination drive must match the
incoming configuration file. If it does not, set the parameter manually to
match and then cycle drive power. Also, the drive type of the .pf5 file must
match the drive.

This means you cannot apply a multi-drive configuration using the USB utility
application to a drive in single mode (parameter C169 [MultiDrv Sel] set to 0
“Disabled”), or apply a single mode configuration to a drive in multi-drive
mode.

Using Drive Startup in CCW To use the PowerFlex 525 Startup Wizard in Connected Components
or Logix Designer Workbench software to automatically configure the parameters, make sure
you have installed the following:
Application
• PowerFlex 525 drive firmware revision 5.001 or later.
• PowerFlex 525 drive Add-on Profile 5.07 or later.
• Latest drive database for Connected Components Workbench software.

For instructions, see Using Drive Startup in CCW or Logix Designer

Application on page 66.

Alternatively, you can manually configure the parameters by using the drive
keypad. For instructions, see Manual Configuration Using Drive Keypad on
page 258.

Programming and Parameters

This chapter provides a complete listing and description of the PowerFlex 520-
series drive parameters. Parameters are programmed (viewed/edited) using
either the drive’s built-in keypad, RSLogix 5000 software version 17.0 or later,
Studio 5000 Logix Designer application version 21.0 or later, or Connected
Components Workbench software version 5.0 or later. The Connected
Components Workbench software can be used offline (through USB) to upload
parameter configurations to the drive or online (through Ethernet
connection).

Limited functionality is also available when using the Connected Components

Workbench software online (through DSI and serial converter module), a
legacy external HIM, or legacy software online (DriveTools™ SP). When using
these methods, the parameter list can only be displayed linearly, and there is
no access to communications option card programming.

About Parameters To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, drive parameters may have to
be set. Three types of parameters exist:
• ENUM
ENUM parameters allow a selection from two or more items. Each item
is represented by a number.
• Numeric Parameters
These parameters have a single numerical value (0.1V).
• Bit Parameters
Bit parameters have five individual digits that are associated with

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 69

Chapter 3 Programming and Parameters

features or conditions. If the digit is 0, the feature is off or the condition

is false. If the digit is 1, the feature is on or the condition is true.

Some parameters are marked as follows.

= Stop drive before changing this parameter.

32 = 32-bit parameter.

PF 525 = Parameter is specific to PowerFlex 525 drives only.

32-bit Parameters

Parameters marked 32-bit will have two parameter numbers when using RS-
485 communications and programming software. For example, parameters
b010 [Process Display] and b011 [Process Fract] are scaled and displayed as
follows.
• P043 [Minimum Freq] = 0 Hz
• P044 [Maximum Freq] = 60 Hz
• A481 [Process Display Lo] = 0
• A482 [Process Display Hi] = 10

Using the formula

([Process Disp Hi] - [Process Disp Lo]) x ([Output Freq] - [Minimum Freqp])
Scaled Process Value (PV) =
[Maximum Freq] - [Minimum Freq]

when the drive is running at 10 Hz, the Process Value is 1.66.

On the drive LCD display, only parameter b010 [Process Display] is shown.

In Connected Components Workbench software, parameter b010 [Process

Display] and b011 [Process Fract] are shown separately.

Basic Program Group (continued)

P040 [Autotune] Related Parameters: P034, P039, A496, A497
Stop drive before changing this parameter.
Enables a static (not spinning) or dynamic (motor spinning) autotune to automatically set the motor parameters. Set the parameter value to a one or two, then issue a valid
“Start” command to begin the routine. After the routine is complete the parameter resets to a zero. A failure (such as if a motor is not connected) results in an Autotune
Fault.
It is recommended to perform a full rotate tune when using VVC mode.

IMPORTANT All motor parameters in the Basic Program group must be set before running the routine. If a start command is not
given (or a stop command is given) within 30 s, the parameter automatically returns to a zero and an Autotune Fault
occurs.

ATTENTION: Rotation of the motor in an undesired direction can occur during this procedure. To guard against possible
injury and/or equipment damage, it is recommended that the motor be disconnected from the load before proceeding.

0 “Ready/Idle” (Default)
1 “Static Tune” A temporary command that initiates a non-rotational motor stator resistance test for the best possible automatic setting
of A496 [IR Voltage Drop]. A start command is required following initiation of this setting. The parameter returns to 0
“Ready/Idle” following the test, at which time another start transition is required to operate the drive in normal mode.
Used when motor cannot be uncoupled from the load.
Options
2 “Rotate Tune” A temporary command that initiates a “Static Tune” followed by a rotational test for the best possible automatic setting of
A497 [Flux Current Ref]. A start command is required following initiation of this setting. The parameter returns to 0
“Ready/Idle” following the test, at which time another start transition is required to operate the drive in normal mode.
Important: Used when motor is uncoupled from the load. Results may not be valid if a load is coupled to the motor during
this procedure.
If [P039 = 5], it is the same with “Static Tune”.

20mA Lo] and t096 [Anlg In4-20mA Hi].
28 “EM Brk Rlse” If EM brake function is enabled, this input releases the brake. See t086 [EM Brk Off Delay] for more information.

ATTENTION: If a hazard of injury due to movement of equipment or material

exists, an auxiliary mechanical braking device must be used.

29 “Acc/Dec Sel3”(1) If active, determines which Accel/Decel time is used for all ramp rates except jog.

29 11
0 0 Acc/Dec 1
0 1 Acc/Dec 2
1 0 Acc/Dec 3
1 1 Acc/Dec 4

30 “Precharge En” Forces drive into precharge state. Typically controlled by auxiliary contact on the disconnect at the DC input to the
drive. If this input is assigned, it must be energized for the precharge relay to close and for the drive to run. If it is de-
energized, the pre-charge relay opens and the drive coasts to a stop.
31 “Inertia Dcel” Forces drive into Inertia ride-through state. The drive attempts to regulate the DC bus at the current level.
32 “Sync Enable” Must be used to hold the existing frequency when Sync Time is set to enable speed synchronization. When this input is
released the drive accelerates to the commanded frequency in A571 [Sync Time].
33 “Traverse Dis” When an input is programmed the traverse function is disabled while this input is active. See A567 [Max Traverse].
Options 34 “Home Limit”(2) In Positioning mode, indicates that the drive is at the home position. See Appendix E for more information on
Positioning.
35 “Find Home”(2) In Positioning mode, causes the drive to return to the Home position when a Start command is issued.
Uses A562 [Find Home Freq] and A563 [Find Home Dir] until the “Home Limit” input is activated. If it passes this point, it
then runs in the reverse direction at 1/10th the frequency of [Find Home Freq] until the “Home Limit” is activated again.
As long as this input is active, any start command causes the drive to enter the homing routine. Only functions if in
Positioning mode. Once the Find Home routine has finished, the drive stops. See Appendix E for more information on
Positioning.
36 “Hold Step”(2) In Positioning mode, overrides other inputs and causes the drive to remain at its current step (running at zero speed
once it reaches its position) until released.
While in “Hold”, the drive ignores any input command that would normally result in a move to a new step. Timers
continue to run. Therefore, when the Hold is removed, the drive must see any required digital inputs transition (even if
they already transitioned during the hold), but it does not reset any timer. See Appendix E for more information on
Positioning.
37 “Pos Redefine”(2) In Positioning mode, resets the home position to the current position of the machine. See Appendix E for more
information on Positioning.
38 “Force DC” If the drive is not running, causes the drive to apply a DC Holding current (A435 [DC Brake Level], ignoring A434 [DC
Brake Time]) while the input is applied.
39 “Damper Input” When active, drive is allowed to run normally.
When inactive, drive is forced into sleep mode and is prevented from accelerating to command speed.
40 “Purge”(1) Starts the drive at A433 [Purge Frequency] regardless of the selected control source. Supersedes the keypad Control
function and any other control command to take control of the drive. Purge can occur, and is operational, at any time
whether the drive is running or stopped regardless of the selected logic source selection. If a valid stop (other than from
comms or SW enable) is present, the drive will not start on the purge input transition.

ATTENTION: If a hazard of injury due to movement of equipment or material

exists, an auxiliary mechanical braking device must be used.

41 “Freeze-Fire” When inactive, causes an immediate F094 “Function Loss” fault. Use to safely bypass the drive with an external
switching device.
42 “SW Enable” Works like an interlock that has to be active for the drive to run.

Parameters L180...L187 are only active if P047, P049, or P051 [Speed Referencex] is set to 13 “Step Logic” or 16 “Positioning”. These parameters can be used to create a
custom profile of frequency commands. Each “step” can be based on time, status of a Logic input or a combination of time and the status of a Logic input.
Digits 1...4 for each [Stp Logic x] parameter must be programmed according to the desired profile. A Logic input is established by setting a digital input, parameters t062,
t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk xx] to 24 “Logic In 1” and/or 25 “Logic In 2” or by using Bits 6 and 7 of A560 [Enh Control Word].
A time interval between steps can be programmed using parameters L190...L197 [Stp Logic Time x]. See the table below for related parameters.
The speed for any step is programmed using parameters A410...A417 [Preset Freq x].

How StepLogic Works

The StepLogic sequence begins with a valid start command. A normal sequence always begins with L180 [Stp Logic 0].
Digit 1: Logic for next step
This digit defines the logic for the next step. When the condition is met the program advances to the next step. Step 0 follows Step 7. Example: Digit 1 is set to 3. When
“Logic In 2” becomes active, the program advances to the next step.
Digit 2: Logic to jump to a different step
For all settings other than F, when the condition is met, the program overrides Digit 0 and jumps to the step defined by Digit 3.
Digit 3: Different step to jump
When the condition for Digit 2 is met, this digit setting determines the next step or to end the program.
Digit 4: Step settings
This digit defines additional characteristics of each step.
Any StepLogic parameter can be programmed to control a relay or opto output, but you cannot control different outputs based on the condition of different StepLogic
commands.

Sets the DC bus voltage threshold for Dynamic Brake operation. If DC bus voltage rises above this level, Dynamic Brake turns on. Lower values make the dynamic braking
function more responsive but may result in nuisance Dynamic Brake activation (IGBT can modulate continuously).

ATTENTION: Equipment damage may result if this parameter is set to a value that causes the dynamic braking resistor to
dissipate excessive power. Parameter settings less than 100% should be carefully evaluated to ensure that the Dynamic
Brake resistor's wattage rating is not exceeded. In general, values less than 90% are not needed. This parameter's setting

0 “Home Limit” In Positioning mode, this indicates that the drive is at the home position.
1 “Find Home” When set, the next start command causes the drive to find home. Set this bit to 0 after completing the homing routine.
2 “Hold Step” In Positioning mode, this input overrides other inputs and causes the drive to remain at its current step (running at zero
speed once it reaches its position) until released.
3 “Pos Redefine” In Positioning mode, this input resets the home position to the current position of the machine. Set this bit to 0 after
completing the homing routine.
4 “Sync Enable” Must be used to hold the existing frequency when Sync Time is set to enable speed synchronization. When this bit is reset
Digits to zero the drive accelerates to the new commanded frequency based on A571 [Sync Time] setting.

Chapter 3 Programming and Parameters

AppView Parameter Groups AppView parameter groups provide a simple starting point for using the
PowerFlex 520-series drives by grouping certain commonly used parameters
based on different types of applications. Use these parameter groups to quickly
and easily set up the PowerFlex 520-series drive for your application.

AppView parameter groups are available for the following applications:

• Conveyor
• Mixer
• Compressor
• Centrifugal Pump
• Blower/Fan
• Extruder
• Positioning (PowerFlex 525 only)
• Textile/Fiber

You cannot add or remove parameters to or from the AppView parameter

groups. If you require quick access to additional parameters to what is already
included in the different AppView parameter groups, use the CustomView
parameter group instead.

The parameters in the AppView parameter groups can be quickly added to the
CustomView parameter group by doing the following:

Step Keys Example Displays

Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to scroll to or

1. an AppView group (G1...G8).
FWD

Press Enter or Sel to enter a group. The

2. rightmost digit of the last viewed parameter or Sel FWD
in that group flashes.

Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to scroll to or

3. the command G1->GC.
FWD

Press Enter or Sel to add all parameters in

4. this AppView group to the CustomView group. or Sel
The LCD display shows a confirmation.

150 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Chapter 3 Programming and Parameters

CustomView Parameter CustomView allows you to quickly access only the parameters that are needed
Group for your application by storing them in a custom parameter group. Add your
frequently used parameters to this group, then hide all other parameters with
A552 [Program Lock] to simplify your drive configuration process.

Up to 100 parameters can be stored in the CustomView parameter group. You

can copy one entire AppView parameter group to the CustomView parameter
group as shown on page 150 or add individual parameters as show below.

Step Keys Example Displays

Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to scroll to or

1. the CustomView group (GC).
FWD

Press Enter to view the parameters that can

2. FWD
be added to the CustomView group.

Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to scroll or

3. through the list of parameters.
FWD

PROGRAM

Press Enter to add the parameter to the

4. CustomView group. The LCD display shows a
confirmation.

To delete parameters from the CustomView parameter group:

Step Keys Example Displays

Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to scroll to or

1. the CustomView group (GC).
FWD

Press Enter to view the parameters that are

2. in the CustomView group.
FWD

Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to scroll to or

3. the command GC---.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides information to guide you in troubleshooting the

PowerFlex 520-series drive. Included is a listing and description of drive faults
with possible solutions, when applicable.

Topic Page
Drive Status 157
Faults 157
Fault Descriptions 159
Common Symptoms and Corrective Actions 162

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Drive does not

contain user-serviceable components. Do not disassemble drive chassis.

Drive Status The condition or state of your drive is constantly monitored. Any changes are
indicated through the integral LCD display.

See Display and Control Keys on page 59 for information on drive status
indicators and controls.

Faults A fault is a condition that stops the drive. There are two fault types.

Fault Types
Type Fault Description
When this type of fault occurs, and A541 [Auto Rstrt Tries] is set to a value greater
than “0,” a user-configurable timer, A542 [Auto Rstrt Delay], begins. When the timer
1 Auto-Reset/Run reaches zero, the drive attempts to automatically reset the fault. If the condition that
caused the fault is no longer present, the fault is reset and the drive is restarted.
This type of fault may require drive or motor repair, or is caused by wiring or

2. Set A542 [Auto Rstrt Delay] to “0”.

ATTENTION: Equipment damage and/or personal injury may result if these

parameters are used in an inappropriate application. Do not use this
function without considering applicable local, national, and international
codes, standards, regulations or industry guidelines.

Auto Restart (Reset/Run)

The Auto Restart feature provides the ability for the drive to automatically
perform a fault reset followed by a start attempt without user or application
intervention. This allows remote or “unattended” operation. Only certain
faults are allowed to be reset. Certain faults (Type 2) that indicate possible
drive component malfunction are not resettable. Fault types are listed in the
table Fault Types on page 157. See Fault Descriptions on page 159 for more
information.

Use caution when enabling this feature, since the drive attempts to issue its
own start command based on user selected programming.

Input Current Scaling (Optional)

You can use a higher drive rating by scaling the input current based on the
output current that is required for your application. You can use a lower input
current rating based on the motor FLA rating. See the PowerFlex 520-Series
Input Current Rating Scaled by the Motor FLA on page 171 table for more
information.

Use the motor FLA rating in columns 1…4 and check the corresponding input
rating in columns A…D. For example when using a 25A-V1P6N104 drive, if the
motor has an FLA rating of 1.6, the input rating is 6.4 amps.

PowerFlex 520-series drive’s RJ45 socket must not be connected because they
contain power, etc. for other Rockwell Automation peripheral devices.

Wiring terminations on the master controller will vary depending on the

master controller used and “TxRxD+” and “TxRxD-” are shown for illustration
purposes only. Refer to the master controller’s user manual for network
terminations. Note that there is no standard for the “+” and “-” wires, and
consequently Modbus device manufacturers interpret them differently. If you
have problems with initially establishing communications, try swapping the
two network wires at the master controller.

Standard RS-485 wiring practices apply.

• Termination resistors need to be applied at each end of the network
cable.
• RS-485 repeaters may need to be used for long cable runs, or if greater
than 32 nodes are needed on the network.
• Network wiring should be separated from power wires by at least
0.3 meters (1 foot).
• Network wiring should only cross power wires at a right angle.

I/O Terminal C1 (RJ45 Shield) for the Ethernet and DSI network cables on the
PowerFlex 520-series drive must also be connected to PE ground (there are two
PE terminals on the drive). The shield for the network cables should be
connected to PE ground at one end only.

I/O Terminal C2 (Comm Common) is internally tied to Network Common for

the network signals, and NOT to RJ45 Shield. Tying I/O Terminal C2 to PE
ground may improve noise immunity in some applications.

See I/O Control Terminal Designations on page 39 and page 42 for more
information.

Velocity StepLogic, Basic Logic, and Timer/

Counter Functions

Four PowerFlex 520-series logic functions provide the capability to program

simple logic functions without a separate controller.
• Velocity StepLogic Function (specific to PowerFlex 525 drives only)

Steps through up to eight preset speeds based on programmed logic.

Programmed logic can include conditions that must be met from
digital inputs that are programmed as “Logic In 1” and “Logic In 2”
before stepping from one preset speed to the next. A timer is available
for each of the eight steps and is used to program a time delay before
stepping from one preset speed to the next. The status of a digital
output can also be controlled based on the step being executed.
• Basic Logic Function (specific to PowerFlex 525 drives only)

Up to two digital inputs can be programmed as “Logic In 1” and/or

“Logic In 2”. A digital output can be programmed to change state based
on the condition of one or both inputs based on basic logic functions
such as AND, OR, NOR. The basic logic functions can be used with or
without StepLogic.
• Timer Function

A digital input can be programmed for “Timer Start”. A digital output

can be programmed as a “Timer Out” with an output level that is
programmed to the desired time. When the timer reaches the time
that is programmed into the output level the output changes state. The
timer can be reset with a digital input programmed as “Reset Timer”.
• Counter Function

A digital input can be programmed for “Counter In”. A digital output

can be programmed as “Counter Out” with an output level that is
programmed to the desired number of counts. When the counter
reaches the count that is programmed into the output level the output
changes state. The counter can be reset with a digital input
programmed as “Reset Counter”.

Use the Wizard in Connected Components Workbench software to

simplify setup instead of manually configuring the parameters.

Appendix D Velocity StepLogic, Basic Logic, and Timer/Counter Functions

Velocity StepLogic Using

Timed Steps IMPORTANT This function is specific to PowerFlex 525 drives only.

To activate this function, set one of the three speed reference sources,
parameter P047, P049, or P051[Speed Referencex] to 13 “Step Logic” and
activate that speed reference source. Three parameters are used to configure
the logic, speed reference, and time for each step.
• Logic is defined using parameters L180...L187 [Stp Logic x].
• Preset Speeds are set with parameters A410...A417 [Preset Freq 0...7].
• Time of operation for each step is set with parameters L190...L197 [Stp
Logic Time x].

The direction of motor rotation can be forward or reverse.

Velocity StepLogic Sequence

• Sequence begins with a valid start command.
• A normal sequence begins with Step 0 and transition to the next step
when the corresponding StepLogic time has expired.
• Step 7 is followed by Step 0.
• Sequence repeats until a stop is issued or a fault condition occurs.

Velocity StepLogic Using

Basic Logic Functions IMPORTANT This function is specific to PowerFlex 525 drives only.

Digital input and digital output parameters can be configured to use logic to
transition to the next step. Logic In 1 and Logic In 2 are defined by
programming parameters t062...t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk xx] to 24
“Logic In 1” or 25 “Logic In 2”.

Example
• Run at Step 0.
• Transition to Step 1 when Logic In 1 is true.
Logic senses the edge of Logic In 1 when it transitions from off to on.
Logic In 1 is not required to remain “on”.
• Transition to Step 2 when both Logic In 1 and Logic In 2 are true.
The drive senses the level of both Logic In 1 and Logic In 2 and transitions
to Step 2 when both are on.

212 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Appendix D Velocity StepLogic, Basic Logic, and Timer/Counter Functions

• Transition to Step 3 when Logic In 2 returns to a false or off state.

Inputs are not required to remain in the “on” condition except under the
logic conditions that are used for the transition from Step 2 to Step 3.
Start Step 0 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Time

The step time value and the basic logic may be used together to satisfy machine
conditions. For instance, the step may need to run for a minimum time period
and then use the basic logic to trigger a transition to the next step.

Timer Function Digital inputs and outputs control the timer function and are configured with
parameters t062...t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk xx] set to 19 “Timer Start”
and 21 “Reset Timer”.

Digital outputs (relay and opto type) define a preset level and indicate when
the level is reached. Level parameters t077 [Relay Out1 Level], t082[Relay Out2
Level], t070 [Opto Out1 Level] and t073 [Opto Out2 Level] are used to set the
desired time in seconds.

Parameters t076 [Relay Out1 Sel], t081 [Relay Out2 Sel], t069 [Opto Out1 Sel]
and t072 [Opto Out2 Sel] are set to 25 “Timer Out” and causes the output to
change state when the preset level is reached.

Example
• Drive starts up and accelerates to 30 Hz.
• After 30 Hz has been maintained for 20 seconds, a 4…20 mA analog input
becomes the reference signal for speed control.
• The timer function is used to select a preset speed with a 20 second
runtime that overrides the speed reference while the digital input is
active.
• Parameters are set to the following options:
- P047 [Speed Reference1] = 6 “4-20mA Input”
- P049 [Speed Reference2] = 7 “Preset Freq”
- t062 [DigIn TermBlk 02] = 1 “Speed Ref 2”

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 213

Appendix D Velocity StepLogic, Basic Logic, and Timer/Counter Functions

- t063 [DigIn TermBlk 03] = 19 “Timer Start”

- t076 [Relay Out1 Sel] = 25 “Timer Out”
- t077 [Relay Out1 Level] = 20.0 seconds
- A411 [Preset Freq 1] = 30.0 Hz
• The control terminal block is wired such that a start command also
triggers the timer start.
• The relay output is wired to I/O Terminal 02 (DigIn TermBlk 02) so that it
forces the input on when the timer starts.
• After the timer is complete, the output is turned off releasing the preset
speed command. The drive defaults to following the analog input
reference as programmed.

Note that a “Reset Timer” input is not required for this example since the
“Timer Start” input both clears and starts the timer.

Counter Function Digital inputs and outputs control the counter function and are configured
with parameters t062...t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk xx] set to 20 “Counter
In” and 22 “Reset Countr”.

Digital outputs (relay and opto type) define a preset level and indicate when
the level is reached. Level parameters t077 [Relay Out1 Level], t082[Relay Out2
Level], t070 [Opto Out1 Level] and t073 [Opto Out2 Level] are used to set the
desired count value.

Parameters t076 [Relay Out1 Sel], t081 [Relay Out2 Sel], t069 [Opto Out1 Sel]
and t072 [Opto Out2 Sel] are set to 26 “Counter Out” which causes the output to
change state when the level is reached.

Example
• A photo eye is used to count packages on a conveyor line.
• An accumulator holds the packages until 5 are collected.
• A diverter arm redirects the group of five packages to a bundling area.
• The diverter arm returns to its original position and triggers a limit
switch that resets the counter.
• Parameters are set to the following options:
- t065 [DigIn TermBlk 05] = 20 “Counter In”
- t066 [DigIn TermBlk 06] = 22 “Reset Countr”
- t076 [Relay Out1 Sel] = 26 “Counter Out”

Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position

StepLogic Application

Encoder and Pulse Train The PowerFlex 520-series drives include a pulse train input that is built into the
Usage terminal block. PowerFlex 525 drives also support an optional encoder card.
The pulse train and encoder can be used for many of the same functions, but
the pulse train supports up to 100 kHz at 24V, and uses the drive built-in
terminal block. The encoder supports up to 250 kHz dual channel at 5, 12V, or
24V and requires the optional encoder board to be installed. When A535 [Motor
Fdbk Type] is set to a value other than zero, the drive is set to use an encoder or
pulse train. The drive uses the encoder or pulse train in several ways
depending on the settings of other parameters. The drive uses the encoder or
pulse train as shown below (listed in order of priority):
1. If enabled by P047, P049, or P051 [Speed Referencex], the encoder or
pulse train is used directly as a commanded speed (normally used with a
pulse train) or as a position reference (normally used with a quadrature
encoder).
2. If not enabled by the Speed Reference parameters, the encoder or pulse
train can be used with the PID function if enabled by A459 or A471 [PID x
Ref Sel], or A460 or A472 [PID x Fdback Sel].
3. If not enabled by the Speed Reference or PID function parameters, the
encoder or pulse train can be used with A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] for direct
feedback and trim of the speed command. The normal slip compensation
is not used in this case. Instead the drive uses the encoder or pulse train
to determine actual output frequency and adjust the output frequency to
match the command. Parameters A538 [Ki Speed Loop] and A539 [Kp
Speed Loop] are used in this control loop. The primary benefit of this
mode is increased speed accuracy when compared to open-loop slip
compensation. It does not provide speed bandwidth improvement.

IMPORTANT The encoder usage, and position StepLogic application that is covered
in this chapter is specific to PowerFlex 525 drives only.

Encoder Interface

The incremental encoder option card can source 5 volt or 12 volt power and
accept 5, 12, or 24 volts single ended or differential inputs. See Appendix B for
ordering information.

IMPORTANT Only the 25-ENC-1 Encoder works properly in the PowerFlex 525 drive.
Installing an incorrect encoder card, such as the 25-ENC-2 for
PowerFlex 527 drives causes damage to the PowerFlex 525 drive.

 Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application

Wiring Notes The encoder option card can supply 5V or 12V power (250 mA maximum) for an
encoder. Be sure that the DIP switch is set properly for the encoder. In general,
12V provides higher noise immunity.

The encoder can handle 5V, 12V, or 24V inputs, but the pulse train can handle
only 24V inputs. The inputs automatically adjust to the voltage applied and no
additional drive adjustment is necessary. If a single-channel input is used, it
must be wired between the A (signal) and A- (signal common) channels.

IMPORTANT A quadrature encoder provides rotor speed and direction. Therefore,

the encoder must be wired such that the forward direction matches the
motor forward direction. If the drive is reading encoder speed but the
position regulator or other encoder function is not working properly,
remove power to the drive, then do one of the following:
• Swap the A and A (NOT) encoder channels.
• Swap the B and B (NOT) encoder channels.
• Swap any two motor leads.
Drives will fault when an encoder is incorrectly wired and A535 [Motor
Fdbk Type] is set to 5 “Quad Check”.

Determine Encoder Pulse Use the following formula to determine the encoder pulse per revolution (PPR)
Per Revolution (PPR) specification based on the speed resolution.
Specification Based on 1
x pole pairs
Speed Resolution Speed resolution (Hz) = encoder pulse number x 4

10-3 sec

The operating speed range depends on the motor control mode

selected (SVC or VVC). For more information, see Performance with
Encoder on page 168.

Example 1

To determine the PPR for quadrature encoder, to achieve 0.06 Hz of speed

resolution on a 4-pole motor (2-pole pair) with a base speed of 60 Hz:
1
x2
0.06 Hz = encoder pulse number x 4

10-3 sec
= ~8333 pulse

Therefore, select 8333 PPR or higher for the quadrature encoder to achieve the
desired speed resolution of 0.06 Hz.

Example 2

To determine the speed resolution, using a 1024 PPR quadrature incremental

encoder on a 4-pole (2-pole pair) motor:
1
x2
Speed resolution (Hz) = 1024 x 4

10-3 sec
= 0.49 Hz

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 221

Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application

Therefore, using a 1024 PPR quadrature encoder gives a speed resolution of

0.49 Hz.

Positioning Overview The PowerFlex 525 drive includes a simple position regulator, which can be
used without the need for multiple limit switches or photo-eyes. This can be
used as a standalone controller for simple applications (up to eight positions)
or in conjunction with a controller for more flexibility.

Note that this is not intended to replace high-end servo controllers or any
application that needs high bandwidth or very high torque at low speeds.

Common Guidelines for All The position regulator can be configured for operation appropriate for a
Applications variety of applications. Certain parameters need to be adjusted in all cases.

P047 [Speed Reference1] must be set to 16 “Positioning”.

A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] must be set to the match the feedback device.
Positioning mode must use A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] option 4.

A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] Options

0 “None” indicates that no encoder is used. This cannot be used for

positioning.

1 “Pulse Train” is a single channel input, no direction, speed feedback

only. This should not be used for positioning. The Single Channel
selection is similar to a Pulse Train, but uses the standard encoder
scaling parameters.

2 “Single Chan” is a single channel input, no direction, speed feedback

only. This should not be used for positioning. Single channel uses the
standard encoder scaling parameters.

3 “Single Check” is a single channel input with encoder signal loss

detection. The drive faults if it detects that the input pulses do not
match the expected motor speed. This should not be used for
positioning.

4 “Quadrature” is a dual channel encoder input with direction and

speed from the encoder. This may be used for positioning control.

5 “Quad Check” is a dual channel encoder with encoder signal loss

detection. The drive faults if it detects that the encoder speed does not
match the expected motor speed.

A544 [Reverse Disable] should be set to 0 “Rev Enabled” to allow bidirectional

movement necessary for position control.

P039 [Torque Perf Mode] default setting is 1 “SVC”. However, any mode can be
used to improve the low speed torque for positioning applications. For best

222 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application

results, tune the application first. The autotune routine can be completed to
further improve the drive-motor performance.

A550 [Bus Reg Enable] default setting is 1 “Enabled”. If the deceleration time is
too short, the drive may overshoot the desired position. For best results, a
longer deceleration time may be necessary. A550 [Bus Reg Enable] can be
disabled to provide precise stopping movements, but the deceleration time
must be manually tuned so that it is long enough to avoid F005 “OverVoltage”
faults.

A437 [DB Resistor Sel] default setting is 0 “Disabled”. If improved deceleration

performance is required a Dynamic Brake resistor can be used. If used, this
parameter should be set to the appropriate setting for the resistor selected.

P035 [Motor NP Poles] must be set to match the number of motor poles on the
motor driven by the PowerFlex 520-series drive.

A536 [Encoder PPR] must be set to match the number of pulses per revolution
of the encoder used (that is, 1024 PPR Encoder).

A559 [Counts Per Unit] sets the number of encoder counts that will be used to
define one position unit. This allows the encoder positions to be defined in
terms of units important to the application. For example, if 1 cm of travel on a
conveyor belt requires 0.75 turns of the motor, the motor encoder is 1024 PPR,
and the Motor Feedback type is set to Quadrature, then this parameter would
need to be set to (4 x 1024 x 0.75) = 3072 counts for 1 cm of travel. Then all other
positions could be set up in units of “cm”.

A564 [Encoder Pos Tol] indicates the desired position tolerance for the system.
This determines how close the drive must be to the commanded position
before the drive indicates “At Home” or “At Position” in units of raw encoder
pulses. This has no effect on the actual positioning control of the motor.

Positioning Operation Parameter A558 [Positioning Mode] must be set to properly match the desired
operation of the positioning function.

A558 [Positioning Mode] Options

0 “Time Steps” uses StepLogic times. This mode ignores the StepLogic
settings and moves through the steps (Step 0 to Step 7 and back to Step
0) based on the times programmed into L190...L197 [Stp Logic Time x].
This can be used when the desired position is based only on time. In
addition, this mode only accepts absolute positions in a positive
direction from “home”. This option provides an easy way to implement
a simple positioning program or to test the basic positioning setup.
For additional flexibility one of the other settings should be used.

1 “Preset Input” directly commands movement to any step based on

the status of the digital inputs programmed for “Preset Freq”. This
setting ignores the StepLogic Commands settings and instead the
drive moves directly to whatever step is currently commanded by
A410...A425 [Preset Freq x] and L200...L214 [Step Units x]. This is useful

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 223

Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application

when an application needs direct access to any position step based on

discrete inputs. This mode moves in the forward direction from Home
and is an absolute move.

IMPORTANT Advanced StepLogic options such as incremental move are not

available in this mode.

2 “StepLogic” provides a highly flexible mode of operation. This can be

used to move through the steps (Step 0 to Step 7 and back to Step 0) or
can jump to a different step at any time based on time or the status of
digital inputs or communication commands. In this mode, the drive
always starts at Step 0 of the StepLogic profile.

3 “Preset StpL” is identical to 2 “StepLogic” except the drive uses the

current status of the Preset Inputs to determine which StepLogic step
to begin. This only affects the initial step. After start, the drive will
move through the steps in the same manner as if setting 2 was
selected.

4 “StpLogic-Lst” is identical to 2 “StepLogic” except the drive uses the

step prior to its last stop command to determine which StepLogic step
to begin. This only affects the initial step. After start, the drive will
move through the steps in the same manner as if setting 2 was
selected. This allows a process to be stopped and then restarted at the
position where it stopped.

In all position modes, the following parameters control the characteristics at

each step:

L200, L202, L204, L206, L208, L210, L212 and L214 [Step Units x] are the
number value to the left of the decimal (whole number) of the eight positions
desired for an application, beginning with Step 0 (L200) and continuing with
each step until Step 7 (L214). For example, enter 2 into this parameter if you
would like a commanded position of 2.77.

L201, L203, L205, L207, L209, L211, L213, and L215 [Step Units F x] are the
number value to the right of the decimal (the portion less than 1) of the eight
positions desired for an application, beginning with Step 0 (L201) and
continuing with each step until Step 7 (L215). For example, enter 0.77 into this
parameter if you would like a commanded position of 2.77.

A410...A417 [Preset Freq x] are the parameters that define the maximum
frequency that the drive runs at during the corresponding step. For example, if

224 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application

[Preset Freq 2] is set to 40 Hz, the drive accelerates to 40 Hz maximum when

moving to Position 2.

Frequency Source Step Source Position Source

A410 [Preset Freq 0] L180 [Stp Logic 0] L200 [Step Units 0]
A411 [Preset Freq 1] L181 [Stp Logic 1] L202 [Step Units 1]
A412 [Preset Freq 2] L182 [Stp Logic 2] L204 [Step Units 2]
A413 [Preset Freq 3] L183 [Stp Logic 3] L206 [Step Units 3]
A414 [Preset Freq 4] L184 [Stp Logic 4] L208 [Step Units 4]
A415 [Preset Freq 5] L185 [Stp Logic 5] L210 [Step Units 5]
A416 [Preset Freq 6] L186 [Stp Logic 6] L212 [Step Units 6]
A417 [Preset Freq 7] L187 [Stp Logic 7] L214 [Step Units 7]

IMPORTANT The default value for A410 [Preset Freq 0] is 0.00 Hz. This value must be
changed or the drive will not be able to move during Step 0.

L190...L197 [Stp Logic Time x] are the parameters that define the time that the
drive remains in each corresponding step if that step is time-based. For
example, if L192 [Stp Logic Time 2] is set to 5.0 seconds and that step is time-
based, the drive remains in Step 2 for 5.0 seconds. Note that this is the total
time that is needed to accelerate, run, and decelerate to that position.

L180...L187 [Stp Logic x] are the parameters that allow additional flexibility and
control various aspects of each step when a positioning mode is selected that
utilizes the StepLogic functions. Note that in Positioning mode these
parameters have a different function than when used for normal velocity
StepLogic. Each of the four digits controls one aspect of the position step. The
following is a listing of the available settings for each digit:

Use the Wizard in Connected Components Workbench software to

simplify setup instead of manually configuring the parameters.

Note: Incremental move commands cause the drive to move the amount
specified based on the current position. Absolute commands are always with
reference to “Home”.

A565 [Pos Reg Filter] provides a low pass filter at the input of the position
regulator.

A566 [Pos Reg Gain] is a single adjustment for increasing or decreasing the
responsiveness of the position regulator. For faster response, the filter should
be reduced and/or the gain should be increased. For smoother response with
less overshoot, the filter should be increased and/or the gain should be
reduced. In general, the gain has a larger effect on most systems than the filter.

Homing Routine This drive supports incremental encoders only. Therefore, when the drive
powers up it resets the current position to zero. If this is known to be, correct
the position routine can be started without further adjustment. However, in
most applications the drive will need to be “homed” after each power-up and
prior to starting the position routine.

This can be accomplished in one of the following two ways:

1. Manual Homing–Program the following drive parameters:

t062, t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk xx] = 37 “Pos Redefine”

Program one of the digital inputs to 37 “Pos Redefine”. Then, move the
system into the home position with a run command, a jog command,
or by manually moving the system into the home position. Then,
toggle the “Pos Redefine” input. This sets the drive to “Home” at its
current position and d388 [Units Traveled H] and d389 [Units Traveled

226 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application

L] are set to zero. Alternately, the “Pos Redefine” bit in A560 [Enh
Control Word] can be toggled instead of utilizing a digital input.

IMPORTANT The “Pos Redefine” input or bit must be returned to inactive before
starting the position routine. Otherwise the drive continuously
reads a position of “0” (home) and the position routine does not
function correctly.
2. Automatic Homing to Limit Switch–Program the following drive
parameters:

t062, t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk xx] = 35 “Find Home”

Program one of the digital inputs to 35 “Find Home”.

t062, t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk xx] = 34 “Home Limit”

Program one of the digital inputs to 34 “Home Limit”. Normally, the
“Home Limit” input would be wired to a proximity switch or photo-eye
and indicate that the system is in the home position.

A562 [Find Home Freq] sets the frequency that the drive uses while it is
moving to the home position during the automatic homing routine.

A563 [Find Home Dir] sets the direction that the drive uses while it is
moving to the home position during the automatic homing routine.

To begin the automatic homing routine, activate the “Find Home” input and
then initiate a valid start command. The drive then ramps to the speed set in
A562 [Find Home Freq] and in the direction set in A563 [Find Home Dir] until
the digital input defined as “Home Limit” is activated. If the drive passes this
point too quickly it then reverses direction at 1/10th A562 [Find Home Freq] to
the point where the Home Limit switch reactivates. Approximately 1 second
after the routine finds home the drive stops. Alternately, the “Find Home Freq”
and/or “Home Limit” bits in A560 [Enh Control Word] can be activated instead
of utilizing a digital input. The inputs or bits should be returned to inactive
after the routine is complete.

IMPORTANT After the position is reached the drive stops. If the Find Home is
removed before the homing is complete, the drive begins running the
position routine without the proper home. In this case Home is not reset
and the position is in relation to the power-up position.

Encoder and Position d376 [Speed Feedback] indicates the measured speed feedback or the
Feedback calculated speed feedback when no feedback device is selected. Parameter d376
[Speed Feedback] is the number value to the left of the decimal (whole number)
and d377 [Speed Feedback F] is the value to the right of the decimal (the portion
less than 1).

d378 [Encoder Speed] indicates the measured speed of the feedback device.
This is useful if the encoder is not used for motor speed control. However, the
encoder must be used for some purpose in order for d378 [Encoder Speed] to
indicate a value. Parameter d378 [Encoder Speed] is the number value to the
left of the decimal (whole number) and d379 [Encoder Speed F] is the number
to the right of the decimal (the portion less than 1).

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 227

Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application

d388, d389 [Units Traveled x] indicate the current position of the system in
terms of units away from Home. Parameter d388 [Units Traveled H] is the
number value to the left of the decimal (whole number) and d389 [Units
Traveled L] is the number to the right of the decimal (the portion less than 1).

d387 [Position Status] indicates the status of the positioning functions. The
indication bits are:

Bit 0 “Dir Positive” indicates the current direction that the drive has
moved from Home.

Bit 1 “At Position” indicates whether the drive is at its commanded

position. If the drive is within A564 [Encoder Pos Tol] of the
commanded position, this bit will be active.

Bit 2 “At Home” indicates whether the drive is at Home. If the drive is
within A564 [Encoder Pos Tol] of “Home”, this bit will be active.

Bit 3 “Drive Homed” indicates whether the drive has been homed
since power-up. This bit will be active once the drive has been homed
either manually or automatically. It will remain active until the next
power down.

Use Over Communications If eight steps are not adequate for the application or if dynamic program
changes are required, many of the positioning functions can be controlled
through an active communication network. The following parameters allow
this control.

C121 [Comm Write Mode]

Repeated writes to parameters over a communication network can cause
damage to the drive EEPROM. This parameter allows the drive to accept
parameter changes without writing to the EEPROM.

IMPORTANT Parameter values set prior to setting 1 “RAM only” are saved in RAM.

C122 [Cmd Stat Select]

Selects velocity-specific or position/fibers-specific Command and Status Word
bit definitions for use over a communication network.

A560 [Enh Control Word]

This parameter allows many of the positioning functions to be completed
through parameter control using an explicit message. This allows the
operation over communications instead of with hardware inputs. The bits
have the same functions as the digital input options of the same name. Options
relating to positioning are:

Bit 0 “Home Limit” indicates that the drive is at the home position.

Bit 1 “Find Home” causes the drive to find home at the next start
command. Deactivate this bit after completing the homing routine.

228 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Appendix E Encoder/Pulse Train Usage and Position StepLogic Application

Bit 2 “Hold Step” overrides other inputs and causes the drive to remain
at its current step (running at zero speed once it reaches its position)
until released.

Bit 3 “Pos Redefine” resets the home position to the current position
of the machine. Deactivate this bit after completing the homing
routine.

Bit 4 “Sync Enable” holds the existing frequency when A571 [Sync
Time] is set to enable speed synchronization. When this bit is
deactivated the drive accelerates to the new commanded frequency
based on A571 [Sync Time].

Bit 5 “Traverse Dis” disables the traverse function when this bit is
active.

Bit 6 “Logic In 1” provides an identical function and is logically ORed

with setting 24 “Logic In 1” for t062, t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk
xx]. It can be used to move through the StepLogic functions (speed or
position) using comms control without requiring actual digital input
transitions.

Bit 7 “Logic In 2” provides an identical function and is logically ORed

with setting 25 “Logic In 2” for t062, t063, t065...t068 [DigIn TermBlk
xx]. It can be used to move through the StepLogic functions (speed or
position) using comms control without requiring actual digital input
transitions.

L200...L214 [Step Units x]

All position steps can be written to while the drive is running. The changes
takes place at the next move. For example, if step 0 is overwritten while the
drive is moving to step 0, the drive moves to the previous command position at
step 0. The next time that the drive is commanded to return to step 0 it
proceeds to the new position. One possible use of this capability is when an
application requires full control of the movement by a controller external to
the drive. The StepLogic program might be written to jump from step 0 back to
step 0 when Input 1 is active. The controller could write any desired position to
step 0 and then toggle the input 1 bit of A560 [Enh Control Word] to cause the
drive to move to the new position. This allows almost unlimited flexibility and
can be used with absolute or incremental moves.

Setup Notes The RA computer tool (Connected Components Workbench software) can
make setup of the positioning functions much easier. See the latest versions
for additional tools or wizards, which can aid in the setup.

PID Set Up

PID Loop The PowerFlex 520-series drive features built-in PID (proportional, integral,
derivative) control loops. The PID loop is used to maintain a process feedback
(such as pressure, flow, or tension) at a desired setpoint. The PID loop works
by subtracting the PID feedback from a reference and generating an error
value. The PID loop reacts to the error, based on the PID Gains, and outputs a
frequency to try to reduce the error value to 0.

To enable the PID loop, P047, P049 or P051 [Speed Referencex] must be set to 11
“PID1 Output” or 12 “PID2 Output”, and the corresponding speed reference
activated.

IMPORTANT PowerFlex 523 has one PID control loop.

PowerFlex 525 has two PID control loops, of which only one can be in use at
any time.

Exclusive Control and Trim Control are two basic configurations where the
PID loop may be used.

Exclusive Control

In Exclusive Control, the Speed Reference becomes 0, and the PID Output
becomes the entire Freq Command. Exclusive Control is used when A458 or
A470 [PID x Trim Sel] is set to option 0. This configuration does not require a
master reference, only a desired setpoint, such as a flow rate for a pump.

Example
• In a pumping application, the PID Reference equals the Desired System
Pressure setpoint.
• The Pressure Transducer signal provides PID Feedback to the drive.
Fluctuations in actual system pressure, due to changes in flow, result in a
PID Error value.

and 30.0%

 Appendix F PID Set Up

PID Preload

The value set in A466 or A478 [PID x Preload], in Hz, is pre-loaded into the
integral component of the PID at any start or enable. This causes the drive’s
frequency command to initially jump to that preload frequency, and the PID
loop starts regulating from there.

PID Enabled

PID Pre-load Value

PID Output

Freq Cmd
PID Pre-load Value > 0

PID Limits

A456 and A468 [PID x Trim Hi] and A457 and A469 [PID x Trim Lo] are used to
limit the PID output and are only used in trim mode. [PID x Trim Hi] sets the
maximum frequency for the PID output in trim mode. [PID x Trim Lo] sets the
reverse frequency limit for the PID output in trim mode. Note that when the
PID reaches the Hi or Lo limit, the PID regulator stops integrating so that
windup does not occur.

PID Gains

The proportional, integral, and differential gains make up the PID regulator.
• A461 and A473 [PID x Prop Gain]
The proportional gain (unitless) affects how the regulator reacts to the
magnitude of the error. The proportional component of the PID
regulator outputs a speed command proportional to the PID error. For
example, a proportional gain of 1 would output 100% of max frequency
when the PID error is 100% of the analog input range. A larger value for
[PID x Prop Gain] makes the proportional component more responsive,
and a smaller value makes it less responsive. Setting [PID x Prop Gain] to
0.00 disables the proportional component of the PID loop.
• A462 and A474 [PID x Integ Time]
The integral gain (units of seconds) affects how the regulator reacts to
error over time and is used to get rid of steady state error. For example,
with an integral gain of 2 seconds, the output of the integral gain
component would integrate up to 100% of max frequency when the PID
error is 100% for 2 seconds. A larger value for [PID x Integ Time] makes
the integral component less responsive, and a smaller value makes it
more responsive. Setting [PID x Integ Time] to 0.0 disables the integral
component of the PID loop.
• A463 and A475 [PID x Diff Rate]
The Differential gain (units of 1/seconds) affects the rate of change of the
PID output. The differential gain is multiplied by the difference between
the previous error and current error. Thus, with a large error the D has a
large effect and with a small error the D has less of an effect. This

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 235

Appendix F PID Set Up

parameter is scaled so that when it is set to 1.00, the process response is

0.1% of P044 [Maximum Freq] when the process error is changing at 1% /
second. A larger value for [PID x Diff Rate] makes the differential term
have more of an effect and a small value makes it have less of an effect. In
many applications, the D gain is not needed. Setting [PID x Diff Rate] to
0.00 (factory default) disables the differential component of the PID
loop.

Guidelines for Adjusting the PID Gains

1. Adjust the proportional gain. During this step it may be desirable to
disable the integral gain and differential gain by setting them to 0. After
a step change in the PID Feedback:
- If the response is too slow increase A461 or A473 [PID x Prop Gain].
- If the response is too quick and/or unstable (see Unstable Response on
page 236), decrease A461 or A473 [PID x Prop Gain].
- Typically, A461 or A473 [PID x Prop Gain] is set to some value below the
point where the PID begins to go unstable.
2. Adjust the integral gain (leave the proportional gain set as in Step 1).
After a step change in the PID Feedback:
- If the response is too slow (see Slow Response – Over Damped on
page 236), or the PID Feedback does not become equal to the PID
Reference, decrease A462 or A474 [PID x Integ Time].
- If there is a lot of oscillation in the PID Feedback before settling out
(see Oscillation – Under Damped on page 237), increase A462 or A474
[PID x Integ Time].
3. At this point, the differential gain may not be needed. However, if after
determining the values for A461 or A473 [PID x Prop Gain] and A462 or
A474 [PID x Integ Time]:
- Response is still slow after a step change, increase A463 or A475 [PID x
Diff Rate].
- Response is still unstable, decrease A463 or A475 [PID x Diff Rate].

The following figures show some typical responses of the PID loop at different
points during adjustment of the PID Gains.

components, helps provide protection according to EN ISO 13849 and EN62061
for safe-off and protection against restart. The PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off
function is just one component in a safety control system. Components in the
system must be chosen and applied appropriately to achieve the desired level
of operator safeguarding.

Category 3 / PL (d) according to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL CL2 according to

EN 62061, IEC 61508, and EN 61800-5-2.

IMPORTANT The function is suitable for performing mechanical work on the drive
system or affected area of a machine only. It does not provide electrical
safety.

ATTENTION: Electric Shock Hazard. Verify that all sources of AC and DC

power are de-energized and locked out or tagged out in accordance with the
requirements of ANSI/NFPA 70E, Part II.
To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the bus
capacitors has discharged before performing any work on the drive.
Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC and -DC terminals or test points
(refer to your drive’s User Manual for locations). The voltage must be zero.
In safe-off mode, hazardous voltages may still be present at the motor. To
avoid an electric shock hazard, disconnect power to the motor and verify
that the voltage is zero before performing any work on the motor.

EMC Instructions PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off function requires CE and UK Conformity as

described on page 51.

Using PowerFlex 525 Safe- The PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off function is intended to be part of the
Torque-Off safety related control system of a machine. Before use, a risk assessment
should be performed that compares the PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off
function specifications and all foreseeable operational and environmental
characteristics of the machine to which it is to be fitted.

A safety analysis of the machine section controlled by the drive is required to

determine how often the safety function should be tested for proper operation
during the life of the machine.

ATTENTION: The following information is merely a guide for proper

installation. Rockwell Automation cannot assume responsibility for the
compliance or the noncompliance to any code, national, local or otherwise
for the proper installation of this equipment. A hazard of personal injury
and/or equipment damage exists if codes are ignored during installation.
ATTENTION: In safe-off mode, hazardous voltages may still be present at
the motor. To avoid an electric shock hazard, disconnect power to the
motor and verify that the voltage is zero before performing any work on the
motor.
ATTENTION: In the event of the failure of two output IGBTs in the drive,
when the PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off has controlled the drive outputs
to the off state, the drive may provide energy for up to 180 ° of rotation in a
2-pole motor before torque production in the motor ceases.

Safety Concept The PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off function is suitable for use in safety
applications up to and including Category 3 / PL(d) according to EN ISO 13849-
1 and SIL 2 according to EN 62061 / EN 61800-5-2 / IEC 61508.

In addition, the PowerFlex 525 STO may be used together with other
components in a safety application to achieve an overall Category 3 / PL(e)
according to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 according to EN 62061 and IEC 61508.
This is illustrated in Example 3 in this appendix.

Safety requirements are based on the standards current at the time of

certification.

The PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off function is intended for use in safety-

related applications where the de-energized state is considered to be the safe
state. All of the examples in this manual are based on achieving de-

energization as the safe state for typical Machine Safety and Emergency
Shutdown (ESD) systems.

Important Safety Considerations

The system user is responsible for:

• the set-up, safety rating, and validation of any sensors or actuators
connected to the system.
• completing a system-level risk assessment and reassessing the system
any time a change is made.
• certification of the system to the desired safety performance level.
• project management and proof testing.
• programming the application software and the safety option
configurations in accordance with the information in this manual.
• access control to the system, including access code handling.
• analyzing all configuration settings and choosing the proper setting to
achieve the required safety rating.

IMPORTANT When applying Functional Safety, restrict access to qualified, authorized

personnel who are trained and experienced.

ATTENTION: When designing your system, consider how personnel will exit
the machine if the door locks while they are in the machine. Additional
safeguarding devices may be required for your specific application.

Functional Proof Test

The PFD and PFH values provided in the table below are contingent upon the
Proof Test Interval (PTI). Before the end of the PTI specified in the table below,
a proof test of the STO safety function must be performed in order for the
specified PFD and PFH values to remain valid.

PFD and PFH Data

PFD and PFH calculations are based on the equations from Part 6 of EN 61508.

This table provides data for a 20-year proof test interval and demonstrates the

Safety Reaction Time

The safety reaction time is the amount of time from a safety-related event as
input to the system until the system is in the Safe State.

The safety reaction time from an input signal condition that triggers a safe
stop, to the initiation of safe-torque-off, is 100 ms (maximum).

Enabling PowerFlex 525 1. Remove all power to the drive.

Safe-Torque-Off ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the
voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before performing any
work on the drive. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC and -DC
terminals or test points (refer to your drive’s user manual for the
location of the terminals). The voltage must be zero.
2. Loosen the screw of terminals Safety 1, Safety 2 and Safety +24V
(S1, S2, S+) on the control I/O terminal block.
3. Remove the protective jumper.

If Safety Inputs S1 and S2 are powered by an external +24V source, apply it only
in SELV system, PELV system or low voltage Class 2 circuit.

PowerFlex 525 Safe- The PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off function disables the drive’s output IGBT’s
Torque-Off Operation by breaking the link with the drive microcontroller. When used in combination
with a safety input device, the system satisfies the requirements of EN ISO
13849 and EN62061 for safe-torque-off and helps protect against restart.

Under normal drive operation, both safety inputs (Safety 1 and Safety 2) are
energized, and the drive is able to run. If either input is de-energized, the gate
control circuit becomes disabled. To meet EN ISO 13849 operation, both safety
channels must be de-energized. See the following examples for more
information.

IMPORTANT By itself, the Safe-Torque-Off function initiates a coast to stop action.

Additional protective measures will need to be applied when an
application requires a change to the stop action.

Verify Operation Test the safety function for proper operation after the initial setup of the
PowerFlex 525 Safe-Torque-Off function. Retest the safety function at the
intervals determined by the safety analysis described on page 241.

Verify that both safety channels are functioning according to the table below.

Safety Input S2 No Power Applied No Power Applied Power Applied Power Applied

IMPORTANT If an external fault is present on the wiring or circuitry controlling the

Safety 1 or Safety 2 inputs for a period of time, the Safe-Torque-Off
function may not detect this condition. When the external fault
condition is removed the Safe-Torque-Off function will allow an enable
condition. Fault in the external wiring shall either be detected by
external logic, or excluded (wiring must be protected by cable ducting or
armoring), according to EN ISO 13849-2.

Discrepancy Time of the Safety Inputs

For example, if S1 is disabled and S2 did not follow after the discrepancy time,
fault F111 “Safety Hardware” will occur. However, if S1 is disable and S2 follows
before the discrepancy time, fault F059 “Safety Open” will occur.

244 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

Operating Principle

This is a dual channel system with monitoring of the Safe-Torque-Off circuit

and drive. Opening the guard door will switch the input circuits (S13-S14 & S21-

EtherNet/IP

This section contains only basic information to setup an EtherNet/IP

connection with your PowerFlex 520-series drive. For comprehensive
information about EtherNet/IP (single and dual-port) and how to use it, see
the following publications:
• PowerFlex 525 Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter User Manual, publication
520COM-UM001.
• PowerFlex 25-COMM-E2P Dual-Port EtherNet/IP Adapter User Manual,
publication 520COM-UM003.

ATTENTION: PowerFlex 523 drives support only the 25-COMM-E2P dual-port

EtherNet/IP adapter. PowerFlex 525 drives support both the embedded
EtherNet/IP adapter and the 25-COMM-E2P dual-port EtherNet/IP adapter.

It is recommended to use Allen-Bradley Ethernet RJ45 cables, shielded or

unshielded (catalog number 1585J-M8xBJM-x), for connecting your
PowerFlex 520-series drive to an EtherNet/IP network.

Establishing A Connection There are three methods for configuring the Ethernet IP address:
With EtherNet/IP • BootP Server – Use BootP if you prefer to control the IP addresses of
devices using a server. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
addresses will then be provided by the BootP server.
• Adapter Parameters – Use adapter parameters when you want more
flexibility in setting up the IP address, or need to communicate outside
the control network using a gateway. The IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway addresses will then come from the adapter parameters you set.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) (only with PowerFlex 25-
COMM-E2P adapter) – Use DHCP when you want additional flexibility
and ease-of-use compared to BOOTP in configuring the IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address for the adapter using a DHCP server.

IMPORTANT If you are setting your network addresses manually using parameters,
you must set the appropriate drive or 25-COMM-E2P adapter parameter
value to 1 “Parameters”. See the respective EtherNet/IP adapter user
manual for more information.

IMPORTANT Regardless of the method used to set the adapter IP address, each node
on the EtherNet/IP network must have a unique IP address. To change
an IP address, you must set the new value and then remove and reapply
power to (or reset) the adapter.

Appendix J PowerFlex 525 PM Motor Configuration

Direction Test

IMPORTANT When configuring a PM motor or using an encoder, it is required to

perform a Direction Test before proceeding to the next step (Auto Tune).

Perform a Direction Test. The direction test can be performed with or without
the load attached. Consider your application requirements when deciding to
have the load attached or removed from the motor. This test runs in V/Hz
mode to verify the motor polarity relative to the feedback polarity. The test
confirms motor rotation and feedback polarity. After the test is completed, a
change can be made, if necessary.

IMPORTANT If the drive was never operated before (new installation), verify that
safeguards are in place to remove power safely from the drive during
an unstable situation where the drive can produce undesired motion.

Auto Tune

Ensure the load is uncoupled and perform a Rotate Tune test.

Run the drive with P040 [Autotune] = 2 “Rotate Tune” configured to

complete the auto tune process. This process measures and configures
the following:
• A501 [PM IR Voltage]
• A502 [PM IXd Voltage]
• A503 [PM IXq Voltage]
• A504 [PM BEMF Voltage]

The Auto Tune is used to identify the correct motor flux and stator electrical
properties, including the following:
• IR volt drop, which is voltage drop over resistance.
• IXd volt drop, which is voltage drop over inductance.

256 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Appendix J PowerFlex 525 PM Motor Configuration

• Flux current (estimated in Static Tune and measured in Rotate Tune

test).
• Slip RPM, which is calculated from motor nameplate data. If an encoder
is used, the Slip RPM becomes a measured value using the encoder.
Auto Tune Window

A properly tested motor and drive helps ensure higher starting torque and
better performance at low speeds. Conversely, an improperly performed Auto
Tune can cause the motor to exhibit instability at low speeds, uneven
performances when running through the motor speed range, and can generate
unnecessary faults such as overcurrent and overvoltage faults.

Static Tune

This test is used when the motor is connected to a high friction load and
cannot easily be uncoupled from the motor, or when the load cannot be rotated
due to mechanical constraints or a limited range of movement. The Static
Tune test does not generate any motor movement. The Static tune test results
may not be as accurate as the Rotate Tune test.

Rotate Tune (preferred for PM motor tuning)

This test is used when the motor is not coupled to the load or the load is low
friction. Rotate tune is generally used to better identify motor flux and stator
electrical properties, which are used to automatically tune the torque current
loop. The Rotate Tune test causes motor rotation at different speeds while it is
executing.

Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023 257

Appendix J PowerFlex 525 PM Motor Configuration

ATTENTION: If the drive was never operated before (new installation),

verify that safeguards are in place to remove power safely from the drive
during an unstable situation where the drive can produce undesired motion.

After completing the configuration and running the Auto Tune test, you may
need to perform additional configuration depending on whether you have an
open loop or closed loop system.

For an open loop system (A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] = 0 “None”), you may need to
adjust two parameters if you encounter momentary reverse startup after a
Start command is issued.

For a closed loop system (A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] = 4 “Quadrature” or 5 “Quad
Check”, you must perform an angle alignment after the Auto Tune test before
running the motor normally.

See Additional PM Motor Configuration on page 259 for instructions.

Manual Configuration Using Besides using the PowerFlex 525 Startup Wizard in Connected Components
Drive Keypad Workbench software, you can also manually configure the parameters by
using the drive keypad. Make sure you have installed the PowerFlex 525 drive
firmware revision 5.001 or later.

To configure the parameters, do the following:

1. Reset all parameters to their default values.
Set P053 [Reset to Defalts] = 2 “Factory Rset”
2. Select the Control Mode.
Set P039 [Torque Perf Mode] = 4 “PM Control”
3. Enter Motor nameplate data:
• Set P031 [Motor NP Volts]
• Set P032 [Motor NP Hertz]
• Set P033 [Motor OL Current]
• Set P034 [Motor NP FLA]
• Set P035 [Motor NP Poles]
• Set P036 [Motor NP RMP]
• Set P037 [Motor NP Power]
• Set P043 [Minimum Freq]
• Set P044 [Maximum Freq]
4. Set A440 [PWM Frequency] = 4.0 kHz (default).
5. Set A535 [Motor Fdbk Type]:
• = 4 “Quadrature” or 5 “Quad Check” (for Closed Loop PM)
or
• = 0 “None” (for Open Loop PM)
• A536 [Encoder PPR]
6. Enter Stop mode and dynamic brake data, if any.
• P045 [Stop Mode]
• A437 [DB Resistor Sel]
7. Ensure the load is uncoupled and perform a Rotate Tune test.
Set P040 [Autotune] = 2 “Rotate Tune”

258 Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001M-EN-E - January 2023

 Appendix J PowerFlex 525 PM Motor Configuration

Press the Start button (Take note of your Start Source settings P046,
P048, and P050. Default setting of P046 = 1 “Keypad”)

ATTENTION: If the drive was never operated before (new installation),

verify that safeguards are in place to remove power safely from the drive
during an unstable situation where the drive can produce undesired
motion.

After completing the configuration and running the Auto Tune test, you may
need to perform additional configuration depending on whether you have an
open loop or closed loop system.

For an open loop system (A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] = 0 “None”), you may need to
adjust two parameters if you encounter momentary reverse startup after a
Start command is issued.

For a closed loop system (A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] = 4 “Quadrature” or 5 “Quad
Check”, you must perform an angle alignment after the Auto Tune test before
running the motor normally.

See Additional PM Motor Configuration on page 259 for instructions.

Additional PM Motor After completing the initial configuration, there are additional steps that need
Configuration to be performed to complete the whole PM motor setup.

For an open loop PM motor (iPM and sPM) control, some parameters need to
be adjusted to prevent reverse startup. For a closed loop PM motor (iPM), an
angle alignment procedure needs to be performed before the motor is run
normally.

Additional Setup for Open Loop PM Motor

After performing an auto tune on an open loop PM motor, a momentary
“reverse startup” may occur. To prevent this from occurring, perform the
following steps:
1. Set A516 [PM Initial Sel] = 1 “HFI”.
2. Increase the value of A519 [PM HFI NS Cur] by 10%.
3. Perform a test run at a reference speed and check if the motor reverses.
4. If the motor reverses, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. If A519 [PM HFI NS Cur] has reached its maximum value (200%):
• reset the value to the default (100%)
• set A516 [PM Initial Sel] = 2 “Six Pulse”
6. Perform a test run at a reference speed and check if the motor reverses.
7. If the motor reverses, repeat steps 2 and 3.
8. If A519 [PM HFI NS Cur] has reached its maximum value again and a
reverse motor startup still occurs, the motor setup has failed.

Additional Setup for Closed Loop PM Motor

After performing an auto tune on an closed loop PM motor, a PM angle

alignment needs to be performed to complete the setup.

Align the PM Angle

To align the PM angle, do the following:

1. Uncouple the load.
2. Set these parameters to the recommended value:
• A517 [PM DC Inject Cur] = 60% (default is 30%)
• A518 [PM Align Time] = 5.8 s (default is 0.7 s)
• A580 [Current Loop BW] = 300 Hz (default is 0 Hz)
3. Set the desired speed (10...40 Hz recommended).
Check the setting for P047 [Speed Reference 1]. Speed reference can be
from POT, control panel of Connected Components Workbench
software, and so on.
4. Set the Start Source.
Check the setting for P046 [Start Source 1]. Start source can be from POT,
control panel of Connected Components Workbench software, and so
on.
5. Start the drive to run at the desired speed.
6. Drive will begin to align itself (move forward and reverse) and run to the
desired speed.
7. Stop the drive. The drive is now aligned.
The PM angle alignment only needs to be performed once unless the
drive is power cycled or re-tuned.

IMPORTANT The PM angle alignment has failed when fault F012 (HW Overcurrent) or
F013 (Ground Fault) is observed during acceleration and deceleration.

Adjustments if PM Angle Alignment has Failed

If the PM angle alignment has failed, do the following:

1. Cycle drive power or set A535 [Motor Fdbk Type] = 0 “None”, then set back
to 4 “Quadrature” or 5 “Quad Check”.
2. Increase A517 [PM DC Inject Cur] by 50%.
3. Increase A518 [PM Align Time] by 0.2 s.
4. Repeat the Align the PM Angle instructions again, beginning from step 3.
