PowerFlex 4 and 40 AC Drives
Versatile Programming and Network Solutions
PowerFlex 4 and PowerFlex 40 are compatible with
any device that acts as a RTU Master and supports
standard 03 and 06 RTU commands.
A network can be configured using PowerFlex 40
drives with optional communication cards for high
performance and flexible configuration capabilities.
BACnet
ControlNet
DeviceNet
EtherNet/IP
LonWorks
PROFIBUS DP
A multi-drive solution can be reached using a single
PowerFlex 40 DeviceNet option, with the ability for
up to five drives to reside on one node.
Integral RS485 communications enable the drives to
be used in a multi-drop network configuration. A
serial converter module (SCM) provides connectivity
to any controller with a DF1 port. The SCM can be
eliminated if the controller acts as a RTU Master.
PC Programming Software
Through the use of a Serial Converter Module and
DriveExplorer™ or DriveTools SP software,
programming can be greatly simplified.
DriveExplorer Software
View and modify drive and adapter parameters in
a method similar to the file management capability
of Microsoft Windows Explorer.
Operate the drive via an on-screen Control Bar,
which is a tool that allows you to start, stop, and
change the speed reference of the drive.
Save, restore and print parameter information.
Compare current parameters with factory defaults
or previously saved parameter values.
Edit, upload and download parameters.
DriveTools SP Software
Online and offline programming capability
In-grid and dialog-based parameter editing
Immediate visual indication of drive and communication status when viewing online drive
Integrated HTML Help architecture
