PowerFlex DC DRIVE
POWERFUL PERFORMANCE. FLEXIBLE CONTROL.
The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex DC digital drive has been designed for the most demanding stand-alone and coordinated drive control and drive system applications. The PowerFlex DC drive combines powerful performance with flexible control to produce a highly functional, cost-effective drive and control solution. The DC drive offers many features that allow the user to easily configure the drive for most application needs. Basic drive modules are available from 1.2-112 kW (1.5-150 Hp) at 240V AC and 1.5-298 kW (2-400 Hp) at 480V AC in both regenerative and non-regenerative configurations. The standard hardware offering consists of an open type enclosure, armature converter, regulated field converter for field weakening or economy applications, an advanced regulator with integrated DPI functionality, DC tachometer and encoder capability.
Integrated Installation
Drive design incorporates proven noise and voltage suppression characteristics, reducing installation concerns for noise-sensitive environments Pull-apart control terminal blocks allow for easy wiring and quick disconnect The flexible feedback and communication options with in the PowerFlex DC drive assure an effective integration solution DC Tachometer and encoder feedback capabilities are embedded into the control circuitry as a standard feature, saving space and providing additional functionality The extensive I/O provides installation flexibility including up to 12 digital inputs and outputs as well as 3 analog inputs and 4 outputs Optimized global voltage settings designed to worldwide standards allow quick set-up anywhere in the world
Easy to Use
Full-featured LCD Human Interface Module (HIM) with multi-line and multi-lingual display simplifies programming. PC tools such as DriveTools SP or RSLogix 5000, assist with programming, configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting DPI capability fully integrated into the regulator allows the DC drive to be fully compatible with all PowerFlex architecture class AC drive communication cards, HIMs, and software tools PowerFlex drives offer internal communication options helping the user to cost-effectively assemble highly integrated applications Status indicators for all internal communications options are visible on the cover for easy set-up and monitoring of drive communications Flash upgradeable firmware can be updated anytime via DPI
The PowerFlex DC drive is ideal for applications and industries requiring rugged reliable drives capable of high overload torque, high shock loads, rapid accel/decel or continuous regeneration. The PowerFlex DC is also well suited for upgrading the power conversion and control of existing machinery already powered by DC motors. -Craines and Hoists - Extruders - Metals and Wire - Mining - Petroleum - Pulp & Paper -Machinery Upgrades
