Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Seamless Network Integration: The onboard EtherNet/IP port facilitates rapid data exchange with Logix-based controllers. This eliminates the need for expensive add-on communication cards and simplifies remote diagnostics.

• Rapid Commissioning: The drive features a MainsFree™ USB configuration port. You can upload or download configuration files while the drive remains in the shipping box—no power input required.

• Precise Speed Feedback: The dual-channel incremental encoder interface (12V) supports closed-loop velocity control. This compensates for slip and maintains 90° (±27°) quadrature accuracy, ensuring consistent torque even at low speeds.

• Space-Saving Design: The innovative modular hardware allows the power module and control module to separate. This enables side-by-side mounting with Zero-Stacking™ clearances, significantly reducing the required cabinet width for multi-drive systems.

FAQs

• What is the primary difference between the 25A and this 25B model? The 25B (PowerFlex 525) includes integrated EtherNet/IP, a closed-loop feedback option, and Safe Torque-Off (STO) as standard. The 25A (PowerFlex 523) lacks these built-in features, making the 25B-D017N104 the superior choice for safety-critical and networked applications.

• How does the drive handle high-starting torque? This drive utilizes sensorless vector control and permanent magnet motor control. It delivers high torque across a wide speed range, making it ideal for conveyors, fans, and pump applications that experience variable loads.

• Does the unit require a specific mounting orientation? For optimal heat dissipation, mount the drive vertically on a flat, level surface. The IP20 open-type design relies on vertical airflow; maintaining the recommended clearances ensures the internal cooling fans operate effectively during peak 17A output.

• Can I configure the drive via a laptop? Yes. Use the Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software via the built-in USB port. This allows for real-time monitoring, parameter tuning, and troubleshooting without accessing the physical keypad.
