Procedure for Programming the Main Drive 75 HP PowerFlex 700 Frequency Drive (with 4-20 mA Speed Control from PLC Analog Output Card)

  1. If the Main Menu looks similar to the example Display above skip to step 3.
  2. The very first time the Frequency Drive is powered up from the Allen Bradley Factory, the following question is displayed: "English?". Press the Enter Key to accept English. Next, the message on the display will read, "START-UP. This routine is to help…….". At this point, press the ESC key , then press the arrow Up or Down key, , until you have scrolled to either "ABORT" or "Done/Exit". Press the Enter Key .

    which is associated with Param #.
  4. In the space provided, Param # : , type in parameter number and press Enter key .
  5. Press Select Key , to move from digit to digit, letter to letter, or bit to bit. The digit or bit that you can change will be highlighted.
  6. Press Enter Key to save the value. If you want to cancel a change, press Escape Key .
  7. Program the following Parameters using the same method as above:

    8. No. Parameter Name Setting

     

    196 [Param Access Lvl] 1 "Advanced"

    41 [Motor NP Volts] Set to the motor nameplate rated volts.

    42 [Motor NP FLA] Set to the motor nameplate rated full load amps.

    43 [Motor NP Hertz] Set to the motor nameplate rated frequency.

    44 [Motor NP RPM] Set to the motor nameplate rated RPM.

    45 [Motor NP Power] Set to the motor nameplated rated power.

    46 [Mtr NP Pwr Units] 0 "Horsepower"
