PowerFlex 70/700
General Programming
Hands-On Lab
The objective of this PowerFlex General Programming Lab is to expose you to basic
techniques used to program the PowerFlex 70 OR PowerFlex 700 Drive using the LCD
HIM. In addition, you will gain familiarity with the PowerFlex 70 or 700 Suitcase Demo.
Lab Materials
This document and the PowerFlex 70 OR 700 Suitcase Demo are required.
PowerFlex 70 Suitcase Demo:
Power Switch
LCD HIM
PowerFlex 70 Drive
Potentiometer Input
(NOTE: Switches and layout are similar for the PowerFlex 700 Demo)
