Section 2 (Required): General PowerFlex


Introduction
Introduction
The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 70 and PowerFlex 700 AC drives have a common peripheral
connection known as DPI. These drives share this technology and use a common programming
terminal and similar programming schemes to setup the drive for operation.
In addition, this common peripheral connection also is capable of utilizing Scanport technology.
This allows use of existing programming terminals including the units used to communicate with
the Bulletin 1336PlusII, 1305, 1397, and 1336Impact.
All PowerFlex drives can be programmed in up to 7 languages using the same programming
terminal.
Note: If you desire to change the language currently displayed, please refer to Appendix A of
this lab.

Section 4 (Required): Programming Parameters


To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, drive parameters may have to be set.
PowerFlex drives contain three types of parameters. These parameters are ENUM, Bit, and
Numeric. This section of the lab will show you how to program the various parameter types.
These parameters may be displayed in a numbered list or in the File-Group-Parameter
format. The factory default display method is File-Group-Parameter.

ENUM Parameters
ENUM parameters allow a selection from 2 or more items. The LCD HIM will display a text
message for each item.

ALT S.M.A.R.T.
The PowerFlex 70 is designed so that start up is simple and efficient. During a Start Up, the
majority of applications require changes to only a few parameters. The LCD HIM on a
PowerFlex 70 drive offers S.M.A.R.T. start, which displays the most commonly changed
parameters. With these parameters, you can set the following functions:
