Drive Frame Sizes The PowerFlex 527 AC drive belongs to the new generation of PowerFlex 520-
series drives, which also consist of PowerFlex 523 and PowerFlex 525 drives.
Similar PowerFlex 520-series drive sizes are grouped into frame sizes to simplify
spare parts ordering, dimensioning, and so on. A cross-reference of drive catalog
numbers and their respective frame sizes is provided in Appendix B.
At the end of its life, this equipment should be collected separately from any
unsorted municipal waste
General Precautions ATTENTION: The drive contains high-voltage capacitors, which take time to
discharge after removal of mains supply. Before working on drive, verify
isolation of mains supply from line inputs [R, S, T (L1, L2, L3)]. Wait three
minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels (DC Bus voltage is less
than 50V DC). Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.
Darkened display LEDs is not an indication that capacitors have discharged to
safe voltage levels.
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency AC
drives and associated machinery should plan or implement the installation,
start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts
and assemblies. Static control precautions are required when installing, testing,
servicing, or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control
procedures, reference publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic
Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component
damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, such as
undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION: The bus regulator function is extremely useful for preventing
nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive decelerations,
overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. However, it can also cause either of the
following two conditions to occur.
1. Fast positive changes in input voltage or imbalanced input voltages can cause
uncommanded positive speed changes.
2. Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded deceleration times.
However, a “Decel Override” fault is generated if the drive remains in this state for
one minute. If this condition is unacceptable, the bus regulator must be disabled by
setting the Bus Regulator Action in Logix Designer. In addition, installing a properly
sized dynamic brake resistor provides equal or better performance in most cases.
See Dynamic Brake Resistors on page 144 to select an appropriate resistor for your
drive rating.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Drive does not contain
user-serviceable components. Do not disassemble drive chassis.

The drive is suitable for direct connection to input power within the rated
voltage of the drive (see Technical Specifications on page 137). Listed in the
Input Power Conditions table below are certain input power conditions which
may cause component damage or reduction in product life. If any of these
conditions exist, install one of the devices that are listed under the heading
Corrective Action on the line side of the drive.
IMPORTANT Only one device per branch circuit is required. It should be mounted closest to
the branch and sized to handle the total current of the branch circuit.
General Grounding The drive Safety Ground - (PE) must be connected to system ground. Ground
Requirements impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local industrial
safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground connections
should be periodically checked.

This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these
points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor ground
rod, or busbar. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial
safety regulations and/or electrical codes.
Motor Ground
The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on the
drive.
Either of the safety ground terminals that are located on the power terminal
block provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. The motor cable
shield connected to one of these terminals (drive end) should also be connected
to the motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to
connect the shield to the safety ground terminal. The earthing plate or conduit
box option may be used with a cable clamp for a grounding point for the cable
shield.
When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield should be
grounded at the source end only, not at the drive end.
Using a drive with filter may result in relatively high ground leakage currents.
Therefore, the filter must only be used in installations with grounded AC
supply systems and be permanently installed and solidly grounded (bonded)
to the building power distribution ground. Verify that the incoming supply
neutral is solidly connected (bonded) to the same building power distribution
ground. Grounding must not rely on flexible cables and should exclude any form
of plug or socket that would permit inadvertent disconnection. Some local codes
may require redundant ground connections. The integrity of all connections
should be periodically checked.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers The PowerFlex 527 drive does not provide branch short circuit protection. This
product should be installed with either input fuses or an input circuit breaker.
National and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes may
determine additional requirements for these installations.
The tables under Fuses and Circuit Breakers for PowerFlex 527 on page 21
provide recommended AC line input fuse and circuit breaker information. See
Fusing and Circuit Breakers below for UL and IEC requirements. Sizes that are
listed are the recommended sizes based on 40 °C (104 °F) and the U.S. N.E.C.
Other country, state, or local codes may require different ratings.
Fusing
The recommended fuse types are listed in the tables that are found in Fuses and
Circuit Breakers for PowerFlex 527 on page 21. If available current ratings do not
match those listed in the tables provided, choose the next higher fuse rating.
• IEC – BS88 (British Standard) Parts 1 & 2(1), EN60269-1, Parts 1 & 2,
type GG or equivalent should be used.
• UL – UL Class CC, T, RK1, or J should be used.
Circuit Breakers
The “non-fuse” listings in the tables Fuses and Circuit Breakers for PowerFlex
527 on page 21 include inverse time circuit breakers, instantaneous trip circuit
breakers (motor circuit protectors), and 140M self-protected combination motor
controllers. If one of these is chosen as the desired protection method, the
following requirements apply:
• IEC – Both types of circuit breakers and 140M self-protected
combination motor controllers are acceptable for IEC installations.
• UL – Only inverse time circuit breakers and the specified 140M self-
protected combination motor controllers are acceptable for UL
installations.
When using Bulletin 140M or UL489 rated circuit breakers, the following
guidelines that are listed must be followed to meet the NEC requirements for
branch circuit protection.
• Bulletin 140M can be used in single motor applications.
• Bulletin 140M can be used up stream from the drive without the need for
fuses.
If the DC Bus terminals or the Dynamic Brake terminals are used, the drive must
be installed in an enclosure and fuses must be used for input protection (for CE
applications only). The ventilated enclosure needs to be IP 20 rating or higher
and at least 1.5x size larger than the drive.
(1) Typical designations include, but may not be limited to the following;
Parts 1 & 2: AC, AD, BC, BD, CD, DD, ED, EFS, EF, FF, FG, GF, GG, GH.

Power and Control Module PowerFlex 527 drives consist of a Power Module and Control Module. This
section describes how to separate the two modules and reconnect them back
together, and also how to access the power terminals and control terminals. It is
assumed that your drive is new and has not been installed.
ATTENTION: If you are performing these steps on a drive that has been
installed, verify that the drive is powered down and the DC Bus voltage is less
than 50V DC before proceeding.
1. Press and hold down the catch on both sides of the frame cover, then pull
out and swing upwards to remove (Frames B...E only).
2. Press down and slide out the top cover of the Control Module to unlock it
from the Power Module.
3. Hold the sides and top of the Control Module firmly, then pull out to
separate it from the Power Module.
1. Align the connectors on the Power Module and Control Module, then
push the Control Module firmly onto the Power Module.
2. Push the top cover of the Control Module towards the Power Module to
lock it.
3. Insert the catch at the top of the frame cover into the Power Module, then
swing the frame cover to snap the side catches onto the Power Module
(Frames B...E only).
Control Module Cover To access the control terminals, the front cover must be removed. To remove:
1. Press and hold down the arrow on the front of the cover.
2. Slide the front cover down to remove from the Control Module.
Power Module Terminal To access the power terminals, the terminal guard must be removed. To remove:
Guard 1. Press and hold down the catch on both sides of the frame cover, then pull
out and swing upwards to remove (Frames B...E only).
2. Press and hold down the locking tab on the terminal guard.
3. Slide the terminal guard down to remove from the Power Module.
To access the power terminals for Frame A, you need to separate the Power and
Control Modules. See Separating the Power and Control Module on page 25 for
instructions.
Power Wiring For general wiring and grounding practices, see Wiring and Grounding for Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001.
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, and so on) and local
codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment. Installation
must comply with specifications regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch
circuit protection, and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard that is caused by induced
voltages, unused wires in the conduit must be grounded at both ends. For the
same reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is being serviced or installed, all drives
using this conduit should be disabled. This will help minimize the possible
shock hazard from “cross coupled” power leads.
A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For many
installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided it can be separated from
sensitive circuits. As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3 m (1 ft) for
every 10 m (32.8 ft) of length. In all cases, long parallel runs must be avoided. Do
not use cable with an insulation thickness less than 15 mils (0.4 mm/0.015 in.).
Do not route more than three sets of motor leads in one conduit to minimize
“cross talk”. If more than three drive/motor connections per conduit are required,
shielded cable must be used.
ATTENTION: The distance between the drive and motor must not exceed the
maximum cable length that is stated in the Motor Cable Length Restrictions
Tables in “Wiring and Grounding for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives,”
publication DRIVES-IN001.
Unshielded
Shielded/Armored Cable
Shielded cable contains all the general benefits of multi-conductor cable with the
added benefit of a copper braided shield that can contain much of the noise that
is generated by a typical AC Drive. Strong consideration for shielded cable
should be given in installations with sensitive equipment such as weigh scales,
capacitive proximity switches, and other devices that may be affected by electrical
noise in the distribution system. Applications with large numbers of drives in a
similar location, imposed EMC regulations or a high degree of communications /
networking are also good candidates for shielded cable.
Shielded cable may also help reduce shaft voltage and induced bearing currents
for some applications. In addition, the increased impedance of shielded cable may
help extend the distance that the motor can be located from the drive without the
addition of motor protective devices such as terminator networks. See Reflected
Wave in “Wiring and Grounding for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC
Drives” publication DRIVES-IN001.
Other types of shielded cable are available, but the selection of these types may
limit the allowable cable length. Particularly, some of the newer cables twist four
conductors of THHN wire and wrap them tightly with a foil shield. This
construction can greatly increase the cable charging current required and reduce
the overall drive performance. Unless specified in the individual distance tables as
tested with the drive, these cables are not recommended and their performance
against the lead length limits supplied is not known.

The drive should be installed as close to the motor as possible. Installations with
long motor cables may require the addition of external devices to limit voltage
reflections at the motor (reflected wave phenomena). See Reflected Wave in
“Wiring and Grounding for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives,”
publication DRIVES-IN001.
The reflected wave data applies to all carrier frequencies 2...8 kHz.
Note: For 240V ratings and lower, reflected wave effects do not need to be
considered.
Output Disconnect
The drive is intended to be commanded by motion commands that will start and
stop the motor. A device that routinely disconnects then reapplies output power
to the motor for starting and stopping the motor should not be used. If it is
necessary to disconnect power to the motor with the drive outputting power, use
Logix Designer application to disable the drive (Aux Fault or Coast to Stop).

Safety Ground - PE
IMPORTANT Terminal screws may become loose during shipment. Verify that all terminal
screws are tightened to the recommended torque before applying power to the
drive.
IMPORTANT I/O terminals labeled “Common” are not referenced to the safety ground (PE)
terminal and are designed to greatly reduce common mode interference.
ATTENTION: Driving the 4-20 mA analog input from a voltage source could
cause component damage. Verify proper configuration before applying input
signals.
ATTENTION: Due to its control circuitry difference from the PowerFlex 523 and
PowerFlex 525 drives, connecting Terminals 01 and 11 on the PowerFlex 527
drive causes an internal short and results in some internal components
incurring damage to the control module I/O circuitry.
Do not exceed control wiring length of 30 m (100 ft). Control signal cable length
is highly dependent on electrical environment and installation practices. To
improve noise immunity, the I/O terminal block Common may be connected to
ground terminal/protective earth.

CE Conformity Compliance with the Low Voltage Directive and Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive has been demonstrated using harmonized European Norm (EN)
standards that are published in the Official Journal of the European
Communities. PowerFlex 520-series drives comply with the EN standards that
are listed below when installed according to the installation instructions in this
manual.
General Considerations
• For CE compliance, drives must satisfy installation requirements that are
related to both EN 61800-5-1 and EN 61800-3 provided in this
document.
• PowerFlex 520-series drives must be installed in a pollution degree 1 or 2
environment to be compliant with the CE LV Directive. See Pollution
Degree Ratings According to EN 61800-5-1 on page 37 for descriptions of
each pollution degree rating.
• PowerFlex 520-series drives comply with the EMC requirements of EN
61800-3 when installed according to good EMC practices and the
instructions that are provided in this document. However, many factors
can influence the EMC compliance of an entire machine or installation,
and compliance of the drive itself does not ensure compliance of all
applications.
• Maximum motor cable length must not exceed the maximum length that
is indicated in PowerFlex 527 RF Emission Compliance and Installation
Requirements on page 40 for compliance with radio frequency emission
limits for the specific standard and installation environment.
Shielded enclosure(1)
(1) Some installations require a shielded enclosure. Keep wire length as short as possible between the enclosure entry point and the
EMI filter.

Start Up
Prepare for Drive Startup Before starting up the drive, it is recommended to perform the startup tasks
described below to achieve a smooth startup and drive operation. Verify that the
drive is not powered (check that DC Bus voltage is less than 50V DC) before
proceeding with the startup task list.
Start, Stop, Direction, and Speed Control are done using Logix motion
instructions (for example, Motion Drive Start (MDS)). See the Logix5000
Motion Controllers Instructions Reference Manual, publication MOTION-
RM002 for more information.

EtherNet/IP network must have a unique IP address. To change an IP address,
you must set the new value and then power cycle the drive.
You can also use the Reset function, however all safety connections will have to
be disabled before this option is available.
You must enter a valid IP address configuration. With firmware 1.008 or later, if
an illegal IP address configuration exists upon power-up, for example, if the IP
address and gateway address are identical, the drive faults and exhibits INIT
FLT M22 - ILLEGAL ADDRESS on the display and the IP address configuration
changes to DHCP.
IMPORTANT You must cycle power to make network configuration changes persistent. An
asterisk (*) is shown next to the network configuration when viewing the
Device Info screen option to signify that a change has been made but has not
taken effect.
For example, after changing the network
configuration from Static IP to DHCP, when viewing
the Device Info screen option, an asterisk (*) appears
next to the text “DHCP” on the LCD display.
The change takes effect and the asterisk is removed after you cycle power to
the drive.
Display configuration changes take effect immediately.
Once the drive is enabled and running and connected to a controller, the
following information can be accessed through the LCD screen.

Drive Programming Tools Some features in the PowerFlex 527 drive are not supported by older
configuration software tools. It is strongly recommended that customers using
such tools migrate to Studio 5000 Logix Designer application (version 24 or
greater) with Add-on Profile (AOP) to enjoy a richer, full-featured configuration
experience.
Using the Ethernet Port The PowerFlex 527 drive has dual embedded Ethernet ports that connect the
drive to an EtherNet/IP network. This enables communication with a Logix
based control system for drive control using CIP Motion commands. You can
also upgrade the drive firmware or upload/download a configuration easily using
the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application.
The EtherNet/IP network offers a full suite of control, configuration, and data
collection services by layering the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) over the
standard protocols used by the Internet (TCP/IP and UDP). EtherNet/IP uses
TCP/IP for general messaging/information exchange services and UDP/IP for
I/O messaging services for control applications.
Liner, Star, and Device Level Ring network topologies are supported by the
PowerFlex 527 drive. Plus, the application of the CIP Safety™ protocol enables
the simultaneous transmission of safety and standard control data and diagnostics
information.
Notes:
TIP Before you begin, make sure that you know the catalog number for each drive
component, the Logix module and /or controller used in your motion control
application.
Configure the Drive You can include the drive in your Studio 5000 Logix Designer application by
adding it to a configured EtherNet/IP module or controller and adding it under
the I/O configuration tree. After setting the network configuration, you can view
the drive status information in Studio 5000 environment and use it in your
Studio 5000 Logix Designer application.
You can set the network configuration by using the LCD display and drive
keypad.
1. When the LCD display is showing the Device/Axis state, use the keypad
to navigate to SETTINGS -> NETWORK. Then choose either STATIC
IP or DHCP.
The default setting is STATIC IP.
2. If you chose STATIC IP, then you must configure the following settings:
• IP address
• Gateway
• Subnet mask
If you chose DHCP, the three settings above are configured automatically
by the DHCP server.
Configure the Logix Designer These procedures assume that you have wired your PowerFlex 527 drive system.
In this example, the CompactLogix™ 5370 controller is used.
Application Project
For help with using the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application (version 24 or
greater) application as it applies to configuring the ControlLogix or
CompactLogix controllers, see Additional Resources on page 8.
1. Apply power to your controller and open your Logix Designer application.
IMPORTANT If you are configuring a PowerFlex 527 drive for integrated safety in a safety
application, you must use a GuardLogix® safety controller.
If using a safety or non-safety ControlLogix controller, you must also use a 1756-
EN2T, 1756-EN2TR, or 1756-EN3TR EtherNet/IP module. If using a
CompactLogix 5370 controller, it has dual embedded EtherNet/IP ports.
In this example, the typical dialog boxes for 1756-L7xS GuardLogix 5570 safety
controllers and CompactLogix 5370 controllers are shown.
The new controller appears in the Controller Organizer under the I/O
Configuration folder.
IMPORTANT If your project includes a ControlLogix or GuardLogix controller, you need to add
an Ethernet communication module to your Bulletin 1756 chassis and
configure it for use in your application.
• For ControlLogix or GuardLogix controllers, go to step 6.
• For CompactLogix 5370 controllers, go to step 13.
See the EtherNet/IP Network Configuration User Manual, publication, ENET-
UM001 for more information.

Certification The TÜV Rheinland group has approved PowerFlex 527 drives with integrated
safe torque-off for use in safety-related applications up to PLe, Category 3
according to EN ISO 13849, and SIL CL3 according to IEC 61508, EN 61800-
5-2, and EN 62061, in which removing the motion-producing power is
considered to be the safe state
IMPORTANT In the event of a malfunction, the most likely stop category is category 0.
When designing the machine application, timing and distance must be
considered for a coast to stop. For more information regarding stop categories,
refer to EN 60204-1.
Refer to the EN ISO 13849, EN 61508, and EN 62061 standards for complete
information on requirements for PL and SIL determination.
Description of Operation The Safe Torque-Off (STO) feature provides a method, with sufficiently low
probability of failure, to force the power-transistor control signals to a disabled
state. When the command to allow torque ceases, all of the drive output-power
transistors are released from the On state. This results in a condition where the
motor is coasting (stop category 0). Disabling the power transistor output does
not provide mechanical isolation of the electrical output that is required for some
applications.
The PowerFlex 527 drive STO function response time is less than 12 ms.
Response time is the delay between the time the drive STO function receives the
STO request and the time when motion producing power is removed from the
motor.
PFH Data
This PFH calculation is based on the equations from EN 61508 and show worst-
case values.
This table provides data for a 20-year proof test interval and demonstrates the
worst-case effect of various configuration changes on the data.
Safe Torque-Off (STO) The safe torque-off circuit, when used with suitable safety components, provides
protection according to EN ISO 13849 (PLe), Category 3 or according to
Feature IEC EN 61508, EN 61800-5-2, and EN 62061 (SIL CL3). All components in
the system must be chosen and applied correctly to achieve the desired level of
operator safeguarding.
The safe torque-off circuit is designed to safely turn off all of the output-power
transistors. You can use the safe torque-off circuit in combination with other
PowerFlex 527 drives do not operate without a safety circuit or safety bypass
wiring. For applications that do not require the safe torque-off feature, you must
install jumper wires to bypass the safe torque-off circuitry.
PowerFlex 527 drives ship with the safety control in the out-of-box state and with
a safety bypass jumper in place. In this configuration, the PowerFlex 527 safe
torque-off function is disabled.

Hardwired Safety Inputs
IMPORTANT If safe torque-off is not required, the drive must be returned to the as-shipped
safety configuration to allow operation.
IMPORTANT If the Safety Bypass Jumper is misplaced, it is acceptable to wire the S1, S2, and
S+ input terminals together.
Out-of-Box (OOB) Safety PowerFlex 527 drives ship in the out-of-box safety state.
State
Recognizing the Out-of-Box State
The safety control state can be read from the axis tag AxisSafetyState, or by using
a MSG command in Logix Designer software to read the Safety Supervisor
Status.
If the state is “Waiting for TUNID” (8) or “Waiting for TUNID with Torque
Permitted” (51) then the safety control is in the out-of-box state.
Safety Supervisor State: Values
Value Definition Definition Mode
2 Idle No active connections Network
4 Executing Normal running state Network
7 Configuring Transition state Network
8 Waiting for TUNID Out-of-Box state Hardwired
51 Waiting for TUNID Out-of-Box state Hardwired
with Torque Permitted
52 Executing STO Bypass state Network

IMPORTANT If power to the drive is not cycled after step 5, the drive does not
transition to the out-of-box state and maintains STO function.
IMPORTANT When the drive returns to the out-of-box state, the STO function
reverts to hardwired control.
7. On power-up makesure that the drive does not have a safety connection.

Description of Operation The safe torque-off feature provides a method, with sufficiently low probability
of failure, to force the power-transistor control signals to a disabled state. If either
hardwired safety input is de-energized, all drive output-power transistors are
released from the On state. This results in a condition where the drive is coasting
(stop category 0). Disabling the power transistor output does not provide
mechanical isolation of the electrical output that is required for some
applications.
Under normal operation, the safe torque-off inputs are energized. If either of the
safety enable inputs are de-energized, then all output power transistors turn off.
The safe torque-off response time is less than 12 ms.
ATTENTION: If any of the safety enable inputs de-energize, the Start Inhibit
field indicates SafeTorqueOffInhibit and the GuardStopRequestStatus bit of the
AxisGuardStatus tag are set to 1. Both inputs must be de-energized within 1
second and re-energized within 1 second to avoid GuardStopInputFault
conditions.

If a PowerFlex 527 drive safety control detects a fault, the input assembly tag
SI.SafetyFault is set to 1. A transition from logic 0 to 1 of the SO.Reset tag is
required after the SO.SafeTorqueOff tag has transitioned from logic 0 to 1.
IMPORTANT PowerFlex 527 drives enter the STO Fault state if any STO function fault is
detected. See PowerFlex 527 Drive Troubleshooting on page 109 for integrated
safety troubleshooting.
IMPORTANT An STO Fault sets the Axis.SafetyFault tag. After the STO Fault is reset, a MAFR
command must be issued by the motion controller to clear the Axis.SafetyFault
tag to enable motion.
See Reset Safe Torque-Off Fault Diagram on page 108 for an understanding of
the PowerFlex 527 STO Fault reset functionality.

Understanding Integrated GuardLogix controllers retain I/O device configuration onboard and are able to
download the configuration to the replacement device.
Safety Drive Replacement
IMPORTANT If the replacement PowerFlex 527 drive was used previously, clear its existing
configuration before installing it on a safety network by resetting the drive to
its out-of-box condition. To see how this is done, refer to Out-of-Box (OOB)
Safety State on page 93.
Replacing a PowerFlex 527 drive that sits on an integrated safety network is more
complicated than replacing standard devices because of the Safety Network
Number (SNN). The device number and SNN make up the safety device's
DeviceID. Safety devices require this more complex identifier to make sure that
duplicate device numbers do not compromise communication between the
correct safety devices. The SNN is also used to provide integrity on the initial
download to the PowerFlex 527 drive.
When the Logix Designer application is online, the Safety tab of the Module
Properties dialog box displays the current configuration ownership. When the
opened project owns the configuration, Local is displayed.
Replacing an Integrated If you are relying on a portion of the integrated safety system to maintain SIL 3
behavior during drive replacement and functional testing, do not use the
Safety Drive in a GuardLogix Configure Always feature.
System
Use the Configure Always feature when you are not relying on the entire routable
integrated safety control system to maintain PLe/SIL 3 behavior during the
replacement and functional testing of a PowerFlex 527 drive. Drive replacement
is configured on the Safety tab of the GuardLogix controller.
When a PowerFlex 527 drive is replaced and the DeviceID of the new drive
matches the original, you can download the configuration from the safety
controller. The DeviceID is a combination of the node/IP address and the safety
network number (SNN), and is updated whenever the SNN is set.
Scenario 1 – Replacement Integrated Safety Drive Is Out-of-Box and Safety Signature Exists
4. Click Set.
5. Verify that the Network Status (NET) status indicator is alternating red/
green on the correct drive.
6. Click Yes to set the SNN and accept the replacement drive.
7. Power cycle the drive.
8. Follow your company-prescribed procedures to functionally test the
replacement drive and system and to authorize the system for use.
Scenario 2 – Replacement Integrated Safety Drive SNN is Different from Original and Safety
Signature Exists
8. Click Set.
9. Verify that the Network Status (NET) status indicator is alternating red/
green on the correct drive.
Scenario 3 – Replacement Integrated Safety Drive SNN is Different from Original and no Safety
Signature Exists
ATTENTION: Enable the Configure Always feature only if the entire integrated
safety control system is not being relied on to maintain SIL 3 behavior during
the replacement and functional testing of a PowerFlex 527 drive. Do not place
drives that are in the Out-of-box condition on an integrated safety network
when the Configure Always feature is enabled, except while following this
replacement procedure.
If the project is configured for Configure Always, follow the appropriate steps to
replace a PowerFlex 527 drive.
Motion Direct Commands in You can use the Motion Direct Command (MDC) feature to initiate motion
while the controller is in Program mode, independent of application code that is
Motion Control Systems executed in Run mode. These commands let you perform a variety of functions,
for example, move an axis, jog an axis, or home an axis. See the Logix5000™
Motion Controllers Instructions Reference Manual, publication MOTION-
RM002 for more information.
A typical use might involve a machine integrator testing different parts of the
motion system while the machine is being commissioned, or a maintenance
engineer, under certain restricted scenarios in accordance with safe machine
operating procedures, wanting to move an axis (like a conveyor) to clear a jam
before resuming normal operation.
This is because the safety task is not executed while the GuardLogix safety
controller is in Program mode. This applies to applications running in a single
safety controller (with Motion and Safety connections). When an integrated
safety drive has a Motion connection to a standard controller and a separate
Safety connection to a dual-safety controller, the standard controller can
transition to Program mode while the safety controller stays in Run mode and
continues to execute the safety task.
However, PowerFlex 527 drive systems are designed with a bypass feature for the
STO function in single-safety controller configurations. You can use the MDC
feature to allow motion while following all necessary and prescribed steps per
your machine's safety operating procedures.
Safety State Indications When Controller is in Run Mode (safety task executing)
When the controller transitions to Program mode, the integrated safety drive is
in the safe state and torque is not permitted. The controller will report Safety
state = Not Running and Axis state = Start Inhibited, as shown in Safety State
Indications After Controller Transitions to Program Mode on page 118.
The warning in STO Bypass Prompt When the Safety Controller is in Program
Mode on page 119 is displayed the first time a motion direct command is issued.
After you acknowledge the warning message by clicking Yes, torque is permitted
by the drive and a warning message is indicated in the software as shown in Safety
State Indications After Controller Transitions to Program Mode (MDC
Executing) on page 119. The controller will report Safety state = Not Running
(Torque Permitted), Axis state = Stopped/Running, and Persistent Warning =
Safe Torque Off Bypassed.
IMPORTANT Switch the controller to Run mode to exit Motion Direct Command mode and
end the bypass of the STO function.
Safety State Indications After Controller Transitions to Program Mode (MDC Executing)
IMPORTANT The persistent warning message text Safe Torque Off bypassed appears when a
motion direct command is executed.
The warning message persists - even after the dialog is closed and reopened -
as long as the integrated safety drive is in STO Bypass mode.
The persistent warning message is removed only after the integrated safety
drive is restored to the Safe state.
In addition to the other warnings that require your acknowledgment, the Logix
Designer application also provides warning icons and persistent warning
messages in other Axis Properties dialog boxes when the integrated safety drive is
in STO Bypass mode.

Functional Safety
Considerations ATTENTION: Before maintenance work can be performed in Program mode,
the developer of the application must consider the implications of allowing
motion through motion direct commands and should consider developing logic
for runtime maintenance operations to meet the requirements of machine
safety operating procedures.
ATTENTION: Motion is allowed and the STO function is not available when
motion direct commands are used in Program mode.
Motion direct commands that are issued when the controller is in Program
mode cause the drive to bypass the STO Active condition.
It is your responsibility to implement additional preventive measures to
maintain safety integrity of the machinery during execution of motion direct
commands in Program mode.

Safety Precautions Observe the following safety precautions when troubleshooting your
PowerFlex 527 drive.
ATTENTION: Capacitors on the DC bus can retain hazardous voltages after input
power has been removed. Before working on the drive, measure the DC bus
voltage to verify it has reached less than 50V DC, or wait three minutes. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: Do not attempt to defeat or override the drive fault circuits. You
must determine the cause of a fault and correct it before you attempt to operate
the system. Failure to correct the fault could result in personal injury and/or
damage to equipment as a result of uncontrolled machine operation.
Interpret Status Indicators See these troubleshooting tables to identify faults, potential causes, and the
appropriate actions to resolve the fault. If the fault persists after attempting to
troubleshoot the system, contact your Rockwell Automation sales representative
for further assistance.
Display Interface
Fault Codes
The fault code tables are designed to help you determine the source of the fault or
exception. When a fault condition is detected, the drive performs the appropriate
fault action, the fault is displayed, and the fault is added to a persistent fault log
(along with diagnostics data). The earlier faults have priority to be displayed.
The drive removes the fault text from the display when a Fault Reset service is
sent from the controller and the fault is no longer active. If a fault is still active
following a Fault Reset service, the fault is again posted to the display and written
to the fault log.

Logix5000 Controller and By using the Logix Designer application, you can configure how the
PowerFlex 527 drives respond when a drive fault/exception occurs.
Drive Behavior
TIP The INIT FLT xxx faults are always generated after powerup, but before the
drive is enabled, so the stopping behavior does not apply.
NODE ALARM xxx faults do not apply because they do not trigger stopping
behavior.
The drive supports fault action for Ignore, Alarm, Minor Fault, and Major Fault
as defined in PowerFlex 527 Drive Exception Action Definitions on page 132.
See the drive behavior tables beginning on page 133 for information on how the
fault and stopping actions apply to each of the exception fault codes.
For PowerFlex 527 drives, you can configure exception behavior in the
Logix Designer application from the Axis Properties dialog box, Actions
category.
PowerFlex 527 Drive Exception Action Definitions
Exception Action Definition
Ignore The controller completely ignores the exception condition. For some exceptions that are
fundamental to the operation of the planner, Ignore is not an available option.
Alarm The controller sets the associated bit in the Motion Alarm Status word, but does not
otherwise affect axis behavior. Like Ignore, if the exception is so fundamental to the
drive, Alarm is not an available option. When an exception action is set to Alarm, the
Alarm goes away by itself when the exceptional condition has cleared.
Fault Status Only – Minor Fault Like Alarm, Fault Status Only instructs the controller to set the associated bit in the
Motion Fault Status word, but does not otherwise affect axis behavior. However, unlike
Alarm an explicit Fault Reset is required to clear the fault once the exceptional condition
has cleared.
Like Ignore and Alarm, if the exception is so fundamental to the drive, Fault Status Only
is not an available option.
Stop Planner – Minor Fault The controller sets the associated bit in the Motion Fault Status word and instructs the
Motion Planner to perform a controlled stop of all planned motion at the configured
maximum deceleration rate and holds at zero speed. An explicit Fault Reset is required
to clear the fault once the exceptional condition has cleared. If the exception is so
fundamental to the drive, Stop Planner is not an available option.
Stop Drive – Major Fault When the exception occurs, the associated bit in the Fault Status word is set and the
axis comes to a stop by using the stopping action that is defined by the drive for the
particular exception that occurred. There is no controller based configuration to specify
what the stopping action is, the stopping action is device dependent.
Shutdown – Major Fault When the exception occurs, the drive brings the motor to a stop by using the stopping
action defined by the drive (as in Stop Drive) and the power module is disabled. An
explicit Shutdown Reset is required to restore the drive to operation.
Only selected drive exceptions are configurable. In the fault behavior tables, the
controlling attribute is given for programmable fault actions.

To replace the internal fan, you must separate the control module from the power
module. Do not perform this operation while the drive is running. See the
PowerFlex 527 Control Module Internal Fan Kit Installation Instructions,
publication 520-IN014 for detailed instructions.
ATTENTION: Temperature inside the control module may exceed 80 °C (176 °F)
when the internal fan is not working. Wait for the control module to cool down
before replacing the internal fan.
ATTENTION: Take caution when replacing the internal fan as static damage
may occur to sensitive components inside the drive.

can be used to set the analog output of the PowerFlex 527 drive to either
Attribute current (mA) or voltage (V).
Verify that the Analog Out jumper ( J2) is also set to the same value. See Analog

3. Press down firmly on the encoder option card until it snaps together with
the control module.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the encoder option card from the bottom as it may damage the
card and the locking mechanism on the control module.
Encoder Option Card Usage PowerFlex 527 drives support an optional encoder card. The encoder supports up
to 250 kHz dual channel at 5V, 12V, or 24V and requires the optional encoder
board to be installed.
When the axis configuration is set to Position or Velocity loop, the Feedback
Configuration is enabled.
In the Motor Feedback configuration, enter the resolution of the encoder used.
Encoder Interface
The incremental encoder option card can source 5V or 12V power and accept 5V,
12V, or 24V single ended or differential inputs. See Appendix B for ordering
information.
Output DIP switch selects 12V or 5V power that is supplied at terminals “+V” and
“Cm” for the encoder.
HTL TTL (ON) HTL/TTL DIP Set the position of the DIP switches based on the type of encoder signal
switches used. You must set all switches to the same position.
(1) When using 12V Encoder power, 24V I/O power, maximum output current at I/O Terminal 11 is 50 mA.
(2) If Encoder requires 24V power, it must be supplied by an external power source.
IMPORTANT A quadrature encoder provides rotor speed and direction. Therefore, the
encoder must be wired such that the forward direction matches the motor
forward direction. If the drive is reading encoder speed but the position
regulator or other encoder function is not working properly, remove power to
the drive and swap the A and A (NOT) encoder channels or swap any two motor
leads.

This feature is only available on 25-ENC-2/B encoders. Set the three switches to
HTL (default) or TTL (On) based on the type of encoder signal you are using in
your application. You must set all switches to the same position.

HTL <3.5V >5V
Wiring Notes The encoder option card can supply 5V or 12V power (250 mA maximum) for
an encoder. Verify that the DIP switch is set properly for the encoder. In general,
12V provides higher noise immunity.
The encoder can handle 5V, 12V, or 24V inputs. The inputs automatically adjust
to the voltage applied and no additional drive adjustment is necessary.
IMPORTANT A quadrature encoder provides rotor speed and direction. Therefore, the
encoder must be wired such that the forward direction matches the motor
forward direction. If the drive is reading encoder speed but the position
regulator or other encoder function is not working properly, remove power to
the drive and swap the A and A (NOT) encoder channels or swap any two motor
leads.
