Allen-Bradley® Drives
Reliable Performance. Cost-Effective Solutions.
For almost any application you have, and any power requirement you need, you’ll find the solution in the Allen-Bradley® PowerFlex® family of drives from Rockwell Automation. For motor control applications from low to medium voltage, and from simple to complex, the PowerFlex family of drives from 0.2 kW (0.25 Hp) to 25.4 MW (34000 Hp) offer world-class intelligent motor control solutions.
Because you have a wide range of control needs, PowerFlex drives offer a variety of motor control technologies, from Volts/Hertz Control for the simplest applications, to Vector Control with patented FORCE™ Technology, which provides excellent low speed/zero speed performance for both induction and permanent magnet motors.
Total, Flexible Control
So your business can benefit from the very beginning, PowerFlex drives have been designed as a family right from the start. Featuring an advanced, common operator interface, PowerFlex drives reduce training and simplify operation. With a consistent programming structure, common PC tools (for programming, monitoring and troubleshooting), consistent parameter names and descriptions, PowerFlex drives reduce set-up time and costs because any user can move easily from one drive to another across the family. The PowerFlex drive family offers a compact, Zero Stacking™ design, allowing side-by-side mounting to optimize panel space.
Seamless Control System Integration Maximizes Your Uptime
To help you gain the most from your automation investment, PowerFlex drives utilize open network architecture to integrate your manufacturing process from shop floor to top floor. PowerFlex drives provide common features and services for DeviceNet™, ControlNet™, EtherNet/IP™, as well as supporting universal Remote I/O, RS485, PROFIBUS™ DP, Interbus™, LonWorks®, BACnet®, and Bluetooth® technology.
Premier Integration With PowerFlex Drives
For simplified drive start-up and reduced development time using the Allen-Bradley® Logix control platform, we’ve integrated PowerFlex® drive configuration with RSLogix™ 5000 software. This single-software approach simplifies parameter and tag programming while still allowing stand-alone drive software tool use on the factory floor.
