In addition to being designed to worldwide standards and ratings that allow out-of-the-box performance around the globe, PowerFlex 4 AC drives have:

Product Features

  • Flexible Packaging and Mounting Options
    • Installation can be a virtual snap using the DIN rail mounting feature on A and B frame drives.
    • Flange mount drives are available to reduce overall enclosure size.
    • Zero Stacking™ is allowable for ambient temperatures up to 40°C, saving valuable panel space. 50°C ambient temperatures are permitted with minimal spacing between drives.
  • Easy to Start up and Operate
    • Integral keypad features a 4 digit display and 10 additional LED indicators providing intuitive control.
    • The keypad and control keys and local potentiometer are active out of the box, simplifying start up.
    • The 10 most commonly programmed parameters are grouped together for fast and easy start up.
  • Versatile Programming and Network Solutions
    • Integral RS485 communications enable the drives to be used in a multi-drop network configuration. A serial converter module provides connectivity to any controller that has the ability to initiate DF1 messaging.
    • DriveExplorer™ and DriveTools™ SP software can be used to program, monitor and control the drives.
    • A NEMA/UL Type 4X remote and NEMA/UL Type 1 handheld LCD keypad provide additional programming and control flexibility, both featuring the popular CopyCat function.

Premier Integration with PowerFlex AC Drives
For simplified AC drive start-up and reduced development time using the Allen-Bradley® Logix control platform, we've integrated PowerFlex® AC 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.
