McNaughton-McKay’s Drives Product Manager, Bruce Karjala, has created this video to provide an aid when it comes to uploading/downloading and saving files using Rockwell Automation’s Connected Components Workbench with PowerFlex drives. We will connect the PF525 drive using the DSI serial port with a 1203-USB cable. Many drives are connected via Ethernet to Compact or Control Logix processors, and using the add on profiles, the drives back up parameters and settings are stored in the ACD file of the PLC. The 1203-USB is an excellent tool for you to be able to back up if you are using any communications to the PowerFlex drive. The 1203 USB has a cable that connects to your PC USB port, then an anaconda converter to the drive cable with the DSI RJ485 plug.
This connects to the red DSI port of the PF525. All component class drives in the PF family like the 4, 4M, 40, 400 and 520 series use this same connection.
The 1203-USB also comes with a DPI cable for connection to architecture class drives such as the 70, 700s and 750 series. Once we connect the cable from the PC to the drive, the green light on the anaconda will begin to flash green establishing the connection. We will then use Connected Components Workbench to access the drive via the 1203-USB.Website: www.mc-mc.comContact Us: 844-687-6262 orSubscribe on YouTube.LinkedIn:Facebook.Twitter:Blog:Our videos are made available for your convenience and we hope you find them helpful.

We have started using new families of Rockwell Automation drives, PowerFlex 525 and Powerflex 753. In the drives manual there is chart that showing drives input current rating and output current rating. On these charts output current rating is greater than input current rating.It is opposite that in manuals for Fowerflex 40 and Powerflex 70. For these drives rated input current is greater than output rated current. It is kind of going alone with the fact that there will be some power losses, and resulting drive output current will be slightly less than input current.When I ask that question technical support the answer was:'here is the answer form engineeringThe input current is a function of the power factor of the motor, the power factor of the power system and drive, and efficiencies of each part of the system.
It is common to have a published output current higher than the input current for some drive ratings'Is it really common to have rated output current higher than input current? How other drive manufacturers are rating ther drives?PaulBr.RE: PowerFlex 525 and 753 current rating. (Electrical) 5 Nov 13 15:34. I think you are reading something wrong. I'm looking at a PF40 manual and a PF70 manual, both are showing the input current as lower than the output current, as does the PF525 manual. Where are you getting your information?A VFD essentially corrects the displacement power factor of the motor as seen by the drive.
So if the motor PF is.8, and the input PF to the drive is.95, then the input amps will be lower.' Will work for (the memory of) salami'RE: PowerFlex 525 and 753 current rating. (Electrical) 5 Nov 13 16:15.
