PowerFlex 527 AC Drive Specifications

Product Overview

PowerFlex® 527 AC drives are designed to be used with an Allen-Bradley® Logix Programmable Automation Controller

(PAC). Ideal for machines that can benefit from the same drive configuration experience for both servo and AC drives, the

PowerFlex 527 drive features a built-in dual port for EtherNet/IP™ and safety over the network. The PowerFlex 527 drive

provides maximum flexibility and performance ranging up to 30 HP and 22 kW.

Designed to connect and operate only with the ControlLogix® 1756-L7x, GuardLogix® 1756-L7xS, and CompactLogix™

5370 controllers and Studio 5000 Logix Designer™ application. The PowerFlex 527 is programmed with the embedded

motion instructions within Studio 5000, these are the same instructions that are used for Allen-Bradley Kinetix® servo

drives. This streamlined approach provides a common user experience and just one software package to learn and use. The

commonality and use of consolidated integration tools helps save valuable engineering time.

Maximize your system performance and productivity by taking advantage of the following key features offered in a

PowerFlex 527 drive.

are independently isolated from the rest of the drive

I/O.

•Four (4) Digital Inputs provide application versatility.

•One (1) Analog Output is jumper selectable between

either 0-10V or 0-20 mA. This scalable, 10-bit output

is suitable for metering or as a speed reference for

another drive.

•Two (2) Opto Outputs and two (2) Relay Outputs

(one form A and one form B) can be used to indicate

various drive, motor or logic conditions.

Communications

•Built-in dual port for EtherNet/IP allows easy

configuration, control, and collection of drive data over

the network. It also supports Device Level Ring (DLR)

topologies, providing fault-tolerant connectivity for

Common DC Bus Installations

Common DC Bus offers additional inherent breaking capabilities by utilizing all the drives/loads on the bus for energy

absorption offering higher efficiency and cost savings. The PowerFlex 527 drive has been optimized for use in Common

DC Bus or Shared DC Bus installations.

•Direct DC Bus connection to power terminal blocks.

Improved Ride Through

Operation Down to 1/2 Line Voltage

The PowerFlex 527 drive allows for the selection of 1/2 DC Bus operation, for use in critical applications where continued

drive output is desired even in the event of brown out or low voltage conditions. The PowerFlex 527 drive also supports

enhanced inertia ride through for additional low voltage mitigation.

•Selectable 1/2 line voltage operation.

•Increased power loss ride through.

Basic Position Control

Closed loop position control using Logix motion instructions such as MAM (Motion Axis Move). For more information

on Logix motion instructions, see the Logix5000 Motion Controllers Instructions Reference Manual, publication

MOTION-RM002.

Closed Loop Feedback

Encoder Option Card

The PowerFlex 527 drive allows for configurable closed loop control with an optional encoder card for either speed or

position feedback for improved speed regulation or basic position control.

Safety Inside using Safe Torque-Off Function

Safe Torque-off is a standard feature that can be applied through either hardwired safety or Integrated Safety via an

EtherNet/IP network. Safe Torque-Off allows you to restart your application faster after a safety-related situation.

•Safe Torque-Off functionality removes rotational power without powering down the drive.

•Built-in safety reduces wiring and saves on installation space.

•Meets ISO 13849-1 standards and provides safety ratings up to and including SIL 3/PLe.

Communications and Software

Versatile Programming and Network Solutions

•A network can be configured using

PowerFlex 527 drives for flexible configuration

capabilities.

•Built-in dual port for EtherNet/IP

EtherNet/IP is an established, broadly adopted

network that helps simplify and enhance machine

design and operation. Dual-port EtherNet/IP

connectivity supports linear and ring topologies as well

as device level ring (DLR) functionality.

The application of the CIP Safety protocol enables the

simultaneous transmission of safety and standard

control data and diagnostics information through

EtherNet/IP.

PC Programming Software

Studio 5000 Logix Designer

•PowerFlex 527 drives are designed to be used exclusively with Allen Bradley Logix controllers.

•Drives are programmed using the motion instructions in Studio 5000 Logix Designer(1).

•PowerFlex 527 drives feature drive configuration that is stored in the Logix controller, supporting fast, automatic

device replacement.

(1) Studio 5000 Logix Designer (formerly RSLogix 5000) version 24 or greater is required.
