Add a Powerflex 525 drive to a Controllogix Compactlogix over Ethernet

In this lesson we show you how to add an Ethernet device to your Controllogix or Compactlogix PLC. While we adding a Powerflex 525 drive to a Compactlogix PLC in this video, the principles are the same for adding any Ethernet device to a Controllogix or Compactlogix PLC in Studio 5000.

Thank you for your videos. I have done quite a bit of programming (allen bradley, automation direct, and others) but i always like witching and learning new things. You do a great job of explaining. Thank you for your time and dedication.

sim como faço ? Outra dúvida estou precisando fazer um controle quando a frequência de pulsos aumentar do encoder quero que diminua a frequência do inversor, nesse caso um controle inversamente proporcional, qual o parâmetro devo alterar pra fazer esse controle inverso no Pf525? Desse já agradeço!

If my drive fails and I replace it do you have a vid on how to load the old parameters to it along with set up Ethernet connection?

[rxplusplates]

Great videos as always! If i am using a momentary foot pedal to control the powerflex can I use the start command in the "Jog" output instead of the start?

Tim, how do you get that IP address you used on the VFD? do you just make that IP address up or do you get it from somewhere on studio? I'm assuming you make that number up from the last IP address you added?

How can I get one of the trainer boards that you use in your videos and what's the price?

Hi, thanks for all of your videos, really useful for me. Please could you tell me, how the plc keep the parameters for those inverters, I meanimg, we have a powerflex 225 burned out and we just set the IP on his HMI and all parameters was set and it works as built. How it happened? Thanks.

Tim excelent video I highly appreciate yours support for showing it😀

Subscribed. Your a good man, I’m a fellow controls engineer. Work with AB on a daily basis.

how do i know which revision i have to put when im adding the drive? Thanks

[anthonybuddini]

Hi Tim, thank you for the information. Very useful video...

[guangyaoli]

Thank you very much for your answer boss! One more question is if I use wifi in a plant. How to set ip address to match plc inrslink?Could you make a viedo show?

[keithhoffman-qq]

good video
i have a question
i need to know how to get a micro 800 plc to set the powerflex drive parameters on power-up via ethernet/ip or dsi and if any additional hardware is required other than ethernet cables

Hello, So I had power flex 70 but it is now obselete and I replaced it with 525 so I followed same steps but I am getting module not configured after the download how do I fix that ? Also sometimes I can ping my PLC but when I try to connect to it it takes so long and sometimes it works and sometimes not what could be the issues ?Thank you

[balabala-fwgi]

Nice video sir, I learn AB plc and drives for your video reference.

[jacksonsimon]

I enjoyed this tutorial session. I already learned a lot from you. Can you show me how to program an Allen Bradley 523 VFD with my laptop?

Tim, Thank you so much for share !!!!

Tim, I love you videos but this one brings up a question.
The two ways you show to turn on and turn off the drive produce the same result but the first one is instantly recognizable as on-off and the second must be interpreted you might say. To the average person the first is easier to understand. Green button turns it on, red button turns it off. The second example has a latch which is not needed, otherwise they are the same. Both take two rungs. What is the benefit of using the harder to read method?

Hello, is there anyway to add the powerflex 525 to a version 13 controller project? I have to AOP downloaded but they won't show up, when I try to add the 525 to the ethernet module in the tree? I found AOP's for ver.16-19 on the Rockwell site.

does IP have to match PLC? as in the first 3 numbers. BTW I followed the steps and it didnt work, I connected drive to workbench and double checked everything (realized my drive was 1.003 and was set up as 7.001). Long story short, nothing seemed to work until I cycled drive power and than boom.... magic.
