Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may
contain high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove all power
from the PowerFlex drive, and then verify power has been discharged
before installing or removing the option module.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel
familiar with drive and power products and the associated machinery
should plan or implement the installation, startup, configuration, and
subsequent maintenance of the drive using the option module. Failure to
comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The option module
contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be damaged
if you do not follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are
required when handling the option module. If you are unfamiliar with static
control procedures, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage,
publication
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the option
module is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when
you reset the option module. Determine how your drive will respond before
resetting the module.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host
Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action], and 34 - [Idle Flt Action] let you
determine the action of the option module and connected drive if I/O
communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, or Acyclic messaging for
drive control is disrupted. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You
can set these parameters so that the drive continues to run, however,
precautions should be taken to verify that the settings of these parameters
do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning
the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations
(for example, a disconnected cable or a controller in idle state).
8000-4.5.2.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is
configured for the first time, there may be unintended or incorrect machine
motion. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial
system testing.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in
this publication are intended solely for purposes of example. There are
many variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell

TIP
Connecting the Option
Module to the Drive
Remove power from the drive before installing the option module in the
drive control pod.
1. Insert the option module into Port 4, 5, or 6 and tighten the module
mounting screws into the pod mounting bracket. To properly ground the
module to the drive, torque both mounting screws to 0.45…0.67 N•m
(4.0…6.0 lb•in).
2. When another module (I/O, encoder, communication, and so forth)
resides in the adjacent port to the left of the 20-750-PBUS option
module—and the lower mounting screw of that module is a larger T15
Torx head screw, perform addition steps 2a through 2d. If the port is
empty or the adjacent module already uses the smaller T8 Torx head
mounting screws, save this spare screw for future use.
The option module is shipped with a small bag containing a spare T8 Torx
head mounting screw and an adhesive-backed polycarbonate insulator
strip. The larger T15 Torx head mounting screw on the adjacent left
module may electrically contact the metal Profibus cable connector when
attached to the Profibus module. The polycarbonate insulator strip is
provided to prevent electrical contact between the smaller T8 Torx head
mounting screw and the Profibus cable metal connector when attached to
the Profibus module. Either of these possible electrical contact situations
may cause faulty operation. To prevent this, perform the following steps.
a. Remove the adjacent module’s lower mounting screw, the T15 Torx
head screw closest to the bottom of the pod mounting bracket.
To remove the captive T15 Torx head screw, the module must be
removed to back the screw out of the mounting clip.
b. Replace the larger T15 Torx head screw with the smaller, spare T8 Torx
head mounting screw.
c. Tighten the mounting screw to the pod mounting bracket to properly
ground the adjacent module to the drive. Torque the screw to
0.45…0.67 N•m (4.0…6.0 lb•in).
d. Attach the adhesive-backed polycarbonate strip to the metal Profibus
cable connector in a location that prevents electrical contact between
the connector and the adjacent module’s lower mounting screw when
the connector is attached to the Profibus module.

Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters
The PowerFlex 750-Series drive can be separately configured for the control and
Reference functions in various combinations. For example, you could set the drive
to receive control commands from a peripheral or terminal block, with the
Reference coming from the network. You could also set the drive to receive its
control from the network with the Reference coming from another peripheral or
terminal block. Or you could set the drive to receive both its control and
Reference from the network.
The following steps in this section assume that the drive will receive the Logic
Command and Reference from the network.
1. Verify that drive parameter 301 - [Access Level] is set to ‘1’ (Advanced) or
‘2’ (Expert) to access the required parameters in this procedure.
2. Use drive Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed
Reference source:
a. Set the Port field to ‘0’ as shown below.
b. Set the Parameter field to point to the port (slot) in which the option
module is installed (for example, Port 4 Reference).
The number ‘874’ in the Parameter field of the example dialog box
above is the parameter in the drive that points to the port.
3. Verify that drive Parameter 930 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that the
source of the Reference to the drive (Port 0) is the port in which the option
module is installed (for example, Port 4 Reference).
This ensures that any Reference commanded from the network can be

monitored by using drive Parameter 002 - [Commanded SpdRef ]. If a

problem occurs, this verification step provides the diagnostic capability to
determine whether the drive/option module or the network is the cause.
4. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive, verify
that all unused digital input drive parameters are set to ‘0’ (Not Used).

Configuration Tools
The option module stores parameters and other information in its own
nonvolatile storage (NVS) memory. You must, therefore, access the option
module to view and edit its parameters. The following tools can be used to access
the option module parameters.

For the HIM screens shown throughout this chapter, the option module
was installed in drive Port 4. If your option module is installed in a
different drive port, that port would appear instead of Port 4.
