The line current and voltage waveforms are also shown in Figure 1.2.
The line current THD is approximately 4.5%, while line-to-line
voltage THD is approximately 1.5%. (THD of line voltage is a
function of system impedance.) Input power factor with the AFE
rectifier is near unity throughout a typical operating speed range for
variable torque loads.

The AFE rectifier can be used in conjunction with a rectifier duty
isolation transformer or with an AC line reactor (as shown in Figure 1.2).
Isolation transformers are available:
1) Integral to the Drive
2) Remote indoor dry type, or
3) Outdoor oil-filled type
This allows for maximum flexibility in dealing with floor space,
installation cost and control room air conditioner loading.
“Direct-to-Drive” Technology Reduce the cost, size and weight of your medium voltage drive
system with the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 7000 with Direct-to-Drive
technology. This is the first and only technology that allows you to
directly connect a medium voltage drive to utility power without the
requirement of an isolation transformer. Isolation transformers with
multiple secondary windings are required for traditional AC drives to
address line-side harmonic concerns and common mode voltage.
However, typical isolation transformers are large, heavy, costly,
complex and inefficient. Direct-to-Drive technology combines an
Active Front End (AFE) rectifier to dramatically lower line-side
harmonics and a patented DC link inductor to address common mode
voltage at its source. By addressing harmonics and common mode
voltage, the isolation transformer becomes redundant. This reduces
system complexity to maximize uptime and increases system
efficiency to lower operational costs. Exceptional output voltage and
current waveforms, true of our entire product line, make this ideal for
retrofit applications and allow the use of standard motors for new
applications.

1-6 Overview of Drive
Motor CompatibilityThe PowerFlex 7000 achieves near sinusoidal current and voltage
waveforms to the motor, resulting in no significant additional heating
or insulation stress. Temperature rise in the motor connected to the
VFD is typically 3 °C (5.4 °F) higher compared to across-the-line
operation. Voltage waveform has dv/dt of less than 10 volts per
microsecond. Reflected wave and dv/dt issues often associated with
VSI (voltage source inverter) drives do not exist with the PowerFlex
7000. Typical motor waveforms are shown in Figure 1.3. These
motor friendly waveforms are achieved by utilizing a selective
harmonic elimination (SHE) pattern in the inverter to eliminate
major order harmonics, in conjunction with a small output capacitor
(integral to the drive) to eliminate harmonics at higher speeds.
Standard motors are compatible without de-rating, even on retrofit
applications.
Motor cable distance is virtually unlimited. This technology is capable
of controlling motors up to 15 km (9.3 miles) away from the drive.

General Handling Procedures Refer to “General Handling Procedures for PowerFlex 7000 Medium
Voltage Drives”, publication no. 7000-IN002_-EN-P supplied in the
drive shipment (affixed to the drive). Additional copies can be
ordered through your local Rockwell Automation Sales office.
Drive StorageIf it is necessary to store the drive, be certain to store in a clean dry
dust free area.
Storage temperature should be maintained between -40°C and 70°C
(-40°F and 185°F). If storage temperature fluctuates or if humidity
exceeds 95%, space heaters should be used to prevent condensation.
The drive should be stored in a heated building having adequate air
circulation. The drive must never be stored outdoors.
The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), National
Electrical Code (NEC), or local codes outline
provisions for safely installing electrical
equipment. Installation MUST comply with
specifications regarding wire type, conductor
sizes, branch circuit protection and disconnect
devices. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.

2-2 Drive Installation
Siting of the Drive Site Considerations
The standard environment in which the equipment is designed to
operate is:
• Elevation above sea level less than 1000 meters (3250 feet)
• Ambient air temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F)
• Relative humidity of the air not to exceed 95% non-condensing
For the equipment to operate in conditions other than those specified
consult the local Rockwell Automation Sales office.
The equipment requires the following site conditions:
(A) Indoor installation only, no dripping water or other fluids
(B) Clean air for cooling requirements
(C) Level floor for anchoring the equipment. Refer to dimension
drawings for the location of the anchoring points.
(D) The room in which the equipment is located must allow for full
opening of the doors of the equipment, typically 1200 mm
(48 inches). Also, allowances have to be made for clearance
for fan removal. This fan allowance must be greater than 700
mm (27.5 inches) above the drive.
or
Dimension drawings can be obtained by contacting the local
Rockwell Automation Sales office. The equipment does not
require rear access for servicing.
(E) Allowance must be made for the stream of cooling air which
exits the drive at the top. The flow of cooling air into and out
the drive must be kept clear and uninhibited.
(F) The room in which the equipment is located must be large
enough to accommodate the thermal losses of the equipment
since air conditioning may be required; the ambient
temperature must not exceed that for which the equipment is
rated. The heat created by the drive is directly proportional to
the power of the motor being driven and the efficiency of
equipment within the room. If thermal load data is required
contact the Rockwell Automation Sales office.
(G) The area in which the drive is located should be free of radio
frequency interference such as encountered with some welding
units. This may cause erroneous fault conditions and shut
down the drive.
7000A-UM151D-EN-P – March 2013 7000 “A” Frame
Drive Installation 2-3
(H) The equipment must be kept clean. Dust in the equipment
decreases system reliability and inhibits cooling.
(I) Power cable lengths to the motor are virtually unlimited due to
the near sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms. Unlike
voltage source drives, there are no capacitive coupling, dv/dt,
or peak voltage issues that can damage the motor insulation
system. The topology utilized in the PowerFlex 7000 medium
voltage AC drive does not produce dv/dt or peak voltage
problems, and has been tested with motors located up to 15
kilometers from the drive.
(J) Only personnel familiar with the function of the drive should
have access to the equipment.
(K) The drive is designed for front access and should be installed
with adequate and safe clearance to allow for total door
opening. The back of the unit may be placed against a wall
although some customers prefer back access also.

Generator Note:
A T T E N T IONA T T E N T I O N
An incorrectly applied or installed drive can
result in component damage or a reduction in
product life. Ambient conditions not within
the specified ranges may result in
malfunction of the drive.
Verify that the load is not turning due to the
process. A freewheeling motor can generate
voltage that will be back-fed to the equipment
being worked on.

2-4 Drive Installation
Installation When the drive has been placed at its installation area, the lag bolts
that fasten the shipping skid to the drive must be removed. The drive
is moved off the shipping skid and the shipping skid can be
discarded.
Position the drive in its desired location. Verify that the drive is on a
level surface and that the position of the drive will be vertical when
the anchor bolts are installed.
The location of the anchor points is provided with the dimension
drawing of the drive.
Install and tighten the anchor bolts. (M12 or ½” hardware required).
Engineering bolt systems are required for seismic requirements.
Consult factory.
Remove the top lifting angles, retain the hardware.
Install the hardware from the lifting angles in the tapped holes at the
top of drive; this prevents leakage of cooling air as well as keeping
dust out of the equipment.
Installation of Exhaust Air Hood
On the top of the cabinet with the cooling fan, a sheet metal exhaust
hood is to be installed. The components to make up the exhaust
hood have been packaged and shipped with the drive. (For drives
with an acoustic hood, the components are shipped assembled. See
Figure 2.2)
The first step is to remove the protective plate covering the fan
opening on the drive. It is a flat cover plate bolted to the top plate.
Remove the bolts and plate and set aside for re-use.
Secondly, loosely assemble the two L-shaped panel components
shipped with the drive as per Figure 2.1.

IEC Component and
PowerFlex 7000 electrical drawings use conventions that are based
Device Designations
on IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards, while
remaining basically compatible with North American ANSI
(American National Standards Institute) standards. The symbols
used to identify components on the drawings are international and a
full listing of the symbols is given as part of each PowerFlex 7000
electrical drawing (ED) set. The device designations used on the
drawings and labeling are also listed with explanations on each
drawing set.
Wiring identification uses a source/destination wire number
convention on point to point multi-conductor wiring and in situations
where the system is warranted. The wire-numbering system of
unique, single numbers for multi-drop and point to point wiring
continues to be used for general control and power wiring. Wiring
that connects between the sheets or that ends at one point and starts
at another point on a drawing has an arrow and drawing reference to
indicate the ongoing connection. The drawing reference indicates
the sheet and the X/Y coordinates of the continuation point. The
reference system is explained on a sheet in each drawing set. The
unique wire numbering system serves as confirmation that the
correct wire is being traced from sheet to sheet or across a drawing.
Wires in multi-conductor cables are typically identified by color
rather than by number. The abbreviations used to identify the colors
on the drawings are fully identified on a sheet in the drawing set.
Power Wiring Selection The following tables identify general wire selections that will be
encountered when installing the PowerFlex 7000 “A” Frame drive
line-up.
General Notes:
Adherence to the following recommended field power cabling
insulation levels for medium voltage drives will help to ensure
trouble-free start-up and operation. The cable insulation level must
be increased over that which would be supplied for an Across-theline application with the same rated line to line voltage.
Either shielded or unshielded cable may be used based on the criteria
considered by the distribution system designer. However, NEC
requires shielded cables for installations above 2 kV.

Cable Insulation
The cable insulation requirements for the PowerFlex 7000 “A”
Frame drive are given in the tables below.
A T T E N T IONA T T E N T I O N
Voltage ratings shown in the following
tables are peak line-to-ground. Some cable
manufacturers rate voltage line-to-line RMS.
Ensure the cable meets the rating specified
in the following tables.
Cable Insulation Requirements for AFE Drives with Separate Isolation Transformer
System Voltage (V, RMS)
Cabling from secondary side of Isolation Transformer to input of VFD
Cable Insulation Requirements for “Direct-to-Drive” Technology or Integral
The following table identifies general wire categories that will be encountered when installing the
PowerFlex 7000 “A” Frame Drive. Each category has an associated wire group number that is used in the
following sections to identify the wire to be used. Application and signal examples along with the
recommended type of cable for each group are provided. A matrix providing the recommended minimum
spacing between different wire groups run in the same tray or separate conduit is also provided.
For Tray: Recommended spacing between different wire groups in the same tray.
Note 1: Steel conduit or cable tray may be used for all PowerFlex 7000 “A” Frame Drive power or control wiring, and steel conduit is required for all PowerFlex
7000 “A” Frame Drive signal wiring. All input and output power wiring, control wiring or conduit should be brought through the drive conduit entry holes of the
enclosure. Use appropriate connectors to maintain the environmental rating of the enclosure. The steel conduit is REQUIRED for all control and signal circuits,
when the drive is installed in European Union countries. The connection of the conduit to the enclosure shall be on full 360 degree and the ground bond at the
junction shall be less than 0.1 ohms. In EU countries this is a usual practice to install the control and signal wiring.
Note 2: Spacing between wire groups is the recommended minimum for parallel runs of 61 m (200 feet) or less.
Note 3: The customer is responsible for the grounding of shields. On drives shipped after November 28/02, the shields are removed from the drive boards. On
drives shipped prior to November 28/02, all shields are connected at the drive end and these connections must be removed before grounding the shield at the
customer end of the cable. Shields for cables from one enclosure to another must be grounded only at the source end cabinet. If splicing of shielded cables is
required, the shield must remain continuous and insulated from ground.
Note 4: AC and DC circuits must be run in separate conduits or trays.
Note 5: Voltage drop in motor leads may adversely affect motor starting and running performance. Installation and application requirements may dictate that
larger wire sizes than indicated in IEC / NEC guidelines are used.

The wire sizes must be selected individually, observing all applicable
safety and CEC, IEC or NEC regulations. The minimum permissible
wire size does not necessarily result in the best operating economy.
The minimum recommended size for the wires between the drive and
the motor is the same as that used with an across-the-line starter.
The distance between the drive and motor may affect the size of the
conductors used.
Consult the wiring diagrams and appropriate CEC, IEC or NEC
regulations to determine correct power wiring. If assistance is
needed, contact your local Rockwell Automation Sales Office.
Power Cabling Access The drive is built with provision for either the top or bottom power
cable entry.
Cable access plates are provided on the top and bottom plates of the
connection cabinet identified by the customer specific dimension
drawing (DD).
To access the customer power cable terminations
Cable connections are located behind the medium voltage door of the
Connection/Cabling cabinet. Location of power terminals for
various drive configurations are as indicated in Figures 2.21, 2.19
and 2.22.
In the case of the cabling cabinet with starter, the removal of internal
barriers and duct covers located on the left side of the cabinet may be
required to facilitate the routing of line cables. This can be
accomplished by removing the hardware securing the barrier/cover
and sliding it toward the front of the cabinet for removal. In addition
the fan housing and cover plate (if already installed) located on the
top of the cabinet must be removed to allow routing and termination
of line cables. All barriers/covers must be replaced, by reversing the
above sequence, before applying medium voltage.
The installer is responsible for modifying the power cable access
plates to suit their requirements.
Note that appropriate connectors must be used to maintain the
environmental rating of the enclosure.

Power and Control WiringDrive line-ups (i.e. Drive and Input Starter) which are delivered in
two or more sections, for ease of handling, will require that the
power and control wiring be re-connected. After the sections are
brought together, the power and control wiring is to be re-connected
as per the schematic drawings provided.
Control Cables
Control cable entry/exit should be located near the terminal block
'TBC' – the customer's connections are to be routed along the
empty side of the TBC terminals. These terminals are sized to
accept a maximum #14 AWG. The low voltage signals (includes
4-20mA) are to be connected using twisted shielded cable, with a
minimum #18 AWG.
Of special concern is the tachometer signal. Two tachometer inputs
are provided to accommodate a quadrature tachometer (senses motor
direction). The tachometer power supply is isolated and provides
+15 Volts and a ground reference. Many tachometer outputs have an
open collector output, in which case a pull-up resistor must be added
to ensure that proper signals are fed to the system logic. (Refer to
Appendix A "When is a Tachometer Required?" to see if one
needs to be supplied.)
Low voltage signals are to be connected using
I MP O R T A N TI M P O R T A N T
twisted shielded cable with the shield connected
at the signal source end only. The shield at the
other end is to be wrapped with electrical tape
and isolated. Connections are to be made as
shown on the electrical drawings (ED) provided.

Grounding Practices The purpose of grounding is to:
• provide for the safety of personnel
• limit dangerous voltages on exposed parts with respect to ground
• facilitate proper over current device operation under ground fault
conditions, and
• provide for electrical interference suppression
Generally, the means used for external grounding
Refer to the grounding diagrams that follow for ground connections.

Each power feeder from the substation transformer to the drive must
be provided with properly sized ground cables. Utilizing the conduit
or cable armor as a ground is not adequate.
Note that if a drive isolation transformer is used, the WYE secondary
neutral point should not be grounded.
Each AC motor frame must be bonded to grounded building steel
within 6 m (20 feet) of its location and tied to the drive's ground
bus via ground wires within the power cables and/or conduit. The
conduit or cable armor should be bonded to ground at both ends.
Grounding Guidelines and Practices for Drive Signal and Safety
Grounds
When interface cables carrying signals where the frequency does not
exceed 1 MHz are attached for communications with the drive, the
following general guidelines should be followed:
• It is good practice for the mesh of a screen to be grounded
around its whole circumference, rather than forming a pigtail that
is grounded at one point.
• Coaxial cables with a single conductor surrounded by a mesh
screen should have the screen grounded at both ends.
• Where a multi-layer screened cable is used (that is, a cable with
both a mesh screen and a metal sheath or some form of foil), there
are two alternative methods:
– The mesh screen may be grounded at both ends to the metal
sheath. The metal sheath or foil (known as the drain) should,
unless otherwise specified, be grounded at one end only,
again, as specified above, at the receiver end or the end which
is physically closest to the main equipment ground bus.
or
– The metal sheath or foil may be left insulated from ground
and the other conductors and the mesh cable screen
grounded at one end only as stated above

other phases develops a ground fault. In practice, the cable
insulation of an ungrounded, three-phase system must be good for at
least a continuous voltage of root three (1.732) times (1.1) times the
rated voltage of the supply. (1.732 x 1.1 = 1.9 times the rated lineto-line voltage)
The ground bus is accessible at the top of each of the drive
enclosures when the enclosure door is opened (and the low voltage
compartment hinged out in the case of the DC link/fan cabinet). It is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the drive is grounded
properly, typically at the point on the ground bus in the cabling
cabinet, close to the line cable terminations.

Drive Installation 2-37
InterlockingAccess to the medium voltage areas of the drive is restricted by the
use of key interlocking for safety.
At installation the key interlocking is set up so that access to the
medium voltage compartments of the equipment can only be made
when the upstream power is locked in the off position.
Additionally, the key interlocking prohibits the upstream power
being applied until the medium voltage drive’s access doors have
been closed and locked shut.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the key
interlocking is installed properly to the upstream equipment.

Chapter Objectives
The chapter deals only with the operation of the operator interface.
This chapter describes how you use the operator interface to modify
and obtain information contained within the drive. In this chapter
you will learn how to:
• Modify information associated with the initial drive setup.
• View: - drive parameters
- drive status
• View and Reset Alarm Conditions.
• Request printouts of the information in the drive.
• Perform diagnostic trending.
• Modify the operation of the operator interface.
Specific references to a particular parameter are only for illustrative
purposes. Refer to PowerFlex 7000 Medium Voltage AC Drive • Technical Data (Publication 7000-TD002_-EN-P) for information
about the actual 'tags' within the drive and their use.
TerminologyParameter – A memory location within the drive to which data may
be written to or read. Setting a parameter (i.e. writing to it) will
modify how the drive behaves. Prior to using the drive a number of
parameters must be set. Additional parameters may be changed
while the drive is in use in order to adjust its operation, (i.e. the
speed could be changed via a parameter).
Read-only Parameter – A memory location which can only be read.
A read-only parameter contains real-time data and is used to read the
current conditions within the drive, such as running speed.
Tag – A generic reference to either a parameter or a read-only
parameter.

Operator Interface 3-3
Overview The operator interface used on the PowerFlex 7000 Medium Voltage
Drive is that of the PanelView 550 terminal (Figure 3.1). This
terminal however does not behave as a PanelView, as only the
hardware for the operator interface has been utilized. The
PanelView software has been replaced with unique software to tailor
it to the requirements of the Medium Voltage Drive, and its faceplate
has been modified (Figure 3.1).
Keypad The keypad of the operator interface consists of two rows of five
function keys (item 1 of Figure 3.1) located below the operator
interface display area (item 4 of Figure 3.1). In the lower right
corner of the operator interface are four keys, which will be referred
to as the cursor keys (item 2 of Figure 3.1). Above the cursor keys
are data entry keys consisting of the numeric values 0-9, a decimal
point (.), a negative (-), a backspace key and a data entry key (item 3
of Figure 3.1).
All keys are of a membrane type. The key is executed upon release.
Function (Softkeys) Keys
Along the bottom of the display area is one or two rows of 'Softkeys'.
These 'Softkeys' represent the physical function keys. The function
of the actual keys will vary between displays. The bottom row of
keys (i.e. F6-F10) is always shown. The upper row is shown only if
they are required for keys (F2-F5). Thus a single row of 'Softkeys'
always refers to the keys F6-F10.
7000 “A” Frame 7000A-UM151D-EN-P – March 2013
3-4 Operator Interface
Even though the upper row of Softkeys (i.e. F1-F5) may not be
shown on some displays, the F1-HELP key is always active. (F2-F5)
are only active if shown.
Cursor (Selection) Keys
The cursor keys are normally used to select an item on the display.
When an item on the display is selected, that item will be displayed
in reverse video. To change the selection, press the key in the
desired direction.
On selection screens having more than one page, the page will
automatically change when the cursor is moved beyond the displayed
list.
Some displays, such as the Utility screen, use these keys to modify
the data value. Pressing the [cursor up] and [cursor down] keys will
change the value by a fine amount, i.e. 1 unit. Using the [cursor left]
and [cursor right] keys will change the value by a course amount, i.e.
10 units.
For entries requiring a HEX value, the keys (cursor up/down) are
used to scroll to the desired HEX value.
For parameters which contain an Enumeration string, pressing either
the up or down key will provide a list of options to pick from. Using
the cursor keys, make a selection and press enter. If more options
exist than can be displayed on the screen, a triangle symbol or
inverted triangle to the right of the list will show that there are more
selections available in the indicated direction. Continue to use the
up/down cursor keys to move to these additional selections.
For parameters that are comprised of bit fields, the left/right keys are
used to move to the desired bit field. The up and down keys toggle
the bit between its possible states.
All four cursor keys have an auto feature such that after holding the
key for 2 seconds, the key will automatically repeat at a rate of 5
‘presses’ per second.
Data Entry Keys
As the name implies, these keys are used to enter data. Pressing the
keys [0] to [9] will enter the corresponding value into the 'editing
field'. Pressing the [-] key will change the value to a negative
number. Pressing the [.] will allow a fractional value to be entered.
7000A-UM151D-EN-P – March 2013 7000 “A” Frame
Operator Interface 3-5
While entering a value, the value may be edited using the
[backspace] key. This key will remove the right most digit (or
decimal point or negative). The help screen uses the backspace key
to return to the previous level of help.
The enter key varies depending on the screen. If you are in the
process of a selection operation, the enter key will accept the
selection and proceed to a different screen based on the selection in
order to complete the operation. If you are in the process of entering
data, the enter key will accept the edited data.
What is a Screen? The operator interface uses menu driven screens to perform various
operations on the drive. You can think of a screen as a window or
template, overlaying data from the drive. The operator interface
combines a screen with the drive data, to formulate what you see on
the display area of the operator interface. Individual screens display
a particular type of data and allow selected operations to be
performed on this data. A number of different screens may be used
while performing a single operation.
Components
Although the data displayed on any particular screen will vary, the
general makeup of a screen is the same for all. Figure 3.2 shows a
typical screen and its components.

The upper left-hand corner contains the name of the screen (i.e.
SELECT GROUP:). Knowing the name of the screen will assist you
in the orientation of the menu system. On some screens to the right
of the screen name, will be the name of the selected item from the
previous screen as shown in Figure 3.3.
Some screens have more than one page associated with them. The
current page number and the number of pages which make up the
data currently being displayed on the screen is shown in the upper
right hand corner, (i.e. showing page 1 of 2 pages).
Along the bottom of the screen are one or two rows of 'Softkeys'
which represent the assignment to the actual function keys. In
Figure 3.2, Softkeys F6-F10 are shown. Pressing F8 will display the
next page of data.
In the very lower right-hand corner is a small dot. This dot indicates
the healthy state of the operator interface terminal. Under normal
conditions this dot will flash at a rate of .5 Hz. During
communication errors, the dot will flash at a rate of .1 Hz.
Figure 3.3 – Screen Name & Item
The remainder of the screen shows the data from the drive. The
presentation of the data is dependent on the screen. Screens that
allow an item to be selected show the current selection in reverse
video. An example of this is shown in Figure 3.2 in which the Speed
Control group is selected.
Information Windows
Numerous screens require communications with the drive in order to
function. At times, the duration of this activity will be noticeable to
you. During this activity, a special 'window' is used within the
current screen to inform you of this activity. The time required for
the activity will vary.
7000A-UM151D-EN-P – March 2013 7000 “A” Frame
Operator Interface 3-7
Accessing/Writing to Drive
When first powered up, the operator interface knows very little about
the information in the drive. As each screen is activated, the
operator interface requests information from the drive, which it will
store within the operator interface for future reference. When the
operator interface requests information from the drive, a window is
used to display a message "Accessing Drive ...". During this time,
the operator interface will not respond to any user input, until the
task at hand is completed. You will notice that subsequent activation
of the same screen for the same data will be much quicker since the
operator interface already has most or all of its required information.
You can selectively choose to download the complete database to the
operator interface on command, thus eliminating the initial access
delays. If uninterrupted, the operator interface will automatically
download the database on power-up, or during periods of inactivity.
Refer to the section on "Advanced Screen Operations - Database
Download".
Some screens require that information be written to the drive.
During this task, a window is used to display the message "Writing
to Drive...” During this time, the operator interface will not respond
to any user input, until the task at hand is completed.
Communication Error
While the operator interface is reading or writing to the drive, it is
possible for communications to be disrupted for a number of reasons.
If this were to occur, a special window is used to inform you of this.
During this time, the operator interface will not respond to any user
input, until the task at hand is completed.
The window for the "Communication Error" can take on two forms.
If a window has already been displayed showing "Accessing Drive"
or Writing to Drive", then the communication error message will be
added to the window already in use. Some screens constantly read
from the drive in order to show real-time data. An example of this is
the 'Top Level Menu’. When a communication error occurs on a
screen showing real-time data, a window is opened showing a box
around the "Communication Error". Two examples of this are
shown in Figures 3.4 and 3.5.
In both cases, once communications has been re-established, the
information window will be removed and the operator interface will
return to normal operation.

Figure 3.5 – Communications Error
Language Changing
When the language used by the drive changes, (either via the
operator interface or an external device), the operator interface must
do considerable work. The database strings are all invalidated, the
character set for the server is changed and all strings used by the
operator interface are linked to the new language. During this
possibly lengthy process, the “Language Changing ...” message is
displayed.
General Operation
The operations that can be performed on a screen vary depending on
the actual screen being displayed. The majority of the operations are
activated by the function keys located along the bottom of the screen.
Although the meaning of these keys does change from one screen to
the next, there are some functions which are available on most
screens and always have the same assignment.
The operations for these latter keys will not be explained within the
description of individual screen operations. They are explained here
and apply equally to all screens.

The F6 'Softkey' will always get you to the Alarm Summary Screen.
A new alarm will cause this key to flash in reverse video.
F8 - Next Page
When a screen is capable of displaying data that requires more than
one page, this 'Softkey' will be active. The 'Softkey' will increment
the page number being viewed.
F9 - Previous Page
When a screen is capable of displaying data that requires more then
one page, this 'Softkey' will be active. The 'Softkey' will decrement

Sequence through two noticeable operations:
a) Linking to Drive - During this phase the operator interface is
establishing communications with the drive communications
board. The screen will also show information about the software
product contained in the PowerFlex operator interface, such as:
- software part number and revision level
- date and time stamp of program creation

3-10 Operator Interface
b) Obtaining Drive Database - During this phase, the database of
information about the drive is obtained from the drive.
Obtaining the database at this point in time is optional and may
be aborted by pressing any key on the operator interface.
Obtaining the entire database does however speed up subsequent
operations since relevant portions of the database do not have to
be obtained. (Without obtaining the entire database, the operator
interface will access portions of the drive database as required.
This slows down the first access to the operation that requires the
data. Subsequent operations requiring the same data are not
affected). Aborting the download will not affect portions of the
database already obtained.
Once the database has been obtained, the operator interface will start
up in one of two modes, depending on to what degree the drive has
previously been configured:
a) On an unconfigured drive, the operator interface will enter the
'Setup Wizard' mode. Until the user has gone through the entire
'Setup Wizard', this will be the default mode to power up in. The
'Setup Wizard' can be cancelled at any time by pressing the
appropriate softkey.
b) Once the drive has been configured through the 'Setup Wizard',
the Top Level Menu, will be displayed from this point forward.
The 'Setup Wizard' can be re-entered via the Setup Menu.

Transfer Data in Memory
The operator interface contains long term storage in two forms.
Flash memory contained in the operator interface is used to store the
firmware and optionally language modules and parameters used in
the drive. This information can also be stored on a removable flash
card that can be taken to another drive.
In order to transfer information from the two forms of memory, press
the [F7] key. This displays a new screen (Figure Error! Reference source not found.) from which all flash memory operations are
performed. Refer to the section entitled “Flash Memory Transfers”
for instructions on these features.
Picking an Access Level
Access Levels are used in the drive to protect parameters from
unauthorized changes and to filter out the amount of information
viewed. Each access level takes on the parameters and permissions
of the lower access levels.
The default access level is 'Monitor'. In this level, only a small
subset of the parameter database is viewable. No changes are
allowed to any configuration information.
7000 “A” Frame 7000A-UM151D-EN-P – March 2013
3-22 Operator Interface
The next level is 'Basic'. This level and all levels above it allow
changes to be made to any parameter that can be viewed. The
number of parameters viewable increases from the previous level.
This level will be sufficient for configuring and maintaining the
drive for the majority of applications.
The last level intended for normal operation is the 'Advanced' level.
From this level, the drive can be configured in its entirety.
Two additional levels are used for trained service personal and are
only used when physical hardware changes are made to the drive.
Individual PIN numbers protects all levels, except the first. Use the
up/down cursor keys to select the desired access level. Then enter
the PIN value for the given access level and press [enter]. If the
correct PIN was entered, the access level will change.
Refer to Enter/Modify an Access Level for complete information
on the use of Access Levels.
Select a Parameter Various operations require that a parameter be selected. All
selection operations are done via one of three methods described in
this section. All parameters are organized into groups. Selecting via
groups is the default method.
The screens associated with the selection process are called
automatically as part of the operation from other screens.
Via Groups
This is the default screen (Figure 3.23) used in the selection of a
parameter. It shows all the groups that are accessible for the operation
currently being performed. For example: if you are selecting a
parameter, any groups that are showing read-only parameters only will
not be shown. The current access level will also affect the number of
groups that are currently viewable, and can be selected from. If more
than one page of groups exist, press the [F8] and [F9] keys to view the

The SELECT screen (Figure 3.24) is displayed showing the members
of the selected group. The name of the selected group currently
being displayed is shown after the screen name, i.e. Motor Ratings.
Again using the [cursor up] or [cursor down] keys, and if required
the [F8] and [F9] keys to change the page, select the desired tag.
Press the [enter] key and the selected tag will be used to continue the
operation for which the selection process was being used.

Figure 3.24 – Selecting a Member of a Group
From the SELECT GROUP screen (Figure 3.23), the tag can also be
selected via its name by pressing the [F7] key.
Via Name
When you know the name of the tag that you wish to select but do
not know what group it belongs to or are unsure of the full name, this
method of selection may be appropriate.
Selecting via a name is initiated from the SELECT GROUP screen
(Figure 3.23) by pressing the [F7] key. This displays the SELECT
LETTER screen shown in Figure 3.25.
Using the cursor keys, select (i.e. reverse video) the letter with which
the desired tag starts with. The [cursor up] and [cursor down] keys
move vertically within a column, the [cursor left] and [cursor right]
key move laterally within the rows. When the appropriate letter has
been selected, press the [enter] key.

From the SELECT LETTER screen (Figure 3.25) the tag may also
be selected via a code by pressing the [F5] key.
Via Code
This method of selecting a tag is initiated from the SELECT
LETTER screen (Figure 3.25) by pressing the [F5] key. It allows
you to select the tag, given that you know the tag code associated
with the desired tag. Every parameter (i.e. tag) has a unique code
associated to identify it to devices incapable of making decisions
based on a name, such as a PLC for example.

The screen shown in Figure 3.31 is typical of all screens using the
edit text operation. All screens have the F3, F4 and F5 keys in
common (if applicable). Once in the 'editing field' all operations are
performed on the character in reverse video.
Pressing the [cursor left] and [cursor right] keys will move to the
next character position in the string. Pressing the [cursor up] and
[cursor down] keys will cycle through the characters contained in a
set, each time the key is pressed. Note that when the first member of
a set is displayed, pressing [cursor down] will wrap around to the last
member of the set.
There are four sets of characters available. Press the [F3] key to
cycle among the sets. The sets consist of:
a) the upper case letters A-Z.
b) the lower case letters a-z.
c) the numbers 0-9 and the characters '.' and '-'.
d) the characters: space _ ( ) [ ] { } < > | @ # $ % & * ! ^ + = ; : ?
Note: these character set may vary depending on the language
selected.
A special set consisting of A-Z, 0-9 and the underscore character are
used for filenames and cannot be selected via the [F3] key or
modified by the [F5] key.
When a letter is in the editing field, pressing the [F5] key may
change its case.
To delete the entire string (i.e. fill it with spaces), press the [F4] key.
To abort the changes to the string being edited press the [backspace]
key. This will restore the string to its contents when the screen was
first entered.
The editing operation is completed by pressing the [enter] key.
Changes are not permanently made until the screen is exited via the
[F10] key.
Note: The characters entered may only be valid for the currently
selected language. Any characters used which are unique for a
given language (i.e. other than the four sets defined above) can only
be meaningfully displayed in the selected language, because other
languages do not contain the appropriate display characters.

parameters will be obtained from the Drive Identity Module (DIM).
The use of the DIM allows each drive to be customized at the factory
to the intended application, using all known information at the time
of building the drive.
Enter/Modify an Access Level
The drive is protected from unauthorized changes via passwords
consisting of a number between 0 and 65535. These passwords are
associated with Access Levels. Each Access Level, (except for the
first one 'Monitor') has its own password number (PIN). These
values can be unique or all can be set to the same value.
The default level, 'Monitor' does not have a PIN associated with it.
With this Access Level, the drive configuration can be viewed, but
no changes are allowed to the parameters. In addition to providing
the protection, the Access Levels also filter out the amount of
information that can be viewed at each level. On any level, other
than 'Monitor', any information that can be viewed may also be
modified.
