Because of the variety of uses for the product described in this publication, those responsible
for the application and use of this control equipment must satisfy themselves that all
necessary steps have been taken to assure that each application and use meets all
performance and safety requirements, including any applicable laws, regulations, codes and
standards.
The illustrations, charts, sample programs and layout examples shown in this guide are
intended solely for purposes of example. Since there are many variables and requirements
associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation does not assume
responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use based upon the
examples shown in this publication.
Rockwell Automation publication SGI-1.1, Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation,
and Maintenance of Solid-State Control (available from your local Rockwell Automation
office), describes some important differences between solid-state equipment and
electromechanical devices that should be taken into consideration when applying products
such as those described in this publication.

Precautions
Class 1 LED Product
ATTENTION: Hazard of permanent eye damage exists when using optical
transmission equipment. This product emits intense light and invisible radiation. Do
not look into module ports or fiber optic cable connectors.
General Precautions
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts and
assemblies. Static control precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing
or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD control
procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures,
reference Allen Bradley publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic
Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component
damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors such as under
sizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive surrounding air
temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with the PowerFlex 700S AC Drive
and associated machinery should plan or implement the installation, start-up and
subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply may result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the bus
capacitors has discharged before performing any work on the drive. Measure the DC
bus voltage at the +DC & –DC terminals of the Power Terminal Block (refer to
Chapter 1 in the PowerFlex 700S User Manual for location). The voltage must be
zero.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI or SCANport host
products must not be directly connected together via 1202 cables. Unpredictable
behavior can result if two or more devices are connected in this manner.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameters 365 [Encdr0
Loss Cnfg] - 394 [VoltFdbkLossCnfg] let you determine the action of the drive in
response to operating anomalies. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the
settings of these parameters do not create hazards of injury or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameters 383 [SL
CommLoss Data] - 392 [NetLoss DPI Cnfg] let you determine the action of the drive if
communications are disrupted. You can set these parameters so the drive continues
to run. Precautions should be taken to ensure the settings of these parameters do
not create hazards of injury or equipment damage.

Definitions
A Function Module [FM] is a base program designed to perform a specific function
(operation) in an application. Function Modules are not complete applications and will require
additional programming to control a machine section. The additional programming required
for the application and configuration of the overall application is the responsibility of the user.
An Application Module [AM] is a complete program designed with Function Modules and
additional programming to perform a specific machine sections application (task). Application
Modules are complete programs, only requiring configuration and integration to perform the
designated tasks.
Conventions
The conventions described below are used in programming and documentation of
Function Modules and Application Modules.
1. All FM tags are program scoped.
2. All user connections to the FM are through the Jump to Sub-Routine (JSR)
3. Users cannot edit Function Modules.
4. Data format
Data Type RSLogix Type Format Range Example
B = Boolean BOOL x 0 to 1 0 or 1
I = Integer INT x +/- 32767 8947
D = Double INT DINT x +/- 2097151 74364
R = Real (Float) REAL x.x +/-16777215* 3.4 / 13.0

Normalized Quantities
A physical quantity is typically normalized by dividing the physical quantity by a base
quantity with the same engineering units as the physical quantity. As a result, the
normalized quantity does not have units, but is ‘expressed per-unit’. The normalized
quantity has a value of 1.0 [per-unit] when the physical quantity has a value equal to the
base quantity.
A good example of this is the physical quantity of motor current. The information that
the motor is drawing 40 amps has little significance without the knowledge of the specific
motor size and current rating. The motor nameplate states that the rated motor current
is 30 amps. The motor is drawing 133% current is significant information. In the
previous illustration the quantity of motor amps was normalized to 133%. In per unit, the
quantity is normalized to 1.33.
