Add-On Instruction
PowerFlex 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives
(P_PF52x)
The P_PF52x (PowerFlex® 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives) object is used to
control and monitor a PowerFlex 523 variable-frequency drive with optional
EtherNet/IP Interface. The P_PF52x can also control and monitor a PowerFlex
525 variable-frequency drive with embedded or optional add-on EtherNet/IP
Interface.
Faceplate
Global Objects
Guidelines
Use this instruction to monitor and control a motor that uses an Allen-Bradley®
PowerFlex 523 or PowerFlex 525 variable frequency drive interfaced via
EtherNet/IP. This instruction provides for collecting and displaying diagnostic
information from the drive by using configured datalinks on the EtherNet/IP
interface.
Do not use this instruction with other Allen-Bradley drive families. There are
dedicated Add-On Instructions for the PowerFlex 753 variable frequency drive
that use the 20-COMM-E EtherNet/IP interface (P_PF753), and for the
PowerFlex 753 or 755 variable frequency drive that uses the built-in or add-on
20-750-series EtherNet/IP interfaces (P_PF755). It is highly recommended that
other Allen-Bradley (or non-Allen-Bradley) drive families use the P_VSD generic
Variable Speed Drive Add-On Instruction.
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM048D-EN-P - February 20177
PowerFlex 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives (P_PF52x)
Functional Description
The P_PF52x instruction provides the following capabilities:
• Starting, stopping, jogging of the drive, and setting speed reference and
direction
• Monitoring of run feedback, display of actual drive status, including
acceleration, deceleration, direction, and speed
• Detection of Failure to Start, Failure to Stop, and Drive Fault
• Monitoring of Permissive conditions to allow starting
• Monitoring of Interlock conditions to stop/prevent starting
• Simulation, providing feedback of a working drive while the outputs are
disabled
• Monitoring I/O communication faults
• Alarms for Fail to Start, Fail to Stop, Interlock Trip, Drive Fault, and
I/O Fault
• Option to automatically reset faults and alarms when an operator
commands the motor to start or stop
• Supports HMI 'breadcrumbs' for Alarm Inhibited, Bad Configuration,
Not Ready, and Maintenance Bypass Active
• 'Available' status for use by automation logic to know whether a motor can
be controlled by other objects
Required Drive Configuration
IMPORTANT
Be certain to set up the drive Datalinks as follows:
• Input Assembly
– Drive Status (standard)
– Output Frequency (standard)
– Datalinks:
'User Choice' Datalinks are not used by this Add-On Instruction and can be left
unused or set up for your application.

Required Files
Add-On Instructions are reusable code objects that contain encapsulated logic
that can streamline implementing your system. With this code, you can create
your own instruction set for programming logic as a supplement to the
instruction set provided natively in the ControlLogix® firmware. An Add-On
Instruction is defined once in each controller project, and can be instantiated
multiple times in your application code as needed.
Controller File
The P_PF52x_3_5-00_RUNG.L5X rung import must be imported into the
controller project to be used in the controller configuration. The service release
number (boldfaced) can change as service revisions are created.
Visualization Files
This Add-On Instruction has associated visualization files that provide a
common user interface. These files can be downloaded from the Product
Compatibility and Download Center at
The visualization file dependencies require Process Library content imports to
occur in a specific order as reflected in the following tables:
• Images
• Global Objects
• Standard Displays
• HMI Tags
• Macros
Images are external graphic files that can be used in displays. They must be
imported for FactoryTalk View to make use of them.
When PNG files are imported, they are renamed by FactoryTalk View with
a .bmp file extension, but retain a .png format.

The Global Object files (.ggfx file type) in the following table are Process Library
display elements that are created once and referenced multiple times on multiple
displays in an application. When changes are made to a Global Object, all
instances in the application are automatically updated.

PowerFlex 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives (P_PF52x)
When the P_PF52x instruction is instantiated using the RUNG import, the
“PF525_FaultCodeList” tag shown in the following image, is included in the
import and created if it does not already exist. This tag is also included in the
Template applications that are included in the Library download.
To display fault code messages in P_PF52x, enter the name of the Fault Code List
tag (first column) in the P_PF52x Ref_FaultCodeList parameter.
Each fault code list has preset codes and descriptions for translating fault code
numbers that are received from the drive to human-readable drive fault
descriptions.

PowerFlex 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives (P_PF52x)
PowerFlex 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives Input Structure
Input parameters include the following:
• Input data elements (Inp_) are typically used to connect field inputs from
I/O modules or signals from other objects.
• Configuration data elements (Cfg_) are used to set configurable
capabilities and features of the instruction.
• Command data elements (PCmd_, OCmd_, MCmd_) are used by
program logic, operators, and maintenance personnel to request
instruction actions.
• Setting data elements (PSet_, OSet_, MSet_) are used by program logic,
operators, and maintenance personnel to establish runtime setpoints,
thresholds, and so forth. Set_ data elements (without a leading P, O, or M)
establish runtime settings regardless of role or mode.

Table 10 - P_PF52x Drives Output Parameters
PowerFlex 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives (P_PF52x)
PowerFlex 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives Output Structure
Output parameters include the following:
• Value data elements (Val_) are numeric outputs of the instruction for use
by the HMI. Values can also be used by other application logic or software
packages.
• Source and Quality data elements (SrcQ_) are outputs of the instruction
that is used by the HMI to indicate PV source and quality.
• Status data elements (Sts_) are bit outputs of the instruction for use by the
HMI. Status bits can also be used by other application logic.
• Error data elements (Err_) are outputs of the instruction that indicate a
particular configuration error. If any Err_ bit is set, then the Sts_Err
configuration error summary status is set and the Invalid Configuration
indicator is displayed on the HMI.
• Not Ready data elements (Nrdy_) are bit outputs of the instruction for use
by the HMI for displaying the Device Not Ready indicator. Status bits can
also be used by other application logic.
• Alarm data elements (Alm_) are outputs of the instruction that indicate a
particular alarm has occurred.
• Acknowledge data elements (Ack_) are outputs of the instruction that
indicate the corresponding alarm has been acknowledged.
• Ready data elements (Rdy_) are bit outputs of the instruction used by the
HMI to enable or disable Command buttons and Setting entry fields.
