PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000)
Add-On InstructionFaceplateGlobal Objects
IMPORTANT
The P_PF6000 (PowerFlex 6000 drive) object is used to operate one
variable-speed motor by using a PowerFlex 6000 medium voltage variable
frequency AC drive. The drive operates via an add-on EtherNet/IP interface.
The Add-On Instruction controls the drive in various modes and monitors fault
conditions. The global objects and faceplate that is shown are examples of the
graphical interface tools for this instruction.
Guidelines
This instruction operates a motor connected to a PowerFlex 6000 variable
frequency AC drive, which is communicating with the controller over an
EtherNet/IP network.
The PowerFlex 6000 drive has specific parameter read/write functionality. For
details, see Knowledgebase Answer ID 1008677 at
https://www.rockwellautomation.custhelp.com
Do not use this instruction in these situations:
• You need to operate a single-speed motor (running and stopped only). Use
• You need to operate a two-speed motor (fast, slow, and stopped only). Use
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM057A-EN-P - January 20177

the P_Motor instruction instead.
the P_Motor2Spd instruction instead.
PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000)
• You need to operate a simple reversing motor (forward, reverse, and
stopped only). Use the P_MotorRev instruction instead.
• You need to operate a motor with multiple discrete speeds. You need
specific logic for this motor. The P_PF6000 instruction is designed for
motors with continuously variable (analog) speed, not multiple discrete
speed selections. You can use the P_D4SD or P_nPos instruction for
motors with multiple discrete speeds.
• You are using a drive other than the PowerFlex 6000 drive. Instead, use
these Add-On Instructions:
– P_PF52x for the PowerFlex 523 or PowerFlex 525 drive on an
EtherNet/IP network
– P_PF753 for the PowerFlex drive with 20-COMM-E EtherNet/IP
Interface
– P_PF755 for the PowerFlex AC variable frequency drive
– P_PF7000 for the PowerFlex 7000 medium voltage AC variable
frequency drive with 20-COMM-E EtherNet/IP interface.
– P_VSD for third-party drives, drives on other networks, or via
hardwired I/O
Functional Description
The P_PF6000 instruction provides the following capabilities:
• Ownership of the drive through the standard P_Mode Add-On
Instruction and modes.
• Ability to start and stop the drive and motor, control the drive speed (via
speed reference), and monitor the drive run status and speed feedback to
verify whether the drive is running or stopped. Provides alarms and drive
shutdown for Fail to Start and Fail to Stop if the feedback does not follow
the commanded state within a configured amount of time.
• Reading from the drive, the instruction displays drive faults, general drive
status data, and a number of operating parameters.
• Ability to read fault data from the drive and provide descriptive text with
fault codes.
• Indication of Warning or Alarm status as received from the drive.
• Input and alarm for a drive fault condition and an output to send a drive
fault reset to the drive. Provide a configurable time to pulse the drive fault
reset output when a reset command is received.
• Permissives (bypassable and non-bypassable) that are conditions that
enable a drive start and Interlocks (bypassable and non-bypassable) that are
conditions that stop the drive and help prevent starting. Provide an alarm
when an Interlock stops the drive. Provide maintenance the capability to
bypass the bypassable Permissives and Interlocks.
8Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM057A-EN-P - January 2017
PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000)
IMPORTANT
• Maintenance personnel can disable (soft lock out) the drive. This
capability is not a substitute for hard lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures.
• Monitor an I/O fault input and a communication watchdog timer, and
alarm on an I/O or communication failure. The failure condition can
optionally de-energize the outputs to the drive, requiring a reset.
• In Override mode, provide an override state input that determines if the
override is to run or stop the drive (default = stop), and, if the drive is to
run, an override speed reference and direction.
• The instruction provides simulation capability. Outputs to the drive are
kept de-energized, but the object can be manipulated as if a working drive
were present, including a basic ramp-up of speed feedback value on
starting and ramp-down on stopping. The simulated ramp-up-to-speed
time is configurable. This capability is often used for activities such as
system testing and operator training.
Required Files
Add-On Instructions are reusable code objects that contain encapsulated logic
that can streamline implementing your system. This functionality lets you 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_PF6000_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

IMPORTANT
Operations
This section describes the primary operations for Add-On Instructions.
Modes
This instruction uses the following standard modes, which are implemented by
using an embedded P_Mode Add-On Instruction.
ModeDescription
OperatorThe Operator owns control of the device. Operator commands (OCmd_) and Operator settings
(OSet_) from the HMI are accepted.
ProgramProgram logic owns control of the device. Program commands (PCmd_) and Program settings
(PSet_) are accepted.
OverridePriority logic owns control of the device and supersedes Operator and Program control. Override
Inputs (Inp_OvrdCmd and other Inp_OvrdXxxx values) are accepted. If so configured,
bypassable interlocks and permissives are bypassed.
MaintenanceMaintenance owns control of the device and supersedes Operator, Program, and Override
control. Operator commands and settings from the HMI are accepted. Bypassable interlocks and
permissives are bypassed, and device timeout checks are not processed.
HandHardwired logic or other logic outside the instruction owns control of the device. The instruction
tracks the state of the device for bumpless transfer back to one of the other modes.
No ModeThe device is disabled and has no owner because the EnableIn input is false. The main
instruction Logic routine is not being scanned. See Execution sec tion for more information on
EnableInFalse processing.
Instructions with Cfg_OperKeep and Cfg_ProgKeep keep some aspects of the
device operation with the operator or program regardless of whether the main
mode is Program or Operator mode.
See Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects: Common Mode Block
(P_Mode) Reference Manual, publication SYSLIB-RM005
, for more
information.
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM057A-EN-P - January 201725
PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000)
Alarms
This instruction uses the following alarms, which are implemented by using
embedded P_Alarm and P_Gate Add-On Instructions.
Alarm NameP_Alarm NameP_Gate NameDescription
Drive FaultDriveFaultNoneRaised when the drive detects a fault and sets its
Faulted status bit. Check the Fault Code and
description to determine the cause. Issuing a Reset of
this object causes a Clear Fault command to be sent to
the drive in an attempt to clear the fault.
Fail to StartFailToStartNoneRaised when the drive has and is using run feedback,
an attempt is made to start the drive, and the run
feedback does not indicate that the drive is running
within the configured time. If Fail to Start is
configured as a shed fault, the drive is stopped and a
reset is required to start the drive.
Fail to StopFailToStopNoneRaised when the drive has and is using run feedback,
an attempt is made to stop the drive, and the run
feedback does not indicate that the drive stopped
within the configured time.
Interlock TripIntlkTripNoneRaised when the drive is running and an interlock ’not
OK’ condition causes the drive to stop.
If interlocks are not bypassed, a bypassable inter lock
or a non-bypassable interlock 'not OK' condition
initiates an interlock trip. If interlocks are bypassed,
only a non-bypassable interlock 'not OK' condition
initiates an interlock trip.
I/O FaultIOFaultNoneRaised when the Inp_IOFault input is true. This input
is used to indicate to the instruc tion that a
communication failure has occurred for its I/O. If the
I/O Fault is configured as a shed fault, the drive is
stopped and not per mitted to start until reset.
Parameters of the P_Alarm object can be accessed by using the following
convention: [P_Alarm Name].[P_Alarm Parameter].
See Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects: Common Alarm Block
(P_Alarm) Reference Manual, publication SYSLIB-RM002
, for more
information.

PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000)
Simulation
Simulation in P_PF6000 de-energizes the outputs, ignores inputs, and provides
the feedback of a working drive. It lets you operate the Add-On Instruction as if a
working drive, even if no drive is physically present.
You must set the Inp_Sim parameter in the controller to ‘1’ to enable simulation.
The Simulation icon is displayed at the bottom left of the Operator
faceplate indicating the device is in simulation.
You can also use Cfg_SimRampT to set the time (in seconds) to ramp the speed
feedback.
When you have finished in simulation, set the Inp_Sim parameter in the
controller to ‘0’ to return to normal operation.

Bits used by Add-On Instruction.
Bits not used by
Add-On Instruction and
available for use.
Programming Example
This example uses the P_PF6000 instruction to control the motor of a planetary
mixer in a concrete batch plant.
In the drive command word, the Add-On Instruction uses bits .0...3. The
instruction does not use the rest of the bits in the 'Out' reference parameter in the
InOut structure. These unused bit are available for your application to use.
Follow these steps to import the P_PF6000 rung into your project.
1. On the Controller Organizer, add your PowerFlex drive to the I/O
Configuration and name the drive.
2. Under Tasks, click in front of Main Task.
3. Double-click Main_Routine to open this ladder logic routine.
4. Right-click one of the rungs and choose Import rungs.

5. On the Import rungs dialog box, select the P_PF6000 instruction and
click Import.
During the import process, you can name the tags for the routine in the
Import Configuration dialog box.
6. Click Tags in the Import Content tree and type the names of the variables
that match your process and the drive name in the Final Name column.

Display Elements
The P_PF6000 instruction uses the same HMI display elements that are used for
the Variable Speed Drive (P_VSD) instruction.
A display element (global object) is created once and can be referenced multiple
times on multiple displays in an application. When changes are made to the
original (base) object, the instantiated copies (reference objects) are
automatically updated. Use of global objects, with tag structures in the
ControlLogix system, aid consistency and save engineering time.

Faceplate
The P_PF6000 faceplate consists of six tabs and each tab consists of one or more
pages.
The title bar of each faceplate contains the value of local configuration tags
Cfg_Tag and Cfg_Desc.
The Operator tab is displayed when the faceplate is initially opened. Click the
appropriate icon at the top of the faceplate to access a specific tab.
The faceplate provides the means for operators, maintenance personnel,
engineers, and others to interact with the P_PF6000 instruction instance,
including viewing its status and values and manipulating it through its commands
and settings. When a given input is restricted via FactoryTalk View security, the
required user security code letter is shown in the tables that follow.
Operator Tab
The Faceplate initially opens to the Operator (‘Home’) tab. From here, an
operator can monitor the device status and manually operate the device when it is
in Operator mode.
The Operator tab shows the following information:
• Current mode (Operator, Program, Override, Maintenance, or Hand)
• Requested mode indicator (appears only if the Operator or Program mode
has been superseded by another mode.)
• Input Source and Quality indicator (See 'SrcQ' in the Output parameters
for details).

If the object is configured to have permissive and interlock objects (for example,
Cfg_HasIntlkObj is true), the permissive and interlock indicators become
buttons. These buttons open the faceplates of the source objects used as a
permissive or interlock (often this is a P_Intlk interlock or P_Perm permissive
object). If the object is not configured in this way, the permissive/interlock icons
are indicators only.
The Operator tab also has a button to open the Restart Inhibit faceplate if the
drive is configured to use the P_ResInh object (Cfg_HasResInh = 1). When the
object is not configured to have an P_ResInh instruction, the Restart Inhibit
button is not displayed.
The Operator tab also has a button to open the Run Time faceplate if the drive is
configured to use the P_RunTime object (Cfg_HasRunTime = 1). When the
object is not configured to have an P_RunTime instruction, the Run Time
button is not displayed.
