| A. Yes it can, by setting Parameter 40 “Motor Type” to options 1 or 2. |
|
| A. No. The 20-HIM-A0 (LED HIM) must be installed in the drive cradle for the HIM to function. If the LED HIM is hooked to a handheld cable, the HIM will not light up. |
|
| A. Yes, for both START and RUN.

| A. Yes, for both START and RUN. |
|
| A. Yes. Similar to the 160, the PowerFlex 40 has a 7th IGBT in all ratings 1 HP and above. For applications requiring dynamic braking on fraction HP motors, a 1 HP drive must be used. We will also be releasing for sale a new line of brake resistors that can be used across all PowerFlex products. In addition, both the PowerFlex 4 and PowerFlex 40 can also be used with the 160 brake modules. |
|
| A. Regardless of which keypad is being used (local keypad or remote HIM), the PowerFlex 4/40 does not support password protection. The drives do have a program lock function. To enable this, set parameter A101 [Program Lock] to a 1 ("Locked"). This will lock out anyone from changing a parameter. To remove the program lock, set A101 back to a 0 ("Unlocked"). |
|
| A. The first parameter that needs to be changed is P320 (Anlg In Cofig) to tell the drive the analog input will be a current input. The next parameter that needs to be programmed is P322,325 (Analog In x Hi)to 20mA. The last parameter that needs to be programmed is P323, 326 (Analog In x Lo) to 4mA. You would program P320 Bit 0, P322 and P323 if you are using Analog In 1. You would program P320 Bit 1, P325 and P326 if you are using Analog In 2. |
|
| A. Use: Torque Prove With Encoder. Parameter 605 is set to 5 seconds by default and may need to be reduced to suit the application, the drive will hold the load for this five seconds, but generally the final solution may require a faster operation of the holding brake. |
|
| A. PowerFlex 40P drive programming is achieved by the use of an external HIM or via the resident DSI connection and PC programming tools.

| A. The door mount HIMs are going to be available as a programmer only or a fully operational HIM. The HIM comes with a gasket and the necessary hardware for mounting. The HIM will already be structured into a bracket. Holes will need to be drilled for the screws and the HIM cable connection. The kit that includes the HIM will come with a 1 meter cable. If extra length is needed an extension cable will need to be ordered. |

|
| A. 2 digital inputs, 1 relay output, 1 analog input
|
|
| A. 2 analog inputs, 3 fixed and 4 fully programmable digital inputs, 1 analog output, 2 opto outputs and 1 form C relay output. |
|
| A. The environmental specifications on the PowerFlex 4/40 drives show a maximum altitude of 1000 m (3300 ft) without derating. For altitudes above this level, the drive should be derated 1% for every extra 100 m (330 ft). So, 2000 m (6600 ft) would require a derate to 90% of drive current rating; 3000 m (9900 ft) would require a derate to 80% of drive current rating. |
|
| A. When using the Torque and Brake Proving functions in the PowerFlex700 Vector Control drive, the encoder feedback option needs to be a Quadrature and Differential. The motor feedback type set in parameter 412 needs to be set at Quad Check. |
|
| A. The PowerFlex 40P AC drive comes standard with embedded RS485 ModBus RTU DSI and also accepts the optional DSI communication modules such as ControlNet, DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, PROFIBUS DP, LonWorks, Bluetooth. |
|
| A. The PowerFlex 4 and PowerFlex 40 have commonality in the following areas:
Parameter numbering – the PowerFlex40 will have more parameters, but all PowerFlex 4 parameters will appear in the same order as they will in the PowerFlex 40
Control terminal block numbering – All digital and analog control terminals on the PowerFlex 40 will have the same number and function as on the PowerFlex 4, but the PowerFlex 40 has a few additional terminals. So, if your customer only needs PowerFlex 4 functionality but needs up to 10hp, there is a zero learning curve.
Frame size dimensions – there is no Frame A PowerFlex 40. All three phase rating sup to and including 5 HP are in a Frame B. The 3 HP, single-phase rating and 7.5 and 10 HP ratings are in the new Frame C.
Same integral keypad and RS485 communications Accessories, such as dynamic brake resistors, line filters, EMC filters, remote HIMs and communication hardware.

| A. Fault 24 is the "Decel Inhibit Fault." This fault was not listed in the first manuals printed for the PowerFlex 70 drive, but are printed in the current circulation manuals.
This means that the drive is not following the commanded deceleration because it is attempting to limit bus voltage. You will want to verify that the input voltage is within the drive's limits. Verify the system ground impedance follows proper grounding techniques. Disable the bus regulation and/or add dynamic brake resistors and/or extend deceleration time. Parameter 238 bit 6 is the location to turn this fault on or off. By factory defaults this bit is on. Parameter 161, 162 and 160 are the bus regultation
parameters that can be adjusted for application if the bus regulation is desired. |
|
| A. The default setting for par 56 bit 3 is a value of 1. The power transistor diagnostic tests are run by default. Setting par 56 bit 3 to 0 turns off these diagnostic tests. When torque proving is turned on, input phase loss and output phase loss are turned on regardless of the settings in parameter 56 bit 3 or parameter 238 bit 8 or bit 12. |
|
| A. Frames 0-4 the static load is between 30 and 50 watts depending on the options loaded. Frames 5 and 6 the load is higher due to the main cooling fan operation. Approximately 150 to 200 watts. |
|
| A. Standard RS485. Others are available using 22XCOMM DC Base. |
|
| A. Standard RS485. Other communication modules include ControlNet, PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, LonWorks, BACnet, EtherNet/IP, and Bluetooth.
|
|
| A. The PowerFlex 40 will offer the following additional capabilities:
7.5 and 10 hp ratings for both 230 and 460V applications
Additional analog and digital I/O
Sensorless vector control
Add on communications options such as DeviceNet
Additional application software features such as PID, timer, counter and logic functions, more preset speeds, secondary current limit, custom volts per hertz.
|
|
| A. The heatsink is cooled by convection only on the flange mount drives.
Powerflex 4, and Powerflext 40 Drives are connected to a laptop via a 22-SCM-232 serial adapter. |
|
| A. Ensure that Parameter P196 is set to 1. This enables all parameters to be accessed.
|
|
| A. The drive has integral RS485 communications as a standard feature. A DeviceNet adapter card will be available at the time of release. There are future plans for Ethernet and Profibus cards, but no specific schedule is available at this time. There are no plans at this point to offer either ControlNet or Remote I/O cards. |
|
| A. We do have plans to develop a definite purpose version of the PowerFlex 40 to serve the water/wastewater and HVAC markets. The present plan is to take the ratings to 50 HP, 230V and 100 HP, 460V. This product will have a modified PowerFlex 40 control board with I/O specific to the needs of these industries. This drive will have overload ratings of 110% for one minute as compared to the 150% for one minute rating of the standard PowerFlex 40. |
