Rockwell Automation has expanded the power range of its Allen Bradley PowerFlex 755 AC drives to 450kW.
Featuring advanced diagnostics and a roll out design, the drives are suited for motor control applications in mining and materials handling.
A key feature of the PowerFlex 755 extended power range drive is its roll-out capability, which allows easy access to the drive for fast installation and maintenance.
The drive’s modular design simplifies replacement of drive components, such as cooling fans, circuit boards and major subassemblies.
This modularity also allows the drive’s converter and control pod to remain in the unit while the inverter is rolled out, so control wiring can remain connected.
It also has the capacity for the control pod in this drive to be mounted remotely for easy access to low voltage control and diagnostics.
Advanced diagnostic capabilities include indication of blown fuses and blown surge protectors.
The PowerFlex 755 drive comes equipped with an embedded Ethernet port and five option slots that allow users to tailor the drive to best suit their application.
It supports Rockwell Automation Integrated Motion, allowing it to be configured and controlled using motion profiles and instruction sets in an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix controller with Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000 software.
