 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
Add-On Instruction

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.

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
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/support/pcdc.page.

IMPORTANT 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.

IMPORTANT: The name of the Restart Inhibit object in the controller must be this
object's name with the suffix ‘_ResInh’. For example, if your P_PF52x object has
the name ’PF52x123’, then its Restart Inhibit object must be named
‘PF52x123_ResInh’.
Cfg_HasRunTimeObj BOOL 0 1 = Tells HMI a runtime object (for example, P_RunTime) is connected and
navigation to the runtime object’s faceplate is enabled.
IMPORTANT: The name of the runtime object in the controller must be this
object's name with the suffix ‘_RunTime’. For example, if your P_PF52x object has
the name ‘PF52x123’, then its runtime object must be named
‘PF52x123_RunTime’.
Cfg_SetTrack BOOL 1 This parameter is used to set up bumpless behavior of setting parameters when
switching modes.
When this parameter is 1:
• In Program mode the operator settings track the program settings.
• In Operator mode the program settings track the operator settings.
• The simulation inputs match the output values (transitions are bumpless).
When this parameter is 0, the operator settings and program settings are not
modified by this instruction. In this case, when the mode is changed, the effective
value of the setting can change depending on the program-set and operator-set
values.
Cfg_SetTrackOvrdHand BOOL 0 1 = Program/Operator settings track Override/Hand mode settings.
Cfg_PCmdClear BOOL Mode.Cfg_PCmdClear 1 When this parameter is 1, program commands are cleared once they are acted
upon. When set to 0, program commands remain set until cleared by the
application program logic.
IMPORTANT: Clearing this parameter online can cause unintended program
command execution.
Cfg_ProgDefault BOOL Mode.Cfg_ProgDefault 0 This parameter defines the default mode. When this parameter is 1, the mode
defaults to Program if no mode is being requested. When this parameter is 0, the
mode defaults to Operator if no mode is being requested.
IMPORTANT: Changing this parameter online can cause unintended mode
changes.

on a fault, a reset is required to clear the shed fault. The drive can now be
commanded to a state other than Stopped.
Cfg_ShedOnIOFault BOOL 1 1 = Stop motor and alarm on I/O Fault.
0 = Alarm only on I/O Fault.
IMPORTANT: If a condition is configured to shed the device to the Stopped state
on a fault, a reset is required to clear the shed fault. The drive can now be
commanded to a state other than Stopped.
Cfg_SimScaleEU BOOL 0 If Cfg_SimScaleEU = 1, in simulation, scale Speed Ref engineering units to Speed
feedback engineering units.
Cfg_SimScaleRaw If Cfg_SimScaleRaw = 1, in simulation, scale Speed Ref engineering units to raw,
then raw to Speed feedback engineering units.
If both of these parameters are zero, the simulated speed reference is ramped to
the simulated speed feedback without scaling.
Cfg_HasFailToStartAlm BOOL FailToStart.Cfg_Exists 0 These parameters determine whether the corresponding alarm exists and is
checked or if the alarm does not exist and is not used. When these parameters are
Cfg_HasFailToStopAlm FailToStop.Cfg_Exists 1, the corresponding alarm exists.
Cfg_HasIntlkTripAlm IntlkTrip.Cfg_Exists
Cfg_HasDriveFaultAlm DriveFault.Cfg_Exists
Cfg_HasIOFaultAlm IOFault.Cfg_Exists
Cfg_FailToStartResetReqd BOOL FailToStart.Cfg_ResetReqd 0 These parameters determine whether a reset is required to clear the alarm status.
When these parameters are 1, the alarm is latched ON when the alarm occurs.
Cfg_FailToStopResetReqd FailToStop.Cfg_ResetReqd After the alarm condition returns to normal, a reset is required to clear the alarm
status. For example, OCmd_Reset, Inp_Reset, or Drivefault.OCmd_Reset are
Cfg_IntlkTripResetReqd IntlkTrip.Cfg_ResetReqd required to clear Alm_DriveFault alarm after the alarm is set and the value
Cfg_DriveFaultResetReqd DriveFault.Cfg_ResetReqd returns to normal. When these parameters are 0, no reset is required and the
alarm status is cleared when the alarm condition returns to normal.
Cfg_IOFaultResetReqd IOFault.Cfg_ResetReqd IMPORTANT: If the reset clears the alarm, it also acknowledges the alarm.
Cfg_FailToStartAckReqd BOOL FailToStart.Cfg_AckReqd 1 These parameters determine whether an acknowledgement is required for an
alarm. When these parameters are 1, the acknowledge (ack) bit is cleared when
Cfg_FailToStopAckReqd FailToStop.Cfg_AckReqd the alarm occurs. An acknowledge command (for example, PCmd_FailAck or
Fail.OCmd_Ack) is required to acknowledge the alarm. When set to 0, the
Cfg_IntlkTripAckReqd IntlkTrip.Cfg_AckReqd Acknowledge bit is set when an alarm occurs indicating an acknowledged alarm
Cfg_DriveFaultAckReqd DriveFault.Cfg_AckReqd and no acknowledge command is required.

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.

Table 12 - Modes
Mode Description
Operator The Operator owns control of the device. Operator commands (OCmd_) and Operator settings
(OSet_) from the HMI are accepted.
Program Program logic owns control of the device. Program commands (PCmd_) and Program settings
(PSet_) are accepted.
Override Priority 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.
Maintenance Maintenance 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.
Hand Hardwired 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 Mode The device is disabled and has no owner because the EnableIn input is false. The main
instruction Logic routine is not being scanned. See Execution section for more information on
EnableInFalse processing.

IMPORTANT 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.

Alarms

This instruction uses the following alarms, which are implemented by using
embedded P_Alarm and P_Gate Add-On Instructions.

Alarm Name P_Alarm Name P_Gate Name Description

Drive Fault DriveFault None Raised 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 will cause a Clear Fault command to be
sent to the drive in an attempt to clear the fault.
Fail to Start FailToStart None Raised 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 in order to start the drive.
Fail to Stop FailToStop None Raised 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 Trip IntlkTrip None Raised when the drive is running and an interlock ’not
OK’ condition causes the drive to stop.
If interlocks are not bypassed, a bypassable interlock
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 Fault IOFault None Raised when the Inp_IOFault input is true. This input
is usually used to indicate to the instruction 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 permitted 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 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives (P_PF52x)

Simulation

Simulation in the P_PF52x Add-On Instruction disables the normal output and
provides the feedback of a working drive

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,

and indicates that the device is in simulation.

You can also use the following parameters in simulation:

• Cfg_SimScaleEU to scale Speed Reference engineering units to Speed
Feedback engineering units
• Cfg_SimScaleRaw to scale Speed Reference engineering units to raw and
then raw to Speed Feedback engineering units
• Cfg_SimRampT to set the time in seconds to ramp speed feedback

When you have finished in simulation, set the Inp_Sim parameter in the
controller to ‘0’ to return to normal operation.

Execution

The following table explains the handling of instruction execution conditions.

Condition Description
EnableIn False (false rung) Processing for EnableIn False (false rung) is handled the
same as if the drive were Disabled by Command. The drive
outputs are de-energized and the drive is shown as
disabled on the HMI.
Powerup (prescan, first scan) Processing of modes and alarms on prescan and Powerup
is handled by the embedded P_Mode and P_Alarm
Add-On Instructions. See their specifications for details.
On Powerup, the drive is treated as if it had been
Commanded to Stop.
Postscan (SFC transition) No SFC Postscan logic is provided.

See the Logix5000 Controllers Add-On Instructions Programming Manual,

publication 1756-PM010, for more information.

Programming Example The following example shows the P_PF52x in ladder context. Here, ladder logic
is used to copy the drive input data from the input assembly tag to a buffer tag of
type P_PF52x_Inp.

Next, the P_PF52x Add-On Instruction executes.

Finally, the drive command bits used by the P_PF52x instruction and the drive
speed reference are copied out to the drive. A buffer tag of type P_PF52x_Out is
used.

 PowerFlex 523/525 Variable Frequency Drives (P_PF52x)

Display Elements The P_PF52x 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.
