FAQ

Q: Does this drive have a built-in EMC filter?

A: No. The “0” in the code means no integral filter. So for CE work, add an S type or L type line filter. S type suits short motor cables. L type allows longer runs.

Q: Can I control this drive over Modbus?

A: Yes. The RS-485 DSI port speaks Modbus RTU. Use codes 03, 06 and 16. Set address 1…247 and baud up to 38400. Add a repeater past 32 nodes.

Q: Is closed-loop control or encoder feedback possible?

A: No. The PowerFlex 4 uses open-loop control only. There is no encoder input. If you need vector control, look at a higher family such as PowerFlex 40 or 525.

Q: What brake resistor should I use?

A: Use one of at least 97 Ω. Rockwell lists the AK-R2-120P1K2 for a 5% duty cycle. Size the resistor for your actual stop energy, then check the duty.

Q: How do I upgrade the IP20 open housing to NEMA 1?

A: Add the field-installed kit 22-JBAB for Frame B. Then the rating becomes IP30 / NEMA 1. Note that max ambient drops to 40 °C with that kit.
