Rockwell Automation 7000A PowerFlex Medium Voltage AC Drive (A Frame) - ForGe Control - Manual (Page 21)

Rockwell Automation Publication 7000A-UM200C-EN-P - June 2014 21
Overview of Drive Chapter 1
This is ideal for non-PLC users wanting to control and monitor remotely (e.g. at
the driven machine, control room, etc.). Also ideal for customers having policies
in place to control access to medium voltage equipment and the associated
requirements of PPE when using the operator interface at the VFD, etc.
Locally-mounted HMI
Similar to the previously offered PanelView 550, the HMI is mounted on the LV
door of the VFD. There is also a service access port (RJ-45 connector) on the LV
door.
No HMI supplied
A service access port (RJ-45 connector) is located on the LV door of the VFD.
Customers use their own laptop as the HMI. All programs required to use the
laptop as the HMI are stored in the VFD. Their laptop is connected to the VFD
via a hardwired Ethernet cable, when required. This is ideal for unmanned sites,
where a dedicated HMI is not required.
See Publication 7000-UM201_-EN-P for detailed instruction for the HMI.
See Publication 7000A-UM151_-EN-P for detailed instruction for “A” Frame
drives using the PanelView 550 HMI.
