Versatile Programming and Network Solutions
• PowerFlex 4 and PowerFlex 40 are compatible with any device that acts as a RTU Master and supports standard 03 and 06 RTU commands.
• A network can be configured using PowerFlex 40 drives with optional communication cards for high performance and flexible configuration capabilities.
– BACnet
– ControlNet
– DeviceNet
– EtherNet/IP
– LonWorks
– PROFIBUS DP
• A multi-drive solution can be reached using a single PowerFlex 40 DeviceNet option, with the ability for up to five drives to reside on one node.
• Integral RS485 communications enable the drives to be used in a multi-drop network configuration. A serial converter module (SCM) provides connectivity to any controller with a DF1 port. The SCM can be eliminated if the controller acts as a RTU Master.

Optimized Performance
• Removable MOV to ground provides trouble-free operation when used on ungrounded distribution systems.
• A relay pre-charge limits inrush current.
• Integral brake transistor, available on all ratings (except no brake version), provides dynamic braking capability with simple low cost brake resistors.
• DIP switch settable 24V DC sink or source control for control wiring flexibility.
• 150% overload for 60 seconds or 200% overload for 3 seconds provides robust overload protection.
• Adjustable PWM frequency up to 16 kHz ensures quiet operation.
Performance
• This graph depicts the ability of a PowerFlex 40 drive to accelerate into at least 150% load. A PowerFlex 4 will perform similarly, but with a slightly higher acceleration time.
• At 100% motor load, the drive will run the motor at synchronous speed.
• Excellent current regulation.
• Linear acceleration.
• Best in class digital input response time and repeatability
