Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 523 AC Drive Programming
General Precautions
ATTENTION: The drive contains high voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removal of the mains supply. Before working on the drive, ensure isolation of the mains supply from line inputs [R, S, T (L1, L2, L3)]. Wait three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency AC drives and associated machinery should plan or implement the installation, start-up, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing, or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures, reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, such as undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION: The bus regulator function is extremely useful for preventing nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive decelerations, overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. However, it can also cause either of the following two conditions to occur.
- Fast positive changes in input voltage or imbalanced input voltages can cause uncommanded positive speed changes;
- Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded deceleration times However, a “Stall Fault” is generated if the drive remains in this state for 1 minute. If this condition is unacceptable, the bus regulator must be disabled (see parameter A550 [Bus Reg Enable]). In addition, installing a properly sized dynamic brake resistor will provide equal or better performance in most cases.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The drive does not contain user-serviceable components. Do not disassemble the drive chassis.
Mounting Considerations
- Mount the drive upright on a flat, vertical, and level surface.
Frame Screw Size Screw Torque A M5 (#10…24) 1.56…1.96 Nm (14…17 lb-in.) B M5 (#10…24) 1.56…1.96 Nm (14…17 lb-in.) C M5 (#10…24) 1.56…1.96 Nm (14…17 lb-in.) D M5 (#10…24) 2.45…2.94 Nm (22…26 lb-in.) E M8 (5/16 in.) 6.0…7.4 Nm (53…65 lb-in.) - Protect the cooling fan by avoiding dust or metallic particles.
- Do not be exposed to a corrosive atmosphere.
- Protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
Minimum Mounting Clearances
See Dimensions and Weight on page 32 for mounting dimensions.
- For Frame E with Control Module Fan Kit only, a clearance of 95 mm (3.7 in.) is required.
- For Frame E with Control Module Fan Kit only, a clearance of 12 mm (0.5 in.) is required.
Ambient Operating Temperatures
See Appendix B of the PowerFlex 520-Series User Manual, publication 520-UM001 for option kits.

General Grounding Requirements
The drive Safety Ground – (PE) must be connected to the system ground. Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground connections should be periodically checked.
Typical Grounding
Ungrounded Distribution Systems
Disconnecting MOVs
To prevent drive damage, the MOVs connected to ground shall be disconnected if the drive is installed on an ungrounded distribution system (IT mains) where the line-to-ground voltages on any phase could exceed 125% of the nominal line-toline voltage. To disconnect these devices, remove the jumper shown in the diagrams below.
- Turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen.
- Pull the jumper completely out of the drive chassis.
- Tighten the screw to keep it in place.

Power Module
IMPORTANT: Tighten screw after jumper removal.

CE Conformity
See the PowerFlex 520-Series Adjustable Frequency AC Drive User Manual, publication 520-UM001 for details on how to comply with the Low Voltage (LV) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directives.

Important Information
Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety
Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between solid-state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment. The examples and diagrams in this publication are included solely for illustrative purposes.

Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 523 AC Drive Programming-FAQs
What is the operating voltage range for PowerFlex 523?
The PowerFlex 523 supports global voltage classes from 100 to 600 Volts AC, with an input frequency tolerance of 47 to 63 Hz.
What is the voltage tolerance for the PowerFlex 523?
The voltage tolerance is –10% of the minimum and +10% of the maximum. The frequency tolerance is 47–63 Hz.
What does F013 fault on PowerFlex 523 mean?
The F013 fault indicates a ground fault. This can occur if Parameter P039 [Torque Perf Mode] is set to 1 [SVC] and the drive was not autotuned.
How do I clear a fault on a VFD?
To clear a fault, address the root cause first. Then reset the VFD by either cycling the power or pressing the reset button. Monitor the VFD afterward to ensure normal operation.
What are the main components of the PowerFlex system?
The PowerFlex system consists of three main components:
1. Storage Data Server (SDS)
2. Storage Data Client (SDC)
3. Meta Data Manager (MDM)
Version 3.5 introduces a new component called the Storage Data Replicator (SDR).
What modes does PowerFlex Manager support?
PowerFlex Manager can be deployed in three modes:
1. Alerting Mode
2. Managed Mode (requires a license)
3. Lifecycle Mode
How does a VFD control motor speed?
A VFD converts fixed AC power to DC power using a rectifier, smooths it in the DC bus, and then converts it back to AC power at the desired frequency using an inverter. By adjusting the frequency of the AC power, the VFD controls motor speed.
What is the maximum frequency setting for PowerFlex 525?
The default maximum frequency for the PowerFlex 525 is 60 Hz.
What does fault 105 on PowerFlex 523 indicate?
Fault F105 [C Connect Err] or F114 [uC Failure] can suggest excessive common mode noise in the cabinet. Updating to Firmware Revision 7.001 or addressing cabinet noise issues can resolve this fault.
