A Rockwell Automation product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Dec 4, 2008

The Powerflex 755 AC drive provides users with complete control of motor speed, torque and position to help increase system throughput and efficiency.

The drive offers power control versatility from 7.5 to 250kW or 10 to 350HP at 400/480V AC and 540/650V DC input.

It is suited for many industries including converting, automotive, machinery, food and beverage, material handling, metals, mining, and tire and rubber.

The Powerflex 755 meets global standards and certifications, and supports multiple languages.

'A variety of supporting options makes the Powerflex 755 a highly functional drive for simple and demanding drive applications,' said Anthony Newkirk, drives product manager of Rockwell Automation.

'The application flexibility and simple integration make this drive suitable for machine builders and system integrators looking to reduce engineering costs, deliver machines to market faster, and meet end user demand for safer and higher performance machines.' The Powerflex 755 AC drive offers customers more versatility in motor control and supporting control hardware options than any other drive in its class, said Rockwell.

Devicelogix control embedded in the drive combines inputs and/or outputs and local logic functions to determine the drive's behaviour.

Embedded Ethernet allows users to configure, control and collect drive data over Ethernet/IP networks.

Users can configure the drive to provide advanced notification of operating data for drive cooling fans, I/O relay cycles, motor run time hours and advanced warning of potential faults.

Safety options, that include safe torque-off and safe speed montioring, embedded into the drive, help customers reduce overall system costs while helping to protect personnel and equipment and improve productivity.

The Powerflex 755 is designed with a slot-based mechanical architecture allowing customers, to 'build' the drive with as few or as many options for I/O, feedback, safety, communications, and auxiliary control power as an application requires.
