How can a Powerflex755TL VFD be configured to detect loss of power at the motor (power disconnect at the motor) as a fault and remove the run command to the motor?

The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755T VFD can be configured to detect a loss of power at the motor and remove the run command by utilizing the Safe Torque Off (STO) function. This function ensures that torque is not applied when required for safety. Additionally, the drive logic command word includes bits for fault detection and control, such as the "Clear Faults" bit, which can be used to respond to power loss conditions. Proper ladder logic programming in the Logix Designer application can also be implemented to monitor motor power loss and execute the required safety actions.

Equipment Shipped with the Drive Since the EtherNet/IP interface is built in the main control board in the PowerFlex 755T drive, it is always a part of the drive. There are no separate physical installation instructions for the interface. Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017...
Getting Started Chapter 1 User-supplied Equipment To configure the built-in EtherNet/IP interface, you must supply the following: • A small flat-blade screwdriver for setting the network address switches. • An Ethernet cable (for details, see the EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation Manual, ODVA publication 148, available on the ODVA website at http://odva.org/Home/ODVATECHNOLOGIES/...
Chapter 1 Getting Started Choose an Ethernet Switch If the built-in EtherNet/IP interface is used to communicate with a controller that has multicast connections, a managed switch that supports IGMP snooping is suggested. EtherNet/IP implicit (I/O) messaging can be configured to use IP multicast to distribute I/O control data, which is consistent with the CIP-based network Producer/ Consumer model.
Getting Started Chapter 1 Safety Precautions Read the following safety precautions carefully. ATTENTION: • Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel familiar with drive and power products and the associated machinery can plan or implement the installation, start up, configuration. Only qualified personnel can perform subsequent maintenance of the drive by using this built-in interface.

Configure the Interface Chapter 2 Figure on page 28 and its accompanying table for switch settings and their related descriptions. IMPORTANT When using the interface rotary switches, set the IP address before power is applied because the interface uses the switch settings that it detects when it first receives power.
Page 26
Chapter 2 Configure the Interface IMPORTANT Regardless of the method that is used to set the interface IP address, each node on the EtherNet/IP network must have a unique IP address. To change an IP address, you must set the new value and then remove and reapply power to (or reset) the interface.

Chapter 2 Configure the Interface TIP To enable BOOTP or DHCP for an interface that has had BOOTP/DHCP disabled, first select the interface in the Relation List. Then, depending on the type of server, click Enable BOOTP or Enable DHCP and, lastly, reset the interface or power cycle the drive.
Configure the Interface Chapter 2 Setting Communication A hierarchy determines the type of device with which the interface exchanges data. In a Controller hierarchy, the interface exchanges data with the Hierarchy ControlLogix® controller or another communication bridge. When a multicast I/O connection is used or when the interface does not have a valid gateway address, the controller must be on the same IP subnet as the interface to establish an I/O connection.

Configure the Interface Chapter 2 IMPORTANT Always use the datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order. Start with the first parameter. For example, use 0:340…344 to configure five datalinks to read data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection size is larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.
Chapter 2 Configure the Interface Setting a Fault Action By default, when the drive is controlled by the network or receives information from the network; communication is disrupted. The drive responds by faulting, if it is using I/O from the network. Possible causes include that the network cable is disconnected, the controller is idle (in Program mode or faulted), or Explicit Messaging for drive control is disrupted.
Configure the Interface Chapter 2 Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required. If communication is disrupted and then re-established, the drive automatically receives commands over the network again. Setting the Fault Configuration Parameters When, these Port 0:Parameters are set to ‘Send Flt Cfg’: •...

Peripheral Changes When Using ADC The PowerFlex 755T drives and bus supplies check the power peripherals (power modules, LCL filters, precharge modules, and Torque Accuracy Modules) every time it powers up. During power up, the system checks to see if the peripherals are the same and in the same order.
The configuration change must be manually accepted by entering a value of ' A ccept' (1) in 0:91 [Cfg Acknowledge]. IMPORTANT After a power peripheral change is detected, the PowerFlex 755T does not accept downloads from the controller until the configuration change is accepted in 0:91 [Cfg Acknowledge].

Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System IMPORTANT Firmware Supervisor cannot be used to update the 20-750-S1 module firmware, due to unique upgrade components within its safety core.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Method 1 1. Connect via the Ethernet by using a second configuration tool, such as Connected Component Workbench (CCW). 2. Change any unused parameters in the drive and/or peripheral ports. Note the parameter value before and after your change.

Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3 Best Practices When using ADC in your control system, adhere to the following recommendations: • To configure a drive, use only the Studio 5000 environment drive AOP. If another tool is used to configure the drive, complete the drive configuration and then upload the configuration to the drive AOP and save your project.

PowerFlex drive and sets its reference. I/O connections can also be used to transfer data to and from datalinks in PowerFlex 755T drives. The interface includes the logic command, logic status, reference, feedback, and memory allocation for the generic Ethernet module profile (all as 32-bit words) in the I/O image of the controller.

Additional I/O, if needed, can be set using up to 16 datalinks to write data and/or up to 16 datalinks to read data. When using any combination of these datalinks, add one 32-bit word for each datalink to the basic I/O Input Size and/or Output Size.
Using the I/O Chapter 4 Table 6 shows the I/O image when using all 32-bit datalinks. Table 6 - ControlLogix I/O Image for PowerFlex 755T Drives (32-bit Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks) DINT Output (Controller to Drive) I/O DINT Input (Drive to Controller) I/O...
32.5 Hz 32.5 (1) The effects of values less than 0.0 depend on whether the PowerFlex 755T drive uses a bipolar or unipolar direction mode. See the drive documentation for details. (2) For this example, drive 10:1891 - [Velocity Units] is set to Hz.
Datalinks for PowerFlex 755T peripherals are locked when the peripheral has an I/O connection with a controller. For example, the built-in EtherNet/IP interface on PowerFlex 755T drives only, and option modules such as an encoder or a communication module. When a controller has an I/O connection to the drive, the drive does not allow anything that could change the makeup of the I/O connection in a running system.

Questions and answers
How can a Powerflex755TL VFD be configured to detect loss of power at the motor (power disconnect at the motor) as a fault and remove the run command to the motor?
The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755T VFD can be configured to detect a loss of power at the motor and remove the run command by utilizing the Safe Torque Off (STO) function. This function ensures that torque is not applied when required for safety. Additionally, the drive logic command word includes bits for fault detection and control, such as the "Clear Faults" bit, which can be used to respond to power loss conditions. Proper ladder logic programming in the Logix Designer application can also be implemented to monitor motor power loss and execute the required safety actions.
