PowerFlex 6000 Drive (P_PF6000) The P_PF6000 (PowerFlex 6000 drive) object is used to operate one variable-speed motor by using a PowerFlex 6000 medium voltage variable frequency AC drive. The drive operates via an add-on EtherNet/IP interface. The Add-On Instruction controls the drive in various modes and monitors fault conditions.
You can use the P_D4SD or P_nPos instruction for motors with multiple discrete speeds. • You are using a drive other than the PowerFlex 6000 drive. Instead, use these Add-On Instructions: – P_PF52x for the PowerFlex 523 or PowerFlex 525 drive on an EtherNet/IP network –...
