Allen Bradley 25C-D1P4N114 PowerFlex 527 AC Drive

Applications

The 25C-D1P4N114 PowerFlex 527 AC Drive is designed for tightly integrated industrial automation systems where drive performance is coordinated directly through a controller-based architecture. It is commonly used in:

• Synchronized conveyor systems in production lines
• Automated packaging and assembly machines
• Material handling systems requiring coordinated motion control
• OEM machinery integrated with Logix-based PLC platforms
• Factory automation systems requiring EtherNet/IP connectivity
• Multi-drive coordinated industrial applications

This drive is best suited for system-level automation rather than standalone motor control, enabling precise synchronization across multiple devices.

Advantages

• System-Centric Design — Built to work seamlessly with Logix controllers for coordinated control
• Integrated EtherNet/IP Communication — Supports fast, deterministic industrial networking
• Compact Industrial Footprint — 172 × 72 × 152 mm for efficient panel integration
• High Control Precision — Stable speed and torque regulation for automation tasks
• Energy Efficient Operation — Optimized motor control reduces power consumption
• Built-In Safety Functions — Supports industrial safety architectures
• Streamlined Commissioning — Configuration integrated within Studio 5000 environments
