Allen Bradley 20BE062A0ANNAND0 PowerFlex 700 AC Drive

Industrial Applications and Motor Control

The 20BE062A0ANNAND0 is designed for medium-to-high-power AC motor applications where adjustable speed, controlled acceleration, and programmable motor operation are required.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial conveyor systems
• Material handling machinery
• Centrifugal and process pumps
• Cooling and ventilation fans
• Compressors
• Production and assembly machinery
• Paper and converting equipment
• Process-control systems
• Industrial HVAC equipment
• Mining and bulk-material handling
• Machine tools
• General manufacturing equipment

The 62 A output rating provides sufficient capacity for a broad range of industrial motors. The drive can regulate motor speed according to process requirements, reducing the need for mechanical speed-control equipment and allowing acceleration and deceleration behavior to be configured within the drive.

The vector-control architecture is useful when improved speed regulation is required compared with conventional scalar control. Since this specific model does not include feedback, it is particularly appropriate for applications where sensorless vector control provides sufficient performance.

Core Features and Engineering Benefits

600 VAC three-phase operation
The 20BE062A0ANNAND0 is designed for 600 VAC three-phase industrial power and supports 60 HP normal-duty and 50 HP heavy-duty motor applications.

62 A output capability
The drive provides 62 A continuous output current, making it suitable for relatively large industrial motors while retaining the compact Frame 4 PowerFlex 700 architecture.

Vector control with 120V I/O
This catalog configuration uses vector control with 120V I/O. The I/O voltage is an important consideration when replacing an existing drive because different PowerFlex 700 configurations may use different control-voltage arrangements.

Blank HIM configuration
The drive is supplied without a Human Interface Module and uses a blank plate. This configuration is appropriate for installations where local keypad operation is not required or where control and monitoring are handled through the plant automation system.

No feedback option
The 20BE062A0ANNAND0 is configured without motor feedback. Sensorless vector control can therefore be used where encoder feedback is not required.

No internal communication module
This specific configuration does not include an internal communication module. External control architecture and available communication options should be evaluated separately when integrating the drive into a PLC or automation network.

No brake IGBT or internal brake resistor
The drive does not contain a brake IGBT or drive-mounted brake resistor. Applications involving rapid deceleration or significant regenerative energy should be evaluated for a suitable external braking arrangement.

EMC filter and common-mode choke
The drive incorporates a second-environment EMC filter and common-mode choke, helping manage electrical interference in industrial drive installations.

IP20 / NEMA Type 1 enclosure
The drive uses an IP20 / NEMA/UL Type 1 enclosure and should be installed within an appropriate industrial cabinet or enclosure according to the environmental requirements of the application.

10 Technical FAQs

1. What is the rated input voltage of the 20BE062A0ANNAND0?
The drive is designed for 600 VAC, three-phase industrial power and belongs to the 500–690 VAC PowerFlex 700 voltage class.

2. What is the output current rating?
The continuous output current rating is 62 A. The applicable overload and short-duration current capability depends on the selected duty rating and operating conditions.

3. What motor horsepower is supported?
The drive is rated for 60 HP under normal-duty operation and 50 HP under heavy-duty operation. Motor selection should also be based on the motor's actual full-load current and application duty.

4. Does this model use vector control?
Yes. The 20BE062A0ANNAND0 uses vector control with 120V I/O. This provides improved speed-control capability for suitable motor applications.

5. Does the drive support encoder feedback?
This catalog configuration is supplied without a feedback option. If closed-loop encoder control is required, a PowerFlex 700 configuration equipped with the appropriate feedback hardware should be selected.

6. Does this model include a Human Interface Module?
No. The model uses a blank plate instead of a HIM. Drive commissioning and control therefore need to be handled through the available control and configuration interfaces.

7. Is an internal braking resistor included?
No. The 20BE062A0ANNAND0 does not include a drive-mounted brake resistor or brake IGBT. An external braking solution may be necessary for applications requiring rapid stopping or dissipation of regenerative energy.

8. Can this drive be controlled by a PLC?
Yes. The PowerFlex 700 platform can be integrated into PLC-based control systems using appropriate I/O and communication arrangements. The exact network architecture should be determined separately because this catalog configuration does not include an internal communication module.

9. What can cause an overcurrent fault when starting a motor?
Potential causes include incorrect motor nameplate data, an acceleration time that is too short, excessive mechanical load, incorrect motor wiring, motor problems, or inappropriate drive parameters. Motor data and acceleration settings should be checked during commissioning.

10. What should be verified before replacing this drive?
Input voltage, output current, motor horsepower, duty rating, I/O voltage, feedback configuration, communication requirements, braking requirements, enclosure arrangement, and the complete catalog number should all be compared before selecting a replacement
