With a rated power of 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) and an output current of 13 A, it provides coordinated motor control through embedded dual-port EtherNet/IP communication.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial conveyor and material handling systems

• Packaging and processing machinery

• Automated assembly and production lines

• Pumping and fluid handling equipment

• Industrial fans and ventilation systems

• Machine applications requiring integrated motion control

Advantages

Logix-Based Motion Control Integration

The PowerFlex 527 is designed to operate with compatible Logix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). Drive configuration and control can be integrated into the Studio 5000 Logix Designer environment.

Dual-Port EtherNet/IP Communication

Embedded dual-port EtherNet/IP supports communication with compatible controllers and industrial network devices, helping simplify system integration.

Integrated Safe Torque Off

The drive incorporates Safe Torque Off (STO), supporting machine safety architectures by preventing torque-producing operation when the safety function is activated.

Flexible Motor Control

The PowerFlex 527 supports motor control configurations suited to different industrial loads and operating requirements.

Compact Frame C Design

Its Frame C construction provides a practical installation solution for industrial control cabinets and machinery.

Integrated Braking Capability

The drive supports braking applications through its braking hardware configuration. External braking components should be selected according to the application's stopping requirements.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the rated power of the 25C-D013N104?

The drive is rated at 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) for both normal-duty and heavy-duty applications.

Q2: What input voltage does this model require?

It is designed for 380–480V AC three-phase input. The specified input voltage range is approximately 323–528V AC.

Q3: What is the rated output current?

The rated output current is 13 A. The connected motor's rated current should be checked to ensure compatibility with the drive.

Q4: Does the 25C-D013N104 include an EMC filter?

No. The N104 configuration is supplied without an integral EMC filter. If filtering is required, an appropriate external solution or a filter-equipped drive configuration should be considered.

Q5: Which communication protocol does the PowerFlex 527 support?

It features embedded dual-port EtherNet/IP communication for integration with compatible Logix controllers and industrial automation networks.

Q6: Is the PowerFlex 527 compatible with Studio 5000?

Yes. It is designed for integration with compatible Logix controllers through Studio 5000 Logix Designer. The controller and software versions should meet the drive's compatibility requirements.

Q7: Does this model include Safe Torque Off?

Yes. The PowerFlex 527 includes an integrated Safe Torque Off function. Safety wiring, configuration, and validation must follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable safety standards.

Q8: Can the drive be controlled like a conventional standalone variable-frequency drive?

The PowerFlex 527 is primarily designed for Logix-based control architectures. Its control and programming approach differs from general-purpose PowerFlex 523 and 525 drives.

Q9: What could cause an EtherNet/IP communication fault?

Possible causes include incorrect network settings, damaged Ethernet cables, loose connections, incompatible controller configurations, or network interruptions. Check the drive's communication status and controller diagnostics.

Q10: What should be checked before replacing this drive?

Verify the input voltage, output current, motor rating, Frame C configuration, EMC filter requirements, EtherNet/IP network settings, safety connections, and Logix controller compatibility.
