How to Wire a Powerflex 525 for a 2 Wire Contact Closure

[@iangb3869]

Great Vid thank you... easy and straight to the point.

[@TimWilborne]

Glad it was helpful!

Does the stop bit from comms override 2 wire control when the terminal block is the currently selected start? Longer Explanation: There's a 525 that is being controlled over ethernet. An Electrician was asked to add an HOA switch. He wired Hand to terminal 2 and set ti to 2-wire FWD. He wired Auto to terminal 7 and set it to SPEED+START 3. Speed 3 and Start 3 were set to Ethernet. Speed 1 is set to keypad and Start 1 is Set to terminal block. If the switch is in the off position it is always off. In Auto, it works as intended. In Hand, it will only start if ethernet calls for it to start anyway. I think the solution is to only pulse the stop bit but I may not be able to get access to the PLC.

There is a little more to it, you are going to need to configure more parameters...see if page 49 helps. literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf

What did yo use to power vfd I bought 3 phase do I need inverter now or how to power it up from 120V household?

[@TimWilborne]

Not all drives that output 3 phase power require 3 phase input. Our trainers use a 120VAC drive so they plug into standard wall power.

[@FollowerofYahuwah]

Will you do a ladder logic program, an hmi controlling a vfd with speed control via hmi

[@TimWilborne]

Yes, it is on the way :)

[@jsg8803]

Thanks for the video however explaining the designation of those pins and why some pins are shorted would be very helpful.

[@TimWilborne]

Next week we explain the jumper :) The pin designations depends on your particular configuration. We'll get into some of the details of that in the coming videos but really they can be considered configurable inputs and outputs and we'll be going through some of their optional configurations.

@@TimWilborne Thankyou looking forward for your new video.

Hi, is the LCD screen powered by mains or 24v? Thank you!

[@TimWilborne]

Hi Kayleigh. It is powered by the mains but you can configure it with a USB connector by removing the power module. Here is a how to do it. twcontrols.com/lessons/how-to-upload-and-download-parameters-from-a-control-module-of-an-allen-bradley-powerflex-525-drive Also I didn't remove the control module correctly in the above link. Here is how to correctly remove the control module. twcontrols.com/lessons/how-to-remove-the-control-module-of-a-powerflex-525-drive-from-the-power-module

[@johnoconnell5066]

how do you use a 0-10v control and also be able to manually use the keypad if needed?

[@TimWilborne]

You could add a second speed reference and use an input to switch between them.

[@pradeep12ful]

powerflex525 has single phase input and three phase output power, is it possible to use the single-phase load for testing??

[@TimWilborne]

Not under load but it will power up to configure. Make sure you have a matching input voltage

[@maresnjay]

How do you wire a toggle switch to increase/decrease frequency?

[@TimWilborne]

We have a video coming on that Jordan but pretty much you configure two of your inputs, one for increment and one for decrement.

[@ajmalaja9888]

Hello sir.. Could you explain wiring diagram?..

[@TimWilborne]

How to read one?

[@ajmalaja9888]

@@TimWilborne can you explain wiring connection between fan and vfd

[@TimWilborne]

It is a three phase fan so there are 3 wires and ground. They go to T1, T2, and T3. Here is a video on how motors rotate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6iwmKKpZtCBZ9U

[@shoaebalam7968]

What is the parameter we have to set for 2 wire and three wire configuration

[@TimWilborne]

The parameters for 2 wire are in this video you are commenting in. Here is how to do 3 wire. twcontrols.com/lessons/how-to-wire-and-configure-an-allen-bradley-powerflex-525-ac-drive-for-a-startstop-3-wire-control

100% would give you dome Rn, in a roof space with an apprentice sweating my nob off

[@TimWilborne]

👍

[@michaelpaeschke168]

the Hz are still adjustable with this configuration

[@TimWilborne]

That is correct, p47 determines the speed reference

[@drgeorgewillis]

​@@TimWilborne P47 and 2

[@MyPrahlad]

Thanks sir 👍 very good information 👍 I need jog operation kindly make one video on this topic,

[@TimWilborne]

That is what the video you are commenting on does. Just use a momentary switch in place of the two position switch that I used in the video.
