How to Remove the Control Module of a Powerflex 525 Drive from the Power Module

[@mingovazquez704]

Thanks Tim my company are about to replaced all the power flex 1336 with this 525, this helps a lot

[@TimWilborne]

You are welcome Mingo.

Thank you so much ! When they are touching all together,I use a screwdriver to pry on each side Thanks again!

[@TimWilborne]

Yes, it isn't clear when you first look at it.

[@dennissamuel6492]

Absolutely amazing. Appreciate your time!

[@TimWilborne]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@scottharris8544]

Are the parameters stored in the control module? Got a faulty drive showing speed with no voltage on thr outputwas hoping just to replace the power 🙏 Thank you

[@TimWilborne]

He Scott. Yes they are.

[@michaelcoxfitness6089]

do you have any videos about connecting to the face plate of a 525 and using devicenet to configure the parameters? I only trust your instruction.

[@michaelcoxfitness6089]

my apologizes we had our devicenet go down at the same time I am trying to get this drive working, DriveExecutive. Dad brain!

[@TimWilborne]

No, I haven't used that in a long time.

@@TimWilborne I figured we are discovering how to use the old software on windows 10, it’s quite challenging especially when you have no knowledge of the past. My problem is how to make a .pf5 file, created in CCW and use the usb to upload that file.

What are you methods for addressing F110 keypad membrane faults?

[@TimWilborne]

I haven't ran into that one but it looks like you would have to replace the control module.

[@Griffin_Sniped_U]

@@TimWilborne we often do instead of changing the whole drive since we can't afford to have a machine down that long. Can be tricky getting the ip address with the membrane failing.

[@TimWilborne]

@@Griffin_Sniped_U The PLC Tools SIM-IPE will solve that problem. Here is a video showing it reading and writing an IP address to a Powerflex 525. www.theautomationstore.com/plc-tools-sim-ipe-reading-and-writing-an-ip-address-to-an-allen-bradley-powerflex-drive/

[@merrittessig6081]

Thank you. I've been doing wrong as well

[@TimWilborne]

Seems lots of people have. It is obvious once you see it done the right way but I sure didn't see it before then.

[@brstilson]

They come off hard for me even when I pull out forward, but I'll try the wiggle next time.

[@JohnSmith-lv8xk]

Don't feel bad I went around and around with one not realizing the safety jumper was missing 🤦‍♂️
