Tks for video. I have a question, can you help me? Is there a way to get all the data from the Powerflex 525 over Ethernet without an Allen-Bradley software or get data (parameter:basic display) from Connect Components Workbench?

[@mcnaughtonmckay]

Hello, Yes, you can get this data from Connected Components Workbench over Ethernet but you cannot do this without Allen Bradley software. If you have further questions or concerns, please reach out to your local Rockwell Automation distributor.

Hello, will this program work with a PowerFlex 4M drive? It has a RS485 port

[@mcnaughtonmckay]

Hello, Yes, PowerFlex 4M drives can be programmed with CCW. Once in CCW, create a new project and name it respectively. Then, under the Add device selection screen click the Drives drop-down menu. The PowerFlex 4M drive will appear under the “PowerFlex 4-Class” folder. If you have further questions or concerns, please reach out to your local Rockwell Automation distributor for personalized support.

This will not work in multi-drive mode that are utilizing 5 devices on one node. Is there way a to pull parameters off devicenet, using the scanner module in CCW or do you have to use driveexcutive with RSnetworx

[@mcnaughtonmckay]

Sorry for the delayed response! Both CCW and DriveExecutive can be used to connect to the drive over DeviceNet if you are using a 22-COMM-D or 25-COMM-D adapter. We recommend using CCW as it is an active software product from Rockwell Automation receiving new features + patches. Alternately, the PowerFlex 525 parameters can be backed up with a USB connection when the drive is unpowered. Refer to the PowerFlex 525 User Manual for more details: literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf If you have any additional questions, please reach out to your local Rockwell Automation distributor!

[@mcnaughtonmckay]

Hello, Please contact your local Rockwell Distributor to purchase DriveExecutive (catalog #: 9303-4DTE01ENE). Then you can download it from the following website: compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx If you are local to one of our branches, we would be happy to assist you: www.mc-mc.com/locations

Is the .ccwsln the only file that's required as a backup? I also have a .ccwsuo in my folder, what is this for?

[@mcnaughtonmckay]

Hi Martin, Here's some info that might be helpful: .ccwsln - CCW Project File - This is the file extension of the project that is saved. This contains all devices/trends in the Project Organizer when the project was saved. Note: This file cannot be opened unless it is located in the original directory it was created in. A user cannot transfer a .ccwsln out of the project folder and open it alone. The entire project folder must be sent with the .ccwsln file to be opened. .ccwsuo--This file keeps track of where all the pieces of the project are located. Bottom line - CCW creates them and it's best to leave them as they are. If you have further questions or concerns, we recommend reaching out to your local Rockwell Automation distributor for personalized support.

[@martinmchugh1924]

@@mcnaughtonmckay Thank you very much. I really appreciate that detailed response. I will consider the entire folder as 'the backup' and leave them intact when storing. 👍

This did not work for me. Getting a file from and existing project into a new drive with default parameters doesn't work like this in the field.

[@mcnaughtonmckay]

Hello and thanks for reaching out! To best troubleshoot your question we would need a bit more information and suggest a conversation with our technical team, or that of your local distributor, who can speak with you on your specific setup.

I can't do this in studio ?

[@mcnaughtonmckay]

Hello, That is correct. This functionality is intended for CCW, not Studio 5000. If you want to learn more about the offerings mentioned here, please reach out to your local Rockwell Automation distributor for further information.

@@mcnaughtonmckay through ccw if I connect to a local switch where all the powerflexes are connected can I pull the backup files that way instead of plugging into them.one by one

[@mcnaughtonmckay]

@@DSNCB919 Yes, as long as you can see the drives in RSLinx through the switch, you should be able to access the backup files. We still suggest reaching out to your local Rockwell Automation distributor for support specific to your application if you have any concerns. locator.rockwellautomation.com/

Hi Arun, Double check that your wiring exactly matches the diagrams shown on page 11 of the Quick Start Guide (literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/qs/520-qs001_-en-e.pdf). You can also check your digital ins under parameter 14, detailed on page 19 of the Quick Start Guide, and follow the Smart Start-Up guide which starts on page 21. If you need further assistance, please contact Rockwell Automation as these drives qualify for free support from Rockwell Technical Support.
