Product details
1.5kw 4amp ND & HD (PowerFlex 527 Drives) from Rockwell Automation.
Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 527 AC Drives — Integrated Motion & High-Performance Motor Control for Logix-Based Systems
The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 527 series is purpose-built for automation environments that rely on integrated motion control and require seamless connectivity with Allen-Bradley Logix controllers. Designed for machine builders, OEMs, and advanced industrial automation projects, the 527 series delivers precision motor control, simplified commissioning and high-performance EtherNet/IP integration across all power ratings.
Unlike traditional standalone VSDs, the PowerFlex 527 is engineered to work exclusively with Studio 5000 Logix Designer, treating the drive as an extension of the Logix motion system. This enables faster deployment, richer diagnostics, and coordinated motion profiles for complex machinery.
Key Features (Applies to All Power Ratings)
Integrated Motion Over EtherNet/IP
- Designed specifically for use with CompactLogix and ControlLogix PACs
- Supports Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP for coordinated multi-axis applications
- Motion profiles, speed control, torque regulation and accel/decel are all configured directly from Studio 5000
- Ideal for synchronised systems with conveyors, robotics, indexing machines and high-speed packaging
Logix-Based Configuration & Programming
- All parameters are created, adjusted and downloaded through Studio 5000 Logix Designer
- No standalone programming environment required
- Simplifies machine design, commissioning and long-term support
- Eliminates parameter mismatch issues common in conventional VSDs
High-Performance Motor Control
- Supports induction motors and permanent magnet motors
- Advanced torque regulation and speed accuracy
- Suitable for both Normal Duty (ND) and Heavy Duty (HD) applications
- Smooth acceleration and precise motion response across all power sizes
Built-In EtherNet/IP Connectivity
- Native single-port EtherNet/IP
- Seamless integration with Logix PLCs, PanelView HMIs, and plant networks
- Supports real-time status, diagnostics, energy data, load monitoring and drive health
- Enables remote access for commissioning and troubleshooting
Compact, Machine-Builder Friendly Design
- Minimal panel footprint across all power ratings
- Side-by-side mounting to conserve cabinet space
- Removable control module for rapid replacement or offline configuration
- Ideal for OEM skids, multi-axis machines, and high-density control panels
Simplified Commissioning & Maintenance
- Motor data, tuning and safety settings are pulled from the Logix project
- Reduced wiring complexity compared to traditional drives
- Auto-device replacement support (ADR) when used with Logix PACs
- Faster startup for new machines and OEM deployments
Typical Applications Across All Power Ratings
