How to replace PowerFlex 70?

[wendaiyu 0]

Hi, guys, how’s going?

 

I have some questions about replacing PowerFlex 70:

 

1, how to put original parameters to the new one? Install original HMI on the new drive?

 

2, how to take out the HMI and the cover from the drive? They are so tight, even  after I took the screw out.

 

Thanks a lot.

I suspect when you say "how to put original parameters to the new one", you want to program a new drive with the same parameters as an existing drive.  Refer to user manual...Chapter 1 has all parameters and their parameter groups.

Refer to the Quick Start Guide.  Go through the existing drive and make note of the value of every parameter.  Of the ~ 325 parameters, probably 25 are non-default (i.e., programmed).

I am a little late to the show (Have not stopped by this site in a while)  this thread is a few days old, so you probably have figured this out by now.

But.....That drive has a Copy Cat feature, you will see it in the parameter section kaiser_will mentioned. 

You can Upload the parameters from the drive to the HMI.....Then put that HMI into the new drive and Download the parameters into the new drive.

It is very easy to do.

Also you should remove the HMI first before trying to remove the cover of that drive. (Push the black tab that sicks out of the top of the drive and slide the HMI UP.

Forgive me but it sounds like you don't have much experience with VFD's......be very careful they can bite you even after you remove mains power from them.

Good luck and be careful.
