Programming and Parameters
This chapter provides a complete listing and description of the PowerFlex 520-
series drive parameters. Parameters are programmed (viewed/edited) using either
the drive’s built-in keypad, RSLogix 5000 version 17.0 or greater, Logix Designer
version 21.0 or greater, o r Connected Components Workbench version 5.0 or
greater software. The Connected Components Workbench software can be used
offline (through USB) to upload parameter configurations to the drive or online
(through Ethernet connection).
Limited functionality is also available when using the Connected Components
Workbench software online (through DSI and serial converter module), a legacy
external HIM, or legacy software online (DriveTools SP™). When using these
methods, the parameter list can only be displayed linearly, and there is no access
to communications option card programming.
About Parameters
To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, drive parameters may have to be
set. Three types of parameters exist:
•ENUM
ENUM parameters allow a selection from 2 or more items. Each item is
represented by a number.
•Numeric Parameters
These parameters have a single numerical value (0.1V).
