This document provides information about programming and operating an Allen Bradley Powerflex 4M 400W adjustable frequency AC drive. It includes sections about wiring the drive, I/O wiring examples, and parameter organization. The parameter organization section describes numerous drive parameters including output frequency, commanded frequency, output current, drive status, and others. It also separates parameters into categories for display, program, and terminal parameters.

d006 – Drive Status
Present operating condition of the
drive.
The output voltage present at T1, T2 & T3 (U, V & W).
d005 – DC Bus Voltage
Present DC bus voltage level.

10. AB Powerflex 4M
Parameter Organization
d010 – Process Display
The output frequency scaled by A440 [Process Factor] or by A438 [Process Time Lo] and
A439 [Process Time Hi].
d012 – Control Source
Displays the active source of the Start
Command and Speed Command.

11. AB Powerflex 4M
Parameter Organization
d012 – Control In Status
Status of the control terminal block control inputs.
Important: Actual control commands may come from a source other than the control
terminal block.
d018 - Elapsed Run Time
Accumulated time drive is outputting power. Time is displayed in 10-hour increments.

12. AB Powerflex 4M
Parameter Organization
d020 - Analog In 0-10V
The present value of the voltage at I/O Terminal 13 (100.0% = 10 volts).
d021 - Analog In 4-20mA
The present value of the current at I/O Terminal 15 (0.0% = 4mA, 100.0% = 20mA).
d022 - Drive Temperature
Present operating temperature of the drive power section.

13. AB Powerflex 4M
Parameter Organization - Program
P101 – Motor NP Voltage
Stop drive before changing this parameter.
Set to the motor nameplate rated voltage.
P102 – Motor NP Hertz
Stop drive before changing this parameter.
Set to the motor nameplate rated frequency.
P103 – Motor OL Current
Set to the maximum allowable motor current.
P104 – Minimum Frequency
Sets the lowest frequency the drive will output
continuously. Min/Max: 0.0/400.0 Hz
P105 – Maximum Frequency
Sets the highest frequency the drive will output
continuously. Min/Max: 0.0/400.0 Hz

14. AB Powerflex 4M
Parameter Organization - Program
P106 – Start Source
Stop drive before changing this parameter.
Sets the control scheme used to start the drive.
P107 – Stop Mode
Active stop mode for all stop sources
0“Ramp, CF”(1) (Default)
Ramp to Stop. “Stop” command clears
active fault.
1“Coast, CF”(1)
Coast to Stop. “Stop” command clears
active fault.

Parameter Organization - Terminal
t211 – Analog In 0 ~ 10 V Lo
Sets the analog input level that corresponds to P104 [Minimum Freq] if a 010V input is used by P108
Analog inversion can be accomplished by setting this value larger than
t212 [Anlg In 0-10V Hi] or by setting t201 - t202 [Digital Inx Sel] to option
15 “Anlg Invert”.
t212 – Analog In 0 ~ 10 V Hi
Sets the analog input level that corresponds to P105 [Maximum Freq] if a 0-10V input is
used by P108 [Speed Reference].
Analog inversion can be accomplished by setting this value smaller than t211 [Anlg In 010V Lo] or by setting t201 - t202 [Digital Inx Sel] to option 15 “Anlg Invert”.

Parameter Organization - Terminal
t213 – Analog In 4 ~ 20mA Lo
Sets the analog input level that corresponds to P104 [Minimum Freq] if a 420mA input is used by P108 [Speed Reference].
Analog inversion can be accomplished by setting this value larger than t214
[Anlg In4-20mA Hi] or by setting t201 - t202 [Digital Inx Sel] to option 15
“Anlg Invert”.
t214 – Analog In 4 ~ 20mA Hi
