Course content

3 sections • 16 lectures • 2h 13m total length

  • PowerFlex 525 Hardware Overview6:40

    Explore the PowerFlex 525 hardware overview, detailing single-phase input, three-phase output, front panel controls, wiring terminals, modular rail-mount design, and Ethernet IP and DSI interfaces for programming.

  • PowerFlex 525 Connecting Power & Turning On the VFD4:17

    Connect and power a PowerFlex 525 VFD from 110 VAC, wiring ground, phase, and neutral, boot the drive, view and modify parameters, and perform factory reset and fault reset.

  • PowerFlex 525 Wiring a 3 Phase Motor to the Variable Frequency Drive5:54

    Wire a three-phase motor to a PowerFlex 525 drive, aligning the U, V, W terminals and ground, while confirming three-phase input and a 110-volt supply.

  • PowerFlex 525 Quick Start Documentation Walkthrough9:38

    Master the PowerFlex 525 quick start by reviewing frame sizes, mounting considerations, and zero stacking, then wire input/output, configure jumpers, and reset defaults to safely start the motor.

  • PowerFlex 525 Basic Parameter Setting for Motor9:30

    Configure PowerFlex 525 basic parameters by setting language, 220 v, 60 hz, and 1600 rpm; adjust acceleration and deceleration times, and explore max/min frequency and start source options.

  • Starting & Stopping the Drive through Digital Outputs of the PLC8:06

    Configure a PowerFlex 525 drive to start and stop from a PLC digital input, wiring digital common and terminal zero two, and set P046 to 2 for digital start source.

  • Running the Drive in Reverse through a Digital Output2:51
  • Setting a Speed Reference from the Keypad instead of Potentiometer4:28

    Configure the PowerFlex 525 to use keypad frequency (p47) for a fixed drive speed instead of the potentiometer, selecting p47, p49, and p51 values and validating a 60 Hz setting.

Requirements

  • Basic Computer Skills
  • Basic Hardware Knowledge
  • Basic Exposure to Automation Systems

Description

This class will teach you everything you need to know about PowerFlex 525 Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

This class takes a hands on approach; within the first few lectures, we will start working with actual hardware and begin exploring the PowerFlex 525. Throughout the course, you can expect me to provide you will start to finish information in order to wire the drive, setup the parameters & control it through a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

The class is broken down into sequential modules & assumes no prior knowledge from the student. We take one step at a time & build the knowledge in every lecture. We make sure to discuss common pitfalls and best practices when it comes to working with this family of frequency drives.

What are the requirements for the class?

  • You don't need any hardware or software to follow the lectures. However, in order to get the most out of the lectures, it's recommended to take notes, go through the manual (included in the class) & to implement the steps on your own time.

  • Basic computer literacy is assumed.

What can I expect from this class?

  • You will learn about the hardware & how to install it within a manufacturing environment.

  • You will learn about the different parameters which need to be configured in order to properly setup & utilize the PowerFlex 525 VFD.

  • You will learn basic control methods which don't require any additional hardware.

  • You will learn advanced control methods which utilize the EtherNet/IP protocol as well as an 1769-L24ER-QB1B PLC Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

  • You will become confident in working with these Variable Frequency Drives.

What is the target audience for the class?

  • Electrical Engineers looking for a crash course on VFDs.

  • Electrical Technicians / Electricians looking to expand their knowledge into controls.

  • Software Engineers who are seeking to learn about controlling hardware.

  • Manufacturing Operators looking to progress in their career.

  • Anyone interested in how manufacturing processes are executed.

Who this course is for:

  • Electrical Technicians
  • Electrical Engineers
  • Operators
  • Electricians
  • Maintenance Supervisors
  • Anyone interested in manufacturing automation systems
