SINGAPORE, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

New PowerFlex 755TS drive now available across Asia Pacific - plays major role

in motor control applications, helps reduce downtime and gets motors running

faster

Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to

industrial automation and digital transformation, announced the launch of

PowerFlex AC variable frequency drive portfolio in Asia Pacific to support a

broader range of motor control applications. This will give customers more

flexibility, performance and intelligence in their next generation drive

through TotalFORCE Technology.

The new PowerFlex 755TS drive(

) is the first six-pulse drive to incorporate TotalFORCE technology from

Rockwell Automation to help customers get the most out of their equipment.

Previously only available in PowerFlex 755T drives with active front-end

technology, TotalFORCE can now be used in a wider range of applications. This

includes traditional fan, pump, and conveyor applications, and more advanced

motor control processes that require high-performance features typically found

in specialized drive solutions.

This addition brings a simplified and consistent user experience to virtually

any motor control application in three key ways:

- Flexible, high-performance control: The drive's power range, voltage classes

and performance capabilities meet the requirements of a wide range of motor

control applications. This allows users to leverage a common drive for multiple

applications, which can simplify support and reduce burdens on staff.

- Operational intelligence: Built-in predictive models use continuous operation

monitoring to calculate the expected remaining life of drive components. These

insights help users reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance costs by

replacing components as needed instead of on a fixed schedule.

- Eased commissioning and optimization: Using a suite of features referred to

as Adaptive Control, the drive monitors machine characteristics that can change

over time and automatically compensates for changes. This helps users

commission the drive quickly and maintain it for the life of the drive without

a tuning expert. It also helps reduce mechanical wear and improve uptime.

"Significantly more industrial companies can experience the benefits of

TotalFORCE technology now that it's available in a traditional six-pulse

drive," said Sav Papadopoulos, business manager for low voltage drives, Asia

Pacific, Rockwell Automation. "No other drive on the market delivers the

combined performance and intelligence capabilities of the PowerFlex 755TS

drive, which helps improve operational productivity and reduce burdens on the

workforce."

The PowerFlex 755TS drive is available with an option for enhanced corrosive

gas protection (XT) that helps improve uptime and extend the drive's operating

life in corrosive gas environments. The drive has been tested and validated in

one of the most severe corrosive-environment-test protocols. These tests

combine industry-leading, 30-day exposure in mixed flow gas testing per ASTM

B845 Method K with additional proprietary tests that go beyond any industry

standard requirement known to date.

To help strengthen cybersecurity in industrial operations, the 755TS drive is

CIP Security capable. When implemented, CIP Security helps fortify a control

system by providing data authenticity, integrity and confidentiality. This

helps defend against the risk of someone remotely accessing a network and

acting maliciously.

The 755TS drive is designed to ease migration from other PowerFlex 750 drives.

The 755TS drive is also a drop-in mechanical and electrical replacement for

other PowerFlex 755 drives, even using the same physical dimensions,

mounting-hole and wiring locations. It also uses the same slot-based

architecture that allows users to continue using I/O and safety cards from

their existing 750 drives. Lastly, Premier Integration(

) into the Logix control platform helps ease drive configuration and

programming.
