Rockwell Automation Brings Smarter Drive Capabilities to More Applications
SINGAPORE, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

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( 
https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/products/hardware/allen-bradley/drives-and-motors/low-voltage-ac-drives/architecture-drives/20g-powerflex-755t.html?utm_source=Marketing&utm_medium=PublicRelations&utm_content=PowerFlex755TSDrive_NewsRelease_November042021&utm_campaign=PowerControl_Global_XX_EN_ 
) 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.
