The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 527 ac drive works exclusively with a Logix-based PAC and uses the Rockwell Software Studio 5000 Logix Designer. The drive complements machines using Allen-Bradley CompactLogix, ControlLogix or GuardLogix PACs and Allen-Bradley Kinetix servo drives. The PowerFlex drive uses embedded instructions shared with Kinetix servo drives, providing the same user experience for configuration, programming and control of both types of drives. The drive also can be used for machine applications that need simple speed control for induction motors. The servo drive handles the more precise motor control operations involving speed, torque and position control.
