Configured for integrated drive control and logic execution in PowerFlex 700S platforms, the Allen-Bradley 20D-DL2-CKE1 (20D-DL2-CKE1 Control Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution for DriveLogix5730 processing tasks.

Module Configuration & Assembly

The 20D-DL2-CKE1 functions as a DriveLogix control upgrade kit designed specifically for the PowerFlex 700S Phase II architecture. This assembly incorporates an expanded cassette interface to house the DriveLogix5730 processor, enabling high-performance local sequence control and data handling within the drive environment.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Control & Network Communication

The PowerFlex 700S platform utilizes high-speed backplane bus communication to maintain deterministic performance across automated control networks. This control module supports firmware flash compatibility, allowing localized updates to drive control algorithms and integrated logic programs. The DriveLogix processor enables I/O density scaling, ensuring precise synchronization of complex drive-based motion tasks within multi-axis systems.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions:

  Use a grounded wrist strap when handling the module to prevent damage to sensitive internal circuitry on the DriveLogix processor board.

• Cassette Seating:

  Ensure the module is correctly aligned with the host drive backplane pins before applying force to lock the cassette into the drive chassis.

• Grounding Continuity:

  Verify that the module chassis maintains a solid metal-to-metal contact with the host drive frame to ensure appropriate shielding and noise mitigation.

• Cabling Management:

  Route all logic-level I/O cabling away from high-current power leads to maintain signal integrity for the integrated PLC functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the DriveLogix5730 processor pre-installed?

  This kit is designed to support the DriveLogix5730 integration; verify if the processor card is included in the specific shipping package version.

• Does this module require an external power supply?

  No. The module derives its operating power directly from the host drive's backplane internal power supply.

• Can firmware be updated through this module?

  Yes. Firmware updates for both the module and the integrated DriveLogix processor are managed through the drive's primary communication interface.

• Is this compatible with PowerFlex 700 Phase I drives?

  No. This component is specifically engineered for the PowerFlex 700S Phase II control architecture.

• What happens if the module is removed while powered?

  Removing the control module while the drive is energized will result in a communications fault and an immediate cessation of all drive control logic.

• How is the DriveLogix logic programmed?

  Programming is performed via standard industrial automation engineering software compatible with the DriveLogix5730 environment.

• Does this kit provide additional I/O terminals?

  The module enables access to the expanded cassette features, which may include additional I/O depending on the specific DriveLogix daughter card configuration.

• Is the module field-replaceable?

  Yes, the module is a field-replaceable unit. Always ensure the host drive is fully isolated from mains power before initiating replacement.
