Uploading and Downloading PowerFlex 525 files using Connected Components WorkBench with a 1203-USB

McNaughton-McKay’s Drives Product Manager, Bruce Karjala, has created this video to provide an aid when it comes to uploading/downloading and saving files using Rockwell Automation’s Connected Components Workbench with PowerFlex drives. We will connect the PF525 drive using the DSI serial port with a 1203-USB cable. Many drives are connected via Ethernet to Compact or Control Logix processors, and using the add on profiles, the drives back up parameters and settings are stored in the ACD file of the PLC. The 1203-USB is an excellent tool for you to be able to back up if you are using any communications to the PowerFlex drive. The 1203 USB has a cable that connects to your PC USB port, then an anaconda converter to the drive cable with the DSI RJ485 plug. This connects to the red DSI port of the PF525. All component class drives in the PF family like the 4, 4M, 40, 400 and 520 series use this same connection. The 1203-USB also comes with a DPI cable for connection to architecture class drives such as the 70, 700s and 750 series. Once we connect the cable from the PC to the drive, the green light on the anaconda will begin to flash green establishing the connection. We will then use Connected Components Workbench to access the drive via the 1203-USB.
