Allen-Bradley 20BD034A0AYNANC1 PowerFlex 700 AC Drive
A Frame 2 vector-control drive rated for 25 hp normal duty and 20 hp heavy duty, with standard encoder feedback and conformal-coated IP20 construction.
Key Information
20BD034A0AYNANC1 is a PowerFlex 700 drive for applications that require the standard encoder-feedback configuration. The catalog code defines a 480 V class unit with vector control and 24 V I/O in a conformal-coated panel-mount enclosure.
It is supplied without a HIM or internal communication module, so installed systems may use separately selected operator and network options.
Functions
- Implements sine-coded PWM motor control with selectable V/Hz, sensorless-vector and vector modes.
- Accepts standard incremental encoder feedback for closed-loop speed-control applications.
- Provides programmable current limit, independently adjustable acceleration and deceleration times and multiple stop profiles.
- Includes two analog inputs, two analog outputs, six digital inputs and three digital outputs for machine interfacing.
- Supports parameterized motor protection and monitored thermal protection for the drive power structure.

Installation
- Match the three-phase 480 V supply, motor nameplate and normal- or heavy-duty load requirement to the drive rating.
- Install the IP20 / Type 1 unit with the ventilation and branch-circuit protection specified for the Frame 2 PowerFlex 700.
- Check encoder voltage, wiring, shielding and direction before enabling closed-loop operation.
- Identify any separately fitted HIM or communication option because neither is included in this catalog configuration.
- Save the parameter file and record I/O, encoder and braking connections before removing an existing drive.
Lifecycle
- Rockwell Automation discontinued this catalog number on November 30, 2023 and classifies the replacement path as Engineering Replacement.
- The standard encoder suffix is a critical selection detail and must be included in migration planning.
- Replacement engineering should compare the motor-feedback device, control mode, braking requirement, network option and enclosure conditions.
- Retain the original settings and installed-option inventory for commissioning of any repaired or replacement unit.
