Allen-Bradley 20BD248A3ANNAEC0 PowerFlex 700 AC Drive
A Frame 6 PowerFlex 700 drive rated for 200 hp normal duty and 150 hp heavy duty, with LCD keypad, embedded EtherNet/IP and IP20 construction.
Product Overview
20BD248A3ANNAEC0 is a high-power PowerFlex 700 configuration with an integrated operator interface and network communication. The full catalog code defines a specific combination of enclosure, control, filtering, braking and feedback selections for a 480 V system.
Its control package uses vector control with 24 V I/O and is supplied without a feedback option, while EtherNet/IP is installed as the internal communication interface.
Performance
- The drive provides 110 percent current for up to one minute and 150 percent for up to three seconds in the documented normal-duty overload profile.
- Sine-coded PWM operation supports programmable carrier frequencies and selectable V/Hz, sensorless-vector and vector-control modes.
- Two independent acceleration and deceleration times and multiple stop modes support coordinated machine sequencing.
- The control system includes programmable current limiting, monitored heat-sink temperature and Class 10 motor-overload protection.
- The integrated LCD full-numeric keypad provides local parameter access without adding a separate HIM option.

System Integration
- Use the embedded EtherNet/IP interface as the documented internal communication selection and capture the existing network address and controller data before replacement.
- The six digital inputs, three digital outputs, two analog inputs and two analog outputs can be mapped to the machine control strategy.
- Because this configuration has no feedback option, any application that requires encoder feedback needs a separately verified hardware arrangement rather than assuming it is included.
- Rockwell Automation discontinued the catalog number on June 1, 2023 and identifies a Functional Replacement path, so migration must be evaluated at system level.
Applications
- High-power pumps, fans and conveyors whose motor and load profile match the published normal-duty rating.
- Heavy-duty machinery where the lower horsepower rating is selected for increased overload demand.
- EtherNet/IP-connected drive systems that use the installed LCD keypad for local commissioning and diagnostics.
- Retrofit projects where the original IP20 cabinet, motor data and control wiring can be surveyed before engineering a replacement.
- Maintenance planning for installed PowerFlex 700 assets requiring exact suffix and network-option identification.
FAQ
Why is the complete catalog number required for this drive?
The suffix identifies the operator interface, communication, braking, filtering, control and feedback configuration that must be considered together.
Is encoder feedback included in 20BD248A3ANNAEC0?
No. This catalog configuration is supplied without a feedback option.
What network interface is built into the unit?
EtherNet/IP is the documented internal communication module for this exact catalog number.
Does the drive contain dynamic-braking hardware?
It has neither a brake IGBT nor an internal brake resistor, so braking requirements need separate engineering review.
What should be collected before a lifecycle migration?
Record motor data, duty selection, parameter file, I/O map, network settings, cabinet conditions and connected accessories.
How is Rockwell Automation handling the replacement path?
The catalog number is discontinued and is assigned to the Functional Replacement category rather than a direct drop-in replacement.
