Compatibility
- Use with PowerFlex component-class drives and DSI devices that explicitly list the 22-HIM-A3.
- Official application documentation includes PowerFlex 4, 4M, 40, 40P, 400 and supported PowerFlex 520-Series configuration contexts.
- Some DSI multi-drive arrangements do not allow an additional external HIM because the communication port is already used.
- Series A and Series C firmware packages are not interchangeable; verify the HIM series before a firmware update.
- The optional 22-HIM-B1 bezel is intended for remote mounting of the handheld interface.
Replacement
- Rockwell Automation lists 22-HIM-A3 with an Active lifecycle status.
- Before replacing or updating a HIM, record the hardware series and installed firmware revision.
- Confirm the host drive, DSI port availability and cable condition rather than diagnosing the operator interface in isolation.
- Preserve any required CopyCat parameter files by following the supported drive and HIM transfer procedure.
FAQ
What type of display and keypad does 22-HIM-A3 provide?
It uses an LCD display with a full numeric keypad and digital speed-control functions.
Is a connection cable included?
Yes. Rockwell Automation lists a 1.0 m cable with the handheld HIM.
What is the purpose of CopyCat functionality?
It supports compatible drive-parameter transfer workflows using the HIM.
Can Series A firmware be loaded into a Series C unit?
No. The official release information states that Series A and Series C firmware packages are not compatible.
Can every DSI multi-drive system accept an external HIM?
No. Some configurations use the DSI port for multi-drive communication and do not permit an additional peripheral.
