Rockwell Automation Publication PFLEX-AP009A-EN-P - September 2012 5
Preface
Overview
The purpose of this publication is to assist in migrating from a 1395, 1397, or 
FlexPak 3000 DC drive to a PowerFlex® DC drive. Please refer to the respective 
User Manual, Technical Data and/or Installation Instructions for more detail.
This publication contains these chapters:
• Chapter 1: Drive Comparisons
Contains comparisons of the specifications, features, drive catalog 
numbers, dimensions, power and control terminals, and feedback options 
of the 1395, 1397, and FlexPak 3000 DC drives to the PowerFlex DC 
drive. This chapter also provides information on the user-installed options, 
contactors and recommended fuses for the PowerFlex DC drive.
• Chapter 2: Wiring Examples
Contains comparisons of the drive configuration, control wiring and 
parameters of the 1395, 1397, and FlexPak 3000 DC drives to the 
PowerFlex DC drive.
• Chapter 3: Network Communication
Identifies the 1395, 1397, and FlexPak 3000 drives network options that 
can be migrated to networks used by the PowerFlex DC drive. This 
chapter also provides overview information for the velocity reference/
feedback, I/O adaptors, 16 bit-based processors (PLC 5) and provides 
information for Quest (a Rockwell Automation Encompass™ partner), that 
offers a remote I/O to EtherNet/IP communication convertor migration 
solution.
Pre-migration
Best Practices
• Upload and save the drive parameters via DriveExplorer™ or 
DriveExecutive™. If you cannot connect to the drive online, manually 
record the drive parameter values. 
• Record the motor nameplate data, record and label all power, motor, and 
digital and analog I/O control wiring.
• Upload and save any network files and Programmable Logic Controller 
(PLC) programs.
• Update and/or markup any changes to hardware prints.
