AC Electronic Drives Learning System

Amatrol’s AC Electronic Drive Learning System – AB PowerFlex 755 (970-DRV1F) provides comprehensive, hands-on VFD training using the industrial Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 drive. The system combines a PowerFlex 755 VFD with V/Hz, Sensorless Vector, and Flux Vector control, a three-phase motor, incremental encoder, Human Interface Module (HIM), and Amatrol’s FaultPro computer-based fault insertion system for realistic troubleshooting practice. Learners build skills in VFD architecture, safety, wiring, HIM control, discrete and analog I/O, drive communications, programming, and troubleshooting while learning to wire and configure three-phase motors and dual-channel incremental encoders, operate the PowerFlex 755 using three-wire control, and configure and test the drive in Connected Components Workbench. The system prepares learners to work with the precise motor control used in industrial applications including CNC machine tools, conveyors, robots, mixers, and presses.

Learning Outcomes

Learners build practical skills using real industrial equipment, including the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 VFD, three-phase motor, incremental encoder, and HIM programming module. Through hands-on exercises and advanced fault insertion, learners will:

Configure and operate VFD systems using V/Hz, Sensorless Vector, and Flux Vector control for general-purpose, vector, and positioning applications.
Troubleshoot realistic drive and motor faults using Amatrol’s FaultPro system, including power loss, motor overload, encoder loss, overcurrent, and excessive load conditions.
Develop advanced communication and programming skills using EtherNet/IP and Rockwell Automation’s Connected Components Workbench.
Work with industrial VFD components and connections, including high-voltage test points, motor and encoder connections, operator controls, USB, and Ethernet communications.

Training is delivered on a sturdy, portable system designed to replicate the equipment, controls, and troubleshooting scenarios learners will encounter in industrial environments.

Amatrol eLearning

Amatrol eLearning is easy-to-use for both students and instructors. Its web-based interface is simple to navigate and available on any WebGL-compatible Internet browser. Instructors love Amatrol eLearning for its simple, yet sophisticated Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS allows instructors to create custom courses, monitor student participation, track course progress, assess knowledge levels prior to a course, and test knowledge levels after completion. Learners appreciate the fact that they can start and stop as needed, moving through each Amatrol course at their own pace. If a self-review reveals that they didn’t understand a particular topic as well as they thought they did, they can revisit it before moving on.
