Drive migration
PowerFlex 70 and PowerFlex 700 to PowerFlex 755 migration
Star Automations plans the move from PowerFlex 70 and PowerFlex 700 drives to PowerFlex 755: parameter mapping, communications adapters, cabinet fit, commissioning and testing. We also repair and supply PowerFlex drives while you plan.
Typical migration paths
The right target depends on your I/O count, networks, performance needs and budget. We confirm the target during the audit — the table shows the usual direction, not a fixed rule.
| Legacy | Typical target | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| PowerFlex 70 | PowerFlex 755 (or a smaller current PowerFlex) | Match rating and control needs |
| PowerFlex 700 | PowerFlex 755 | Parameters and option modules |
What needs care in this migration
Parameters
We document the existing settings and configure the new drive from motor data and application needs.
Communications
Adapters and network settings are matched to the controller.
Fit
Dimensions and wiring differ; we check the cabinet first.
Our migration process
- Migration readiness audit: inventory of hardware, firmware, networks, programs and spares
- Back up and document the running system before anything is touched
- Design the target architecture and I/O mapping; agree scope and the cutover approach
- Convert and rebuild the program and HMI, with every conversion warning reviewed by hand
- Test in stages: simulation, panel factory test where panels are built, then site testing
- Cutover with a rollback plan, then handover documentation
What we need from you: Program backups (or access to the running processor); Electrical drawings and the I/O list, if available; Network layout and device list; Photos of nameplates, panels and wiring; Your shutdown windows and any safety requirements.
