-
🌊 Water and Wastewater – Pumps and fan systems with remote monitoring
-
🧪 Chemical and Pharma – Process control with high accuracy
-
🚗 Automotive – Machining, assembly, and material handling lines
-
🥫 Food & Beverage – Packaging, bottling, and distribution systems
Its modular design and scalability allow it to fit across multiple machine sizes and control needs.
PowerFlex 753 vs PowerFlex 755
Feature | PowerFlex 753 | PowerFlex 755 |
---|---|---|
Application Use | General-purpose | High-performance, demanding use |
Power Range | Up to 250 kW | Up to 1,500 kW+ |
Safety | STO (standard), optional SSM | Full advanced safety suite |
Motor Control | Standard and vector | Advanced torque and motion |
Communication Options | Field-swappable modules | More onboard ports and options |
The PowerFlex 753 is best for general industrial motor control, while the PowerFlex 755 is recommended for high-end and motion-intensive environments.
Seamless Integration with Rockwell Systems
The PowerFlex 753 works natively with:
-
Studio 5000 Logix Designer
