Allen-Bradley 25C-D043N114 PowerFlex 527 VFD
Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 25C-D043N114 belongs to the PowerFlex 527 series. Manufacturers use this drive to control motor speed and torque. It works seamlessly with Allen-Bradley PLC systems. This model provides 43 amperes of output current. Its voltage class covers 380-480V AC, 3-phase. The drive includes a built-in EMC filter. This reduces electromagnetic interference in industrial environments. Additionally, the 25C-D043N114 supports EtherNet/IP communication with dual ports. You also get integrated safety features for machine protection.
Key Technical Specifications of 25C-D043N114
The 25C-D043N114 operates at an input voltage of 380-480V AC, 3-phase. Its normal duty rating is 30 Horsepower (22 kW). The heavy-duty rating equals 25 Horsepower (18.5 kW). Output current is rated at 43 Amps continuous. The enclosure type is IP20 NEMA / Open Type. Frame size is E.
For communication, this drive has a dual port EtherNet/IP interface. This supports daisy-chain or ring topologies. Integrated safety features include Safe Torque-Off (STO). The built-in EMC filter is option One (included as standard).
Control and Integration Features
This VFD offers deep integration with Logix controllers. You can configure it directly from Studio 5000. Drive parameters appear as tags in the controller memory. No separate drive software is needed. Furthermore, the dual EtherNet/IP ports support device level ring (DLR) topology. This improves network reliability and uptime.
The 25C-D043N114 also provides integrated safety. The Safe Torque-Off function prevents unexpected motor starts. It meets SIL 3 and PLe safety ratings. You do not need external safety relays. Additionally, this drive supports coordinated motion control. It works with Kinetix 5500 drives on the same network.
Mechanical and Environmental Ratings
The 25C-D043N114 comes in a Frame E size. Its IP20 enclosure protects against small dust particles. However, it is not waterproof. You must install it inside a control panel. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C. Derating is required above 50°C up to 60°C. Storage temperature ranges from -40°C to 70°C. Relative humidity should stay below 95% non-condensing. Maximum altitude is 1000 meters without derating.
Installation Guidelines
Mount the 25C-D043N114 vertically on a flat panel surface. Ensure proper clearance around the drive. Maintain 100mm above and below for airflow. Keep 50mm on left and right sides. Use copper wires rated for 75°C minimum. Tighten power terminals to 2.2 Nm for main circuits. Ground the drive properly using the PE terminal. Install a branch circuit protection device upstream. Fast-acting fuses or circuit breakers are recommended.
For EtherNet/IP connections, use shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cables. Connect both Ethernet ports if using DLR topology. Set the IP address using rotary switches or software. You can also assign addresses through the controller.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between normal duty and heavy duty for the 25C-D043N114?
Normal duty (30HP) applies to variable torque loads like fans and pumps. Heavy duty (25HP) applies to constant torque loads like conveyors and presses. Choose based on your actual application needs.
2. Does the 25C-D043N114 require an external EMC filter?
No. This model includes a built-in EMC filter as standard. You can enable or disable it using a removable jumper. This flexibility supports both grounded and ungrounded systems.
3. Can I use this drive with a single-phase power supply?
No. The 25C-D043N114 requires a 3-phase input of 380-480VAC. Single-phase operation is not supported and may cause drive faults.
4. How do I set up the EtherNet/IP communication on the 25C-D043N114?
You can set the IP address using three methods: rotary switches on the drive, Studio 5000 software, or DHCP server. The dual ports support both linear and ring topologies.
5. What safety function does the 25C-D043N114 provide?
The drive includes Safe Torque-Off (STO) as an integrated safety feature. It prevents the motor from generating torque. This meets SIL 3 and PLe certification requirements. You do not need external safety relays.
