Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 1336F-BRF20-AE-EN-L5E be used on a 220V single-phase supply?
A: No. This unit requires 380–480V three-phase input. For single-phase or 220V applications, the 1336S (1336 PLUS) or 22B series PowerFlex drives are more appropriate.
Q: Is the DeviceNet adapter (L5E) removable or field-replaceable?
A: Yes. The L5E is a plug-in communication adapter. It can be replaced in the field without returning the drive to the factory, provided the replacement adapter is correctly configured with the same node address and data rate.
Q: What is the difference between the Standard and Enhanced (EN) control option?
A: The Enhanced control board adds closed-loop PID, additional preset speeds (up to 7), encoder feedback input, and expanded fault diagnostics compared to the Standard control option.
Q: Can this drive control a permanent magnet (PM) motor?
A: The 1336 PLUS II is optimized for standard induction motors. For PM motor control, Rockwell Automation recommends the PowerFlex 755 or 527 series with the appropriate motor control mode.
Q: What programming software is compatible?
A: DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive, and the 1336 PLUS II Add-On Profile for Studio 5000 Logix Designer are all compatible. Parameter upload/download via the HIM is also supported.
Q: Is a CE Declaration of Conformity available?
A: Yes. Rockwell Automation’s CE DoC for the 1336 PLUS II series is available upon request. Contact support@konmask.com with your specific catalog number.
