Description
The listed 25B-D030N114, 25B-D017N104, 25B-D010N104, 25B-D024N114 are Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 525 Series AC Drives — Rockwell’s mid-range VFD platform replacing the older PowerFlex 4M/40/70 in cost-sensitive yet feature-rich applications. The “25B” prefix = PowerFlex 525 (vs 25A = PowerFlex 523 — the stripped-down sibling without DeviceLogix, without embedded HMI keypad). The “D” after 25B = standard DeviceLogix-enabled version (vs “S” = with Safe Torque Off / STO safety — 25B-DSxxN104 would be STO version; your list is all “D” = standard non-STO). The 3-digit number = rated current in amps: 010=10A, 017=17A, 024=24A, 030=30A. “N” = 480V 3-phase (vs “B”=240V, “C”=600V). “1” = Frame size / feature set (1 = standard HMI keypad + DSI RS-485 port). “04” = no additional options (standard).
- 25B-D030N114 (main) → 30A rated → 15 kW / 20 Hp (Heavy Duty / Constant Torque HD); 18.5 kW / 25 Hp (Normal Duty / Variable Torque ND — pump/fan) @ 480V 3-ph. This is the largest in your list.
- 25B-D024N114 → 24A → 11 kW / 15 Hp (HD); 15 kW / 20 Hp (ND)
- 25B-D017N104 → 17A → 7.5 kW / 10 Hp (HD); 11 kW / 15 Hp (ND)
- 25B-D010N104 → 10A → 4 kW / 5 Hp (HD); 5.5 kW / 7.5 Hp (ND)
PowerFlex 525 highlights: embedded DeviceLogix (512 rungs / 32 timers / 32 counters) — lets the drive run simple sequencing / pump alternation / PID-without a separate PLC for small machines; embedded HMI keypad (2-line LCD + navigational keys — can monitor/adjust freq, amps, fault history, PID SP, DeviceLogix vars); DSI (Data Serial Interface) port (RS-485 based — connects to Logix via 20-COMM-x or daisy-chain on DSI network; also supports Modbus RTU if using 20-COMM-M or via Logix MSG); USB programming port (mini-B — connect laptop directly for DriveExecutive / Connected Components Workbench CCW — no 20-COMM needed for local programming); Safe Torque Off (STO) available on “S” suffix models (your “D” models = no STO — if safety needed, order 25B-D030S114); PID loop built-in (with sleep/wake, anti-seize for pumps); global voltage (same drive covers 100–120V / 200–240V / 480V / 600V by p/n suffix — your list is 480V N-suffix).
Typical: Pump/fan VFD, conveyor, mixer, small machine tool spindle, compressor — where you want DeviceLogix to do local logic (e.g., 2-pump alternation) without adding a MicroLogix.

Applications
- Pump / Fan / Blower (HVAC / Water): ND rating 18.5kW (25Hp) on D030 — PID with sleep/wake, anti-seize, DeviceLogix 2-pump alternation (lead-lag) without extra PLC.
- Conveyor / Material Handling: HD 15kW (20Hp) on D030 — sensorless vector for low-speed torque, DSI daisy-chain 10+ conveyors on one 20-COMM-E → Logix.
- Compressor / Mixer (Const Torque): HD rating + FORCE flux vector for low-speed mix — DeviceLogix handles start/stop interlocks.
- Small Machine Skid (OEM): DeviceLogix + HMI keypad = standalone logic (float switch → pump, pressure switch → unloader) — no separate MicroLogix, save cost.
- Retrofit PF40/PF70: PF525 is the natural replacement — same footprint roughly, DeviceLogix adds features PF40 lacked.
