ALLEN-BRADLEY 80190-480-01-R | POWERFLEX 7000 DRIVE CONTROL BOARD

The Allen-Bradley 80190-480-01-R is a drive control PCB associated with the PowerFlex 7000 medium-voltage drive platform. Despite the supplied listing calling it a “Gear Assembly Module,” available part-number references identify 80190-480-01-R as a PowerFlex 7000 Drive Control Board / PCB.

The board serves as a control and interface element within the drive architecture rather than being a mechanical gear assembly. It is used in large motor-drive applications where precise control of high-power motors is required.

📊 Product Datasheet

*Published third-party references are inconsistent on the exact electrical ratings for this legacy part. One source lists 480 VAC, 15 A and 7.2 kW, while another lists 480 VAC, 10 A and 4.8 kW. These values should therefore not be treated as universal ratings for every installation. Match the board against the actual PowerFlex 7000 drive configuration and nameplate before replacement.

📖 Product Usage Instructions

The 80190-480-01-R should not be treated as an independent PLC or motor controller. It operates as part of the PowerFlex 7000 drive architecture.

A simplified drive-control path is:

Control Command → Drive Control Board → Power Conversion Section → Motor

The board communicates with other drive hardware to regulate the motor according to the configured drive parameters. In an installed PowerFlex 7000 system, the exact control architecture depends on the drive rating, hardware revision, firmware, and application configuration.

Some marketplace references also associate this part with 80190-478-51, so both the board number and the actual installed drive configuration should be checked before ordering a replacement.

🔍 Replacement Inspection Checklist
