The Allen-Bradley 20G14NC085AA0NNNNN is a PowerFlex 755 series AC variable frequency drive manufactured by Allen-Bradley, a brand of Rockwell Automation. This unit belongs to the PowerFlex 750 Series product family, which is designed for demanding industrial motor control applications requiring high performance and flexibility. The PowerFlex 755 is a frame 4 drive configured for 480V AC three-phase input with a continuous output current rating of 85A, suitable for controlling standard and permanent magnet AC motors.
The PowerFlex 755 drive features an embedded EtherNet/IP communication port as standard, enabling seamless integration with Logix-based control systems and plant-level networks without requiring an additional communication module. The drive supports multiple control modes including sensorless vector, closed-loop vector with encoder feedback, and permanent magnet motor control, providing flexibility across motor types. It incorporates a safe torque-off (STO) safety function as standard, meeting SIL 2 and PLd safety requirements without external safety relays. The drive also supports optional I/O, feedback, and communication option cards installed in its modular option bay architecture, and includes an onboard human interface module (HIM) port for local parameter configuration and diagnostics.
The PowerFlex 755 is widely deployed in industries such as oil and gas, mining, metals, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, and material handling. It is commonly used to control pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, extruders, and winding machinery where precise speed and torque regulation are required. The drive's robust design, broad communication capability, and integrated safety features make it suitable for both standalone machine applications and large distributed control architectures.

Common Fault Codes
- Fault Code 12
- HW OverCurrent – The drive output current has exceeded the hardware overcurrent trip threshold.
Check for a short circuit or ground fault on the output wiring. Verify motor insulation resistance. Inspect for a seized or overloaded mechanical load. Reduce acceleration rate or increase current limit settings. - Fault Code 13
- Ground Fault – A current path to earth ground has been detected on the drive output.
Disconnect the motor and output wiring and test insulation resistance to ground. Inspect cable shielding and motor windings for damage. Correct any wiring faults before restarting. - Fault Code 29
- Analog Input Loss – An analog input signal has fallen below the configured loss threshold (typically below 2 mA on a 4-20 mA signal).
Check the analog signal source and wiring continuity. Verify the transmitter or controller providing the reference signal is powered and functioning. Inspect terminal connections for loose or corroded contacts. - Fault Code 33
- Auto Restart Tries – The drive has exceeded the maximum number of automatic restart attempts following a fault.
Identify and resolve the underlying fault that triggered repeated restarts. Review the fault queue log for the root cause fault code. Adjust auto-restart parameters if the application requires more attempts. - Fault Code 63
- SW OverCurrent – The drive output current has exceeded the software-configured overcurrent trip level.
Check for mechanical overload on the driven equipment. Verify motor nameplate data matches drive parameter settings. Increase the overcurrent trip level if appropriate, or reduce the load. - Fault Code 70
- Power Unit – A fault has been detected in the drive power section, which may include a failed IGBT or gate driver.
Cycle power and attempt to clear the fault. If the fault persists, inspect the power module for signs of damage or overheating. The power module or gate driver board may require replacement. - Fault Code 71
- Motor Overload – The electronic motor overload protection has tripped due to sustained overcurrent condition.
Allow the motor to cool before resetting. Verify the motor FLA setting in the drive parameters matches the motor nameplate. Check for mechanical overload, blocked ventilation, or incorrect motor selection. - Fault Code 122
- Safe Torque Off (STO) – The safe torque-off input circuit has been activated or an STO wiring fault has been detected.
Verify that the STO input terminals are correctly wired and that the safety circuit is providing the required 24V DC signal. Check for open circuits or damaged wiring in the STO loop. Do not bypass the safety function.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the continuous output current rating of the 20G14NC085AA0NNNNN?

Troubleshooting
Drive displays a Ground Fault (Fault Code 13) immediately on start command
Disconnect the motor cables at the drive output terminals and perform an insulation resistance test (megger test) on each output phase to ground. Also inspect the output cable for physical damage or incorrect shielding termination.
Replace damaged motor cables or repair insulation faults. If the motor itself has failed insulation, the motor must be rewound or replaced. Ensure cable shields are terminated at one end only to avoid circulating currents.
Drive powers up but HIM display shows no communication with the control board
Check the HIM connector and seating on the drive front. Inspect the ribbon cable or HIM port for bent pins or contamination. Attempt to connect via RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000 over EtherNet/IP to determine if the main control board is responsive.
Reseat the HIM module firmly. If the HIM itself is faulty, replace it with a compatible PowerFlex 750 Series HIM. If the control board is unresponsive over EtherNet/IP as well, the main control board may require replacement.
Drive trips on Motor Overload (Fault Code 71) under normal load conditions
Verify the motor full load amps (FLA) parameter in the drive is set correctly to match the motor nameplate rating. Check actual output current using the drive's diagnostic display and compare against the motor nameplate FLA.
Correct the motor FLA parameter setting. If the current is genuinely elevated, inspect the mechanical load for increased friction, misalignment, or overloading. Ensure motor cooling is adequate and ambient temperature is within specification.
EtherNet/IP communication loss between drive and PLC controller
Check the Ethernet cable connections at the drive and network switch. Verify the drive IP address configuration matches the expected address in the PLC I/O tree. Use the drive HIM or web browser interface to confirm network status and check for IP conflicts.
Replace faulty Ethernet cables or patch cords. Correct any IP address conflicts or misconfiguration. If the embedded EtherNet/IP port is suspected faulty, the main control board may need replacement as the port is integrated.
Drive output frequency oscillates and motor speed is unstable in closed-loop vector mode
Check encoder wiring for noise, loose connections, or incorrect shielding. Verify encoder PPR (pulses per revolution) parameter matches the physical encoder. Review speed regulator (PI) gain parameters for instability.
Re-terminate encoder cable shielding and ensure the cable is routed away from power cables. Correct the encoder PPR parameter if mismatched. Reduce the speed regulator proportional gain incrementally until oscillation stops, then re-tune for optimal response.
