When Your Customer Requests a PowerFlex 700, Here’s What to Quote Instead
Since Rockwell Automation officially discontinued the PowerFlex 700 series on November 30, 2023, you are likely seeing more and more tenders that still reference these legacy model numbers. But you don't need to turn down these bids.
The official migration path is the PowerFlex 750-Series. Below is a quick reference table to help you match common 20B catalog numbers to their 750-Series equivalents.
| PowerFlex 700 Model (20B) | Normal Duty Power | Recommended 750-Series Replacement | Frame Change |
| 20B-D2P1-A3 | 0.75 kW (1 HP) | 20F-11-...(Frame 2) | Same |
| 20B-D6P8-A3 | 2.2 kW (3 HP) | 20F-11-...(Frame 2) | Same |
| 20B-D015-A3 | 2.2 kW (3 HP) | 20F-22-...(Frame 3) | Frame 1→3 |
| 20B-D022-A3 | 11 kW (15 HP) | 20F-22-...(Frame 3) | Same |
| 20B-D030-A3 | 15 kW (20 HP) | 20F-27-...(Frame 4) | Same |
| 20B-D042-A3 | 22 kW (30 HP) | 20F-32-...(Frame 4) | Frame 3→4 |
| 20B-D072-A3 | 37 kW (50 HP) | 20F-42-...(Frame 5) | Frame 3→5 |
| 20B-D105-A3 | 55 kW (75 HP) | 20F-52-...(Frame 5) | Frame 4→5 |
Quick Tip: Always check the frame size when quoting. As the table shows, some migrations require a larger physical footprint (e.g., Frame 3→Frame 5). This may affect panel space — and your customer will appreciate you flagging this early.
Two choices you need to make when quoting a 750-Series:
| Your Customer's Application | Recommended Model |
| Standard pumps, fans, conveyors | PowerFlex 753 — cost-effective |
| High-performance or networked systems | PowerFlex 755 — built-in EtherNet/IP, more I/O slots |
