20D-DL2-CKE1 Overview
This drive-control upgrade kit belongs to the variable-frequency-drive and industrial-automation hierarchy. A VFD controls AC motor speed and torque through power-electronic switching, while an embedded programmable controller adds sequencing, diagnostics, process control, and communications functions. The 20D-DL2-CKE1 is therefore more than a basic drive module: it combines drive control, expanded cassette hardware, and DriveLogix 5730 logic within the PowerFlex 700S platform.
Verified sources identify advanced programming, built-in diagnostics, and high-performance drive control as principal platform benefits. The included expanded cassette and DriveLogix processor support retrofit-compatible configurations. Marketing information also states that the kit includes an M5 hex nut wrench, Phillips screwdriver, and standard screwdriver, although installation procedures and torque requirements must be confirmed in the applicable Rockwell literature.
The part is associated with general-purpose AC motor control and demanding industrial automation applications. Retrofit use requires matching the original PowerFlex 700S configuration, frame, backplane, connector arrangement, and control architecture. It should not be assumed interchangeable with the standard 20D-P2-CKE1 cassette or the 20D-DL1-CKE1 control kit because those products do not provide the same DriveLogix configuration.
Rockwell lists 20D-DL2-CKE2 as a direct replacement, but that replacement was subsequently discontinued on April 3, 2025, with no replacement applicable according to the provided product-page result. Maintenance decisions should therefore evaluate current controller and drive migration options rather than assuming another active drop-in kit remains available.
This page distinguishes manufacturer-verified identity and lifecycle facts from unprovided electrical ratings, dimensions, connector pinouts, certifications, and installation parameters. Those missing details are deliberately not inferred. Before procurement or installation, request a quotation for condition and traceability, verify the host drive catalog string, and consult Rockwell selection guidance and user documentation.

Typical Applications
20D-DL2-CKE1 is suitable for 6 applications: PowerFlex 700S Retrofit, General-Purpose AC Motor Control, Conveyor and Material Handling, Pump and Fan Control, Production Machinery Control, Legacy Drive Maintenance.
PowerFlex 700S Retrofit
The 20D-DL2-CKE1 fits the documented role of a Phase II drive-control upgrade kit for compatible PowerFlex 700S hardware originally configured for embedded DriveLogix. Its expanded cassette and DriveLogix 5730 controller preserve the drive-family control architecture while adding programmable automation and diagnostics to an existing machine. Before installation, technicians must match the original catalog string, frame, backplane, and connector arrangement, then back up drive parameters. This is a legacy maintenance choice because the product was discontinued on June 30, 2021 and must not be selected for a new active-production design.
Recommended
General-Purpose AC Motor Control
Rockwell and distributor results associate the PowerFlex 700S platform with general-purpose industrial AC motor control. The 20D-DL2-CKE1 combines the drive-control cassette with DriveLogix 5730, allowing motor commands and machine-control logic to reside in one supported architecture. This integration can simplify coordination between drive status, sequencing, and automation logic. The supplied data does not state motor power, voltage, or current ratings, so equipment selection must remain tied to the original PowerFlex 700S model documentation rather than assumptions based on the control-kit number.
Recommended
Conveyor and Material Handling
A DriveLogix-enabled PowerFlex 700S retrofit is suitable for legacy conveyors where coordinated start, stop, speed reference, and fault handling are required. The DriveLogix 5730 controller provides a programmable layer alongside drive control, while built-in diagnostics support troubleshooting of demanding industrial equipment. Integration must preserve the machine's original I/O, safety functions, and motor-cable arrangement. The provided data contains no conveyor-specific limits or control I/O map, so application testing and current Rockwell engineering review are essential before energization.
Recommended
Pump and Fan Control
The integrated DriveLogix control architecture can support programmable sequencing and diagnostics for legacy pump or fan systems installed on compatible PowerFlex 700S drives. Embedding machine logic with the drive controller may improve coordination with interlocks and process signals compared with a basic standalone-drive configuration. It does not replace a safety relay or functional-safety assessment. Exact voltage, current, overload, motor horsepower, and environmental requirements are unavailable in the supplied sources and must be taken from the original drive documentation and nameplate data.
Recommended
Production Machinery Control
The 20D-DL2-CKE1 supports the advanced programming and embedded control expected in production machinery where motor commands must exchange status and logic with the drive platform. The DriveLogix 5730-based cassette can help retain a unified control strategy during a targeted retrofit of compatible PowerFlex 700S equipment. Because the part is obsolete, engineers should capture the existing program, parameter files, and network configuration before removal. Migration may be preferable when spare-part support and long-term lifecycle risk outweigh exact legacy preservation.
Recommended
Legacy Drive Maintenance
The most defensible use of the 20D-DL2-CKE1 is maintenance of an existing machine that requires its exact PowerFlex 700S DriveLogix configuration and cannot yet be migrated. Its manufacturer-listed direct replacement, 20D-DL2-CKE2, allows a supportable replacement decision when the drive is verified compatible. Both catalog numbers have stated discontinuation dates, so procurement should include traceability and condition inspection. A long outage risk exists if neither legacy kit is available in suitable condition; plan controller migration or complete-drive replacement as a contingency.

Key Differentiators
- Original DriveLogix-equipped catalog identity (vs 20D-P2-CKE1)
- Embedded programmable controller versus non-DriveLogix control (vs 20D-DL1-CKE1)
- Manufacturer-designated migration path (vs 20D-DL2-CKE2)
Design Notes
Do not substitute the 20D-DL2-CKE1 for the standard 20D-P2-CKE1 or 20D-DL1-CKE1 based only on similar catalog formatting. The supplied descriptions state that 20D-DL2-CKE1 includes the expanded cassette and DriveLogix 5730, while the other catalog items lack at least part of that functionality. Record the drive nameplate, catalog string, frame, firmware, options, and existing parameter files before ordering or removal.
Follow the applicable Rockwell hazardous-energy procedure before servicing the drive: isolate the supply, wait for the documented discharge interval, verify zero energy with approved test equipment, and control stored mechanical energy. The supplied sources do not provide control-voltage, backplane-pin, connector, or current specifications, so technicians must obtain those values from official documentation rather than infer them from the catalog number.
Preserve the original connector positions, cable routing, grounding, shielding, and mechanical orientation documented for the host PowerFlex 700S configuration. A retrofit listing can establish direct-replacement intent but is not a substitute for an installation procedure. After fitting the cassette, inspect connectors and fasteners against the model-specific documentation, restore protective covers, and verify that control wiring remains clear of power conductors and moving equipment.
Because both 20D-DL2-CKE1 and its direct replacement 20D-DL2-CKE2 are discontinued, avoid planning maintenance around unverified third-party inventory. Request serial number, seller identity, refurbishment disclosure, functional-test statement, photographs, warranty, and return rights. For critical machinery, maintain an active migration plan because Rockwell lists no applicable replacement for 20D-DL2-CKE2.
Compliance Information
The supplied product and technical-document snippets do not state RoHS, REACH, lead-free, halogen-free, or conflict-mineral status. AEC-Q100 is not applicable to this industrial drive-control assembly.
