Allen-Bradley 2198-D020-ERS3 Kinetix 5700 Dual-Axis Servo Drive

Configured for multi-axis motion control and servo motor actuation within automated machinery networks, the Allen-Bradley 2198-D020-ERS3 (2198 Dual-Axis Servo Drive) provides direct physical/electrical execution. Operating as part of the Kinetix 5700 drive system, this module houses two independent inverter axes within a compact 55 mm chassis, delivering up to 8.0 A rms continuous output current and 5.5 kW continuous output power per axis. System velocity and current loops run at high-speed update bandwidths to maintain dynamic position accuracy across integrated EtherNet/IP networks.

Hardware Specifications

Deterministic Ethernet Communication & Backplane Dynamics

The Allen-Bradley 2198-D020-ERS3 utilizes CIP Motion over deterministic EtherNet/IP networks to achieve precise clock synchronization across multi-axis motion architectures. Integrated high-speed system interconnects allow direct backplane bus communication velocity across shared DC bus configurations, reducing external wiring complexity and distributing regenerative energy efficiently between active drive modules. Onboard firmware flash compatibility ensures seamless controller synchronization and low-latency safety network performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the tightening torque specification for the power and motor terminal block connectors?

A: Terminal block wire retention screws require a tightening torque of 0.5 to 0.6 Nm (4.4 to 5.3 lb-in) to ensure secure low-resistance conductor clamping.

Q: What are the peak and continuous current capabilities per axis for this drive?

A: Each axis supports a continuous output current of 8.0 A rms (11.3 A 0-peak) and a peak output current capability of 20.0 A rms (28.2 A 0-peak).

Field Installation Guidelines

Mount the 55 mm module vertically onto the designated Kinetix 5700 zero-stacking backplane assembly using standard mounting hardware. Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm above and below the module chassis to allow unimpeded airflow through the internal cooling ducts. Connect motor power lines using shielded cables, securing the shield braid flat against the module grounding plate with heavy-duty grounding clamps to suppress high-frequency electromagnetic noise. Route all 24 VDC control power lines and feedback wiring in dedicated wire troughs separated from main motor phase conductors.
