Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2094-BM01 A is a single-slot axis module within Rockwell Automation’s Kinetix 6000 servo drive family. This 2094-BM01 A provides compact, efficient servo control with a 9A inverter rating and 3.9 kW continuous output. Designed for integration into multi-axis motion systems, it converts DC power to adjustable-frequency AC power for precise servo motor control in packaging machines, light industrial automation, and space-constrained panel installations.
Key Features
- Peak inverter current rating: 9.2A (Series A), with 9A continuous nominal
- Continuous output power: 3.9 kW at 360/480V, 3-phase
- Safe Torque-Off (STO) feature for integrated safety workflows
- Dual communication slots: Ethernet and SERCOS for seamless network integration
- IP20-rated housing with internal fan cooling and thermal monitoring
- 98% efficiency with 200,000A (rms) symmetrical short-circuit rating

Typical Applications
The 2094-BM01 A excels in light-to-medium duty servo applications where compact sizing and integrated safety are priorities. Common deployments include:
- Multi-axis packaging and labeling machinery
- Small-format material handling systems
- Precision assembly automation with tight space constraints
- OEM equipment requiring simplified wiring and programming
- Applications with single or two-axis servo motor control needs
This module does not support Integrated Safety (SIL/PLe rated), so applications requiring functional safety must use external safety relays and hardwired STO logic.
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Kinetix 6000 multi-axis servo drive base chassis
- Kinetix 6200 drive systems (Series A compatible)
- EtherNet/IP network via onboard Ethernet slot
- SERCOS interface for real-time motion control
- CompactLogix, ControlLogix, and GuardLogix PLCs via Logix platform

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The 2094-BM01 A is a direct replacement for earlier Series A installations. Series B and C modules (2094-BM01-S, 2094-BM01-M) offer higher current ratings (15.3A peak, 21.6A peak output) but require chassis compatibility verification. Verify your existing system revision before ordering replacement units.
Works With
- Studio 5000 Logix Designer for program development and configuration
- EtherNet/IP protocol for real-time motion synchronization
- SERCOS communication interface for deterministic servo feedback
- Logix motion instruction sets (MAH, MAM, MAFR, etc.)
- CompactLogix and ControlLogix firmware versions compatible with Kinetix 6000 series
- Third-party PROFINET gateways (via optional modules)
