Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2098-DSD-010-SE is a high-performance digital servo drive from the Ultra3000 family designed for precision motion control in industrial automation. This 1kW SERCOS interface drive operates on 100-240VAC single-phase power (47-63 Hz) and delivers continuous 5A output with peak intermittent current of 15A. It integrates seamlessly into Logix-based and third-party motion control architectures, supporting both standalone indexing and multi-axis integrated applications.
Key Features
- SERCOS Communication: Industry-standard fiber-optic interface for real-time servo synchronization and deterministic motion control
- Flexible Power Input: Universal 100-240VAC single-phase (47-63 Hz) accommodates global installations
- Integrated Indexing Capability: Supports standalone point-to-point motion with built-in logic for simple applications
- Multi-Axis Ready: Compatible with Logix controllers for coordinated multi-axis motion profiles
- Compact Design: Space-efficient footprint suitable for OEM and retrofit installations
- Absolute Encoder Support: Embedded multi-turn absolute encoder compatibility eliminates homing cycles on power loss
