Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2198-H025-ERS is a Kinetix 5500 servo drive engineered for high-performance industrial motion control. This servo drive is a Kinetix 5500 Servo Drive, offering continuous output current (rms) of 8.0 A, peak output current of 11.3 A and output power of 4.0kW – 8.3 kW depending on the input voltage supply. The unit supports both standalone and multi-axis configurations, making it ideal for packaging, converting, printing machinery, and automated assembly applications requiring responsive servo control.
Key Features
- Dual Input Voltage Support: Input supply voltage range of 195-264V rms, 3-phase with 240V nominal voltage and 324-528V rms, 3-phase with 480VAC nominal voltage
- Integrated Safety Functionality: Features the hardwired safe torque-off or STO functionality, allowing the inverter power transistors to be safely turned off as a response to a digital input
- Network Integration: Directly compatible with the CompactLogix, ControlLogix and GuardLogix controller for implementing Integrated Motion over Ethernet/IP
- Flexible Configuration: Supports cascading of parallel input terminals and operates in both grounded and ungrounded power setups
- Complete Connectivity: Ships with installation instructions, a connector kit for motor feedback, a wiring plug connector for shunt power/RC connections and connectors for safe torque-off (STO), 24 Volts of control input power (CP), digital inputs (IOD), mains input power (IPD), motor brake (BC), and motor power
