Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2198-H040-ERS2 Kinetix 5500 servo drive is a high-performance industrial servo amplifier engineered for demanding motion control applications. Designed for dynamic motion control applications using 240 V or 480 V three-phase input power, it delivers continuous output currents up to 18.4 A (rms) with peak output capabilities of 32.5 A, supporting motor power ratings from 4.0 kW to 8.4 kW depending on the supply voltage. This motion system is designed to connect and operate with the new family of CompactLogix controllers using Studio 5000 software supporting integrated motion on EtherNet/IP, allowing motion applications to run on a single control platform using a single network.
Key Features
- Wide 3-phase input voltage range of 190–528 VAC with peak current output of 32.5 A, optimized for high-torque applications and fast dynamic response.
- The -ERS2 models utilize hardwired Safe Torque Off connections, providing flexibility depending on whether your safety architecture is network-based or relay-based.
- Supports Hiperface DSL motors, allowing power and feedback to run through a single cable to reduce wiring time, cable tray space, and potential points of failure.
- Includes an integrated switch that supports Linear, Star, and Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies for high network resiliency and simplified machine control.
- Frame Size 2, weighing 5.0 lbs (2.3 kg).
- 24 VDC control input for auxiliary devices and control logic.
