Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2198-H040-ERS2 is a compact, high-performance Kinetix 5500 servo drive engineered for integrated motion control on EtherNet/IP networks. This Frame Size 2 drive combines precision torque, velocity, and position control with hardwired Safe Torque Off (STO) safety functionality, making it ideal for demanding industrial automation applications where reliability and performance matter.
Key Features
- Integrated Safety Over EtherNet/IP: Hardwired Safe Torque Off connections provide flexible relay-based or network-based safety architecture
- Single-Cable Motor Technology: Hiperface DSL support reduces wiring complexity and cable tray space by combining power and feedback in one connector
- Dual EtherNet/IP Ports: Integrated switch supports Linear, Star, and Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies for network resiliency
- Wide Input Voltage Range: 190–528V AC 3-phase operation provides flexibility across different industrial power infrastructures
- Compact Footprint: Frame Size 2 design minimizes panel space while delivering high dynamic performance
- Studio 5000 Integration: Native compatibility with CompactLogix controllers and Rockwell integrated motion programming
