Allen Bradley Kinetix 5700 Dual Axis Servo Drive - 2198-D020-ERS3
The Allen-Bradley 2198-D020-ERS3 is a dual-axis servo drive from Rockwell Automation's Kinetix 5700 series, engineered for high-axis-count, high-power motion control applications. This drive integrates seamlessly with EtherNet/IP-based systems and is optimized for large custom OEM machinery in material handling, printing, and packaging industries. As a core component of the Kinetix 5700 portfolio, it enables precise, synchronized control of two servo or induction motors while reducing cabinet space and simplifying wiring requirements.
Key Features
Dual-Axis Control Capabilities
Independent/Synchronized Operation: Controls two motors independently or synchronizes them with any virtual/physical motion axis via EtherNet/IP, supporting complex motion profiles
High Power Density: Delivers 8A continuous current per axis (20A peak), suitable for medium-to-high-torque applications including conveyor systems and robotic arms
EtherNet/IP Integration
Single Network Topology: Dual EtherNet ports support linear or device-ring topologies for flexible network design and redundancy
Unified Control Environment: Integrates with Studio 5000® for coordinated programming of motion, logic, and HMI, reducing development time
Advanced Efficiency & Reliability
IE4 Energy Efficiency: Achieves up to 96.5% efficiency (per Rockwell's VPC motor data), minimizing energy costs in continuous operations
Built-In Safety: Includes hardwired safe disable and functional safety features such as STO (Safe Torque Off) for machine compliance
Single Cable Technology: Combines power and feedback (including HIPERFACE DSL) into one cable, reducing wiring complexity by up to 50%
Robust Industrial Design
Wide Voltage Range: Supports 380-480V AC input (3-phase), adapting to global industrial power standards
Thermal Management: Integrated heat sinks and optional fans ensure stable operation in 0-60°C (32-140°F) environments
Industrial Applications
Large OEM Machines: Packaging, material conversion, or printing equipment requiring synchronized multi-axis control
Continuous Load Systems: Conveyor belts, winding machines, or industrial robots where IE4 efficiency reduces operational costs
Retrofit Projects: Upgrading existing systems to EtherNet/IP-based motion control with minimal reconfiguration
