Drive Servo Allen-Bradley 2198-H015-ERS Kinetix 5500

Description

The 2198-H015-ERS is a Kinetix 5500 servo drive for controlling compatible rotary motors and linear actuators in single-axis or multi-axis motion systems. It accepts single-phase or three-phase 240V-class input power and three-phase 480V-class input power. The drive can also operate as a common-bus follower through a shared DC bus.

The drive provides 5.0 A continuous output current and 12.5 A peak output current rms. Its nominal continuous output power is 1.0 kW with 230V single-phase input, 1.5 kW with 230V three-phase input, and 3.2 kW with 480V three-phase input.

The 2198-H015-ERS supports hardwired functional safety within the Kinetix 5500 platform. The drive communicates through EtherNet/IP and supports coordinated motion architectures based on compatible Logix controllers. Its shared-bus capability permits AC, DC, and hybrid power configurations in multi-axis systems.

The unit includes a 2198-KITCON-DSL feedback connector kit for use with Kinetix VP motors. Other compatible rotary motors and linear actuators require the appropriate Hiperface-to-DSL feedback converter kit and specified motor cabling.

Installation Guidelines

• Install the drive vertically inside a suitable industrial enclosure.
• Maintain the specified clearances for airflow, wiring, and connector access.
• Size enclosure ventilation using the documented drive power-dissipation values.
• Connect protective earth and bonding conductors before applying input power.
• Route motor power, control power, feedback, and network cables according to the system installation requirements.
• Use shielded motor and feedback cabling specified for the connected motor or actuator.
• Apply branch-circuit protection suitable for the selected input voltage and system configuration.
• Limit the drive to one input-power cycle per minute.
• Verify the AC supply configuration before connecting 240V-class or 480V-class power.
• Include motor brake current when sizing the external 24V DC control-power supply.
• Observe the applicable motor cable limits for the input power source and motor combination.
• Keep the combined power cable length for axes on the same DC bus within 250 m.
• Use the 2198-H2DCK converter kit only with supported motors, actuators, and cables.
