Bulletin 2198 EtherNet/IP Encoder Output Module

Future Proofing Your System and Enabling The Connected Enterprise

The Bulletin 2198 Encoder Output Module synchronizes devices to your integrated motion

on EtherNet/IP system. Reduced wiring increases reliability by mitigating the need to split

encoder signals between the motor and drive. The module also increases machine design

flexibility. It can sync to any axis of motion (integrated motion over EtherNet/IP or virtual)

Kinetix® and PowerFlex® drives.

Features and Benefits

Enhanced Performance

and Troubleshooting

•  Synchronizes third-party devices to our integrated motion system

• Configure and program with Studio 5000 Logix Designer® Software

• In-cabinet installation mitigates the need to mount encoders on the machine

• Reduces wiring

Increased Flexibility

• Syncs with any axis of motion. It is not limited to nearby axis.

• Configurable output: quadrature or pulse train

• Dual Ethernet ports support a variety of network topologies

•  Provides role-based access control to routines and Add-On Instructions

The innovative snap fit bus system requires no tools and can help you to more easily

assemble and install. The Kinetix 5700 also incorporates Load Observer real-time tuning

technology, yielding high performance control while mitigating the need to tune most axes,

thus reducing your commissioning time. DSL Feedback ports support single cable technology

and helps simplify wiring with Allen-Bradley® Kinetix VP motors.

Providing Consistent Machine Performance Globally

The Kinetix 5700 regenerative bus supply also expands capabilities

to address the needs of large applications. Extend the DC-bus up

to 70 m away from the power supply cluster to extended drive clusters of

Kinetix 5700 inverters without DC-bus fusing. Extend up to 1200 m total motor

cable length per bus sharing group.

The Kinetix 5700 regenerative bus supply leverages EtherNet/IP to enable monitoring of energy

usage, and provides direct energy cost savings by regenerating excess energy back to the AC

power source or for plant-wide use. The bus supply offers an integrated LC filter to help reduce

installation costs. With a smaller overall footprint, users can expect up to a 70% reduction

in required cabinet space. This supply is CIP security capable and offers defense in depth to

address different types of physical and electronic threats. The bus supply can assure peak

machine production output capability by stabilizing the DC bus voltage by riding through AC

input voltage dips. This allows global machine manufactures to ship anywhere in the world and

still meet machine output specifications.

Features and Benefits

• Bus supply will perform common DC bus voltage regulation regardless of input AC voltage

• Excess energy regeneration back to the AC power source or for plant-wide use allows for

energy cost savings

• Integrated LC Filter reduces installation costs and reduces cabinet space

Kinetix 5700 Servo Drive Target Industries and Applications

The Kinetix 5700 servo drive is a solution for OEMs requiring large, high performance

machines with ControlLogix® or CompactLogix™ controllers. It is the ideal choice for machine

builders that have high axis count and higher power requirements. The Kinetix 5700 with

integrated safety, provides added benefits to customers looking for an EtherNet/IP solution

for safety. The Kinetix 5700 combines high performance servo and vector motor control,

which helps reduce machine complexity and reduces time and labor costs for integration.

Integrated Safety

The Kinetix 5700 servo drive with integrated safety on EtherNet/IP, mitigates the need to

separately wire the drive for safety. It reduces overall system wiring, saves time and money

in installation and helps remove potential points of failure, thus resulting in less down time

and troubleshooting. Integrated safety provides the capability to change the safety zoning

and configurations, without needing to physically rewire the devices.

Other features:

• Reduces complexity with a single network, EtherNet/IP for motion and safety functions

• Use EtherNet/IP to provide rich diagnostic data

• Simplifies zoning and reduces changeover time

• Integrated or hardwired safety – Safe Torque-Off – SIL3 PLe

• Advanced safety with five safe stop functions and three safe monitoring functions

Save time and enhance machine performances with tuning-less

operation features

Traditionally, tuning the axis on a machine was a special art. Whether it was commissioning

a machine or providing maintenance due to changing mechanics over time – tuning has

been a time consuming job. Kinetix 5700 tuning-less features include:

• Load Observer real-time tuning technology to automatically tune each axis, compensate

for unknown mechanics and adjust for applications with varying inertia during operation

• Virtual torque sensor functionality to detect anomalies and provide analytics

• Adaptive tuning with multiple tracking notch filters to mitigate resonances

Features and Benefits

• Dual-axis modules

• 200V and 400V class motor support

• Virtual torque sensor functionality to detect anomalies and provide analytics

• Command notch filter reduces load oscillation in applications without a load sensor

• Reduced wiring with single cable technology

• Tuning-less commissioning for most axes

• Best-in-class power density reduces cabinet space requirements up to 67%

• Innovative snapfit bus system

• CIP energy support to monitor energy data

• Large power range 1.6 to 112 kW

• Servo and induction motor control

• Wide range of feedback types supported

• Dual Ethernet ports support linear and device level ring topologies

• Accessory modules provide installation flexibility

• CIP security capable offers defense in depth to address different types of physical and electronic threats
