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.
