Allen-Bradley 2198-H025-ERS​ Kinetix 5500 Servo Drive, PL d Cat 3 / SIL CL2, 55 mm Zero-Stack Frame

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 2198-H025-ERS​ is a Frame 2, single-axis servo drive from the Kinetix 5500 family, Bulletin 2198, and it is the model most machine builders settle on when a 240V or 480V three-phase axis needs real power without stepping up to a Kinetix 5700 frame. It is built around Integrated Motion over EtherNet/IP: the drive does not run a local motion program, it takes position, velocity and torque commands from a Logix controller and reports feedback, faults and status back as CIP Motion objects. That keeps the axis definition, the tuning and the cam or gearing relationships inside Studio 5000 Logix Designer, where the maintenance team already works.

What makes the 2198-H025-ERS​ unusually practical is the voltage flexibility. A single catalogue number accepts 195…264 V rms three-phase (240V nominal) or 324…528 V rms three-phase (480V nominal), 47…63 Hz, and delivers 2.4 kW continuous at the lower range, 5.1 kW at the upper. Continuous output is rated 8.0 A RMS, 11.3 A 0-peak, with a 20 A RMS peak sustained for up to one second — enough for the short torque pulses of a fast index, a stamp dwell or a vertical-axis catch. The current loop runs at roughly 1 kHz and the velocity loop near 300 Hz, so the axis stays stiff without the drive fighting the mechanical resonance.

The -ERS suffix is the important part of the ordering code. E denotes the EtherNet/IP motion interface, R the regenerative/shunt capability, and S the hardwired safety option. The 2198-H025-ERS​ therefore ships with Safe Torque-Off enabled at the dedicated STO connector: two channels, S1 and S2, must be satisfied before torque-producing gate power is allowed, giving up to PL d, Category 3 per ISO 13849-1 and SIL CL2 per IEC 61800-5-2 / IEC 61508 / IEC 62061 when the installation follows the user manual. The drive also supports single-cable connection to Kinetix VPL and MPL motors via Hiperface DSL, so one 2090-CSxM cable carries motor power, brake and feedback. At 55 mm wide, 226 mm deep and 265 mm high, the 2198-H025-ERS​ is a zero-stack panel device with a 60 Ω, 50 W internal shunt, 97% efficiency and a 200 kA RMS symmetrical short-circuit rating when the published upstream protection is observed.
