• S2: Networked Safe Torque Off (STO) functional safety execution level.

Hardware Performance Data

EtherNet/IP Deterministic Synchronization and Flash Execution

The drive leverages EtherNet/IP deterministic networks to process real-time CIP Motion trajectory commands alongside hard-real-time CIP Safety signals. Internal control loops calculate high-bandwidth current and velocity vectors synchronized with central automation controllers. Firmware flash compatibility maintains drive operating parameters, motor feedback profiles, and network configurations in non-volatile flash memory to protect data integrity during system shutdown cycles.

Physical Cabinet Installation Rules

• Thermal Ventilation Gap Mount the unit vertically on a metallic backplate maintaining 100 mm top and bottom clearance for natural convection cooling.

• Direct PE Grounding Bond the drive enclosure ground lug directly to the cabinet protective earth (PE) bus bar using a low-impedance copper strap.

• Shielded Cable Termination Terminate motor power cable braided shields directly to the chassis grounding plate using heavy-duty 360-degree clamps.

• Shared Bus Interconnection Align adjacent Kinetix 5500 drives using original shared AC/DC bus bars to eliminate discrete power wiring connections.

• Terminal Plug Tightening Torque all removable power terminal block screws to a maximum specification of 0.8 Nm.

Hardware Technical Details

• What continuous current rating does the 2198-H070-ERS2 output to connected servo motors?

  The drive delivers up to 11.3 A continuous current (0-peak) and 28.3 A peak current across three-phase AC output phases.

• Does the 2198-H070-ERS2 drive support hot-swapping under active line voltage?

  Hot-swapping is prohibited; line power and 24 VDC control power must be completely isolated before removing power connector blocks.

• How does the network safety function execute over the Ethernet interface?

  Safety logic processes hard-real-time Safe Torque Off (STO) commands transmitted directly via CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP protocols.

• What control voltage input is required to energize internal drive logic?

  The internal control circuitry requires an external regulated auxiliary power source supplying 24 VDC at 0.63 A continuous load.

• What physical feedback types connect to the motor feedback connector?

  The drive supports Hiperface DSL single-cable technology along with digital quadrature feedback encoders via dedicated terminal blocks.

• What topology modes are supported by the dual RJ45 Ethernet interfaces?

  The dual ports support linear, star, and Device Level Ring (DLR) fault-tolerant network topology configurations natively.

• What is the upper operating temperature limit without thermal derating?

  The drive functions at full rated capacity from 0 deg C up to 50 deg C ambient panel temperature.

• Which software package handles drive configuration and motion axis tuning?

  Drive parameters, axis setup, and gain tuning are configured using the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application environment.
