The Allen-Bradley 2198-D020-ERS3 represents the pinnacle of density and performance for the Kinetix 5700 multi-axis servo system. This dual-axis inverter drives two independent servo motors simultaneously within a streamlined 55mm module width. It converts DC bus power into high-precision AC synchronous motor control, supporting demanding applications like high-speed packaging and robotics. We supply this unit 100% Brand New and Original in the Factory Box, ensuring your system benefits from the latest hardware revisions and full component longevity.
The 2198-D020-ERS3 utilizes high-frequency switching and advanced control algorithms to maintain sub-millisecond synchronization across axes.

Maximum Cabinet Density: By integrating two axes into a single 55mm housing, the 2198-D020-ERS3 slashes panel space requirements. This allows engineers to deploy complex, multi-axis robotic gantries or packaging lines without increasing the control cabinet footprint.
Snap-Fit DC Bus Interconnect: This module utilizes the Kinetix 5700 snap-fit bus system. This architecture replaces traditional wiring with solid bus connectors, which eliminates potential loose connections and drastically reduces assembly time during system builds.
High-Speed Synchronization: The 1000 Hz current loop bandwidth ensures the drive reacts instantly to load changes. This prevents position errors during high-speed indexing or coordinated linear interpolation across multiple axes.
Dual-Port EtherNet/IP Networking: The integrated switch supports both linear and Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies. DLR capability ensures that your motion control remains active even if a network cable breaks, preventing costly machine downtime.
Q: Can the 2198-D020-ERS3 control different motor sizes on each axis?
A: Yes. You can configure each axis independently in Studio 5000 Logix Designer. As long as each motor's continuous current requirement remains at or below 8.0 Amps RMS, the drive will precisely control two different motor frames or series (such as a VPL on Axis A and an MPM on Axis B).
Q: What is the benefit of the -ERS3 safety rating?
A: The -ERS3 designation indicates integrated hardwired Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality. This allows the drive to remove power from the motors without shutting down the entire controller, achieving SIL 3 / PLe safety ratings while enabling faster machine restarts after a safety event.
Q: Does this module require a separate power supply?
A: Yes. As an "Inverter" module, the 2198-D020-ERS3 does not connect directly to AC line power. It requires a DC bus connection from a Kinetix 5700 DC-bus Power Supply (2198-Pxxx) or a Regenerative Bus Supply.
Q: Is this unit compatible with Kinetix 5500 systems?
A: No. The 2198-D020-ERS3 belongs exclusively to the Kinetix 5700 family. It uses a different DC bus architecture and communication profile than the Kinetix 5500 series.
