2198-C1020-ERS Allen-Bradley 2198-C1020-ERS Servo Drive, Kinetix 5300

2198-C1020-ERS: Frame 2 Power for Real Loads

The 2198-C1020-ERS is a Kinetix 5300 single-axis servo drive. Allen-Bradley makes it for integrated motion on EtherNet/IP. It brings 12.2 A of steady current in a compact Frame 2 body.

This drive accepts 100…240V AC input. It reaches 3.13 kW at 230V three-phase. Peak current hits 40.6 A rms for one second. Hardwired Safe Torque Off gives a certified stop. Two network ports simplify daisy-chain wiring.

Panel Build Steps

• Stand the drive upright in a grounded cabinet.
• Keep air space above and below the body.
• Lock the zero-stack tab between close units.
• Bring 24V DC in through the 2198-TCON-24VDCIN36 kit.
• Use the 2198-H040-P-T T-connector for Frame 2.
• Run STO wires to their own plug.
• Add the 2198-DBR20-F filter for CE jobs.
• Hold motor leads under 30 m.
• Power cycle no more than once a minute.

Quick Setup, Low Service Time

• Four keys and a clear screen speed checks.
• LEDs show link and module health at a glance.
• A built-in fan starts with control power.
• The fan also spins when the inverter runs hot.
• Brake timing values come from KNX-TD001 tables.
• Swap worn plugs with the 2198-CONKIT-PWR20 set.
• Use the 2198-K53CK-D15M kit for flying-lead cables.

Filter and shared-bus parts ship apart. Check the carton label on arrival.

Where It Shines

• High-speed packaging lines
• Cartoners and case packers
• Heavy index tables

Pick this size when peak demand is high and average load is moderate. Step up a frame for long, heavy duty cycles.

FAQ

What mains voltage can this unit accept?

It works from 85V to 253V rms. It is not a 480V drive.

How long can the peak current last?

One second. After that the drive falls back to 12.2 A rms continuous.

Which line filter meets CE rules?

The 2198-DBR20-F. The drive ships with no internal EMC filter.

Can this drive push a big external shunt?

Yes, up to four models. Note the 2000 W limit on the 2198-R031 in this frame.

From field notes, what often causes trips on first power-up?

A missing STO jumper and a wrong brake delay value. Check both before you enable motion.

How much heat does it add to my cabinet?

Up to 115 W at full load on 230V one-phase. Size ventilation with that figure in mind.
