The Allen-Bradley 2198-H015-ERS is a highly compact servo drive that belongs to Rockwell Automation’s Series of Kinetix 5500 Servo Drives. Servo motor drives are electronic amplifier devices that are designed to serve the needs of industrial applications. A servo motor drive helps to monitor the feedback signal and adjusts several parameters in the automation system to control the deviation in a system. The device amplifies input signals from a control system and transmits the electric current to a servo motor to generate a motion that is proportional to the commanded signal. The drive has an innovative and compact design that requires less panel space. A cable can be used to simplify the system wiring of the drive.

The Allen-Bradley 2198-H015-ERS delivers excellent performance characteristics and a high degree of scalability at a low cost. The motor windings can be designed to match the drive ratings to ensure more efficient system sizing. It has a smaller footprint with an optimized power density that makes it ideal in situations where control panel space is an issue. It can run servo and induction motors in a single drive platform. This reduces the number of spare parts required by standardizing the drive on a single platform. This also simplifies system operation and maintenance. The drive requires a three-phase input voltage ranging from 90 volts to 264 volts of alternating current at a nominal frequency of either 50 Hertz or 60 Hertz. It produces a continuous output current of 7.1 amperes and a peak output current of 12.5 amperes. The device is also equipped with an LCD display that provides improved system diagnostics and tuning. It weighs only 5 pounds or 2.3 kilograms and is 10.43 inches long, 2.16 inches wide, and 8.26 inches deep. It can be operated in environments with temperatures ranging from 0° Celsius to 50° Celsius.
