Does your Kinetix 5500 servo drive frequently trip due to voltage spikes triggering alarms? The Allen Bradley 2198-D012-ERS3 is a 12-kilowatt regenerative resistor module specifically designed to address this issue. It converts the excess electrical energy generated by the motor into heat energy for consumption, ensuring the voltage remains within a safe range and enabling the equipment to operate continuously. Hanyite Automation Technology, as a professional supplier, guarantees that the products are original, brand new, and in stock. If you have a purchase requirement, we will arrange the shipment at any time to help you solve the equipment failure problem.
This module is extremely easy to use. It is basically a "dumb" operation that doesn't require you to understand complex programming or calculate resistance parameters by yourself. Just connect it to the Kinetix 5500 driver, and once the driver is powered on, it will automatically recognize it and start working immediately. Moreover, it is small in size and can be simply clamped onto the guide rail. There is also an indicator light at the front. A green light indicates normal operation. There is no need to connect to a computer to view the software. The on-site technicians can tell at a glance whether the machine is functioning properly.
Allen Bradley 2198-D012-ERS3 is specifically designed for the Kinetix 5500 servo drive and is factory-matched. Its stability and anti-interference capabilities are much stronger than those of the general-purpose resistors. The most remarkable feature is that it supports a common bus connection. This means that if you have several drives in your cabinet, this module can uniformly handle the braking energy of all of them, saving money, space, and enabling seamless communication with Rockwell's Studio 5000 software. In case of a failure, you can simply view the issue on the touch screen.
Purchasing the Allen Bradley 2198-D012-ERS3 is very simple. First, please tell us your motor model and the specific operating conditions. We will help you confirm whether you really need this 12kW model to avoid buying the wrong one. Once the confirmation is done, we will sign the contract and make the payment. Once the finance is received, the warehouse will immediately ship the goods. Before shipping, we will take photos and videos to inspect the goods. After receiving the goods, if you have any questions about installation or wiring that you don't understand, our technical support will be online to teach you how to use it smoothly, ensuring that you can use it conveniently.
Q1. How can I determine if my servo system definitely needs this resistance module?
A: This mainly depends on your application conditions. If there are frequent start-stop operations (such as more than 10 emergency stops per minute), large inertia loads (like flywheels, large winding mechanisms), or vertical-axis applications (such as elevators, Z-axis of machine tools), the motor generates a large amount of reactive energy, and the capacitor cannot absorb it. In such cases, this module must be added; otherwise, the driver will frequently report "overvoltage fault" and shut down.
Q2. Is this 12kW power sufficient? How to choose the model?
A: The rated power of Allen Bradley 2198-D012-ERS3 is 12kW. When choosing the model, you can't just rely on the motor power. You need to use Rockwell's "Motion Analyzer" software to calculate your braking power. If the peak braking power or average braking power you calculate is within the capacity range of this module, then you can use it. If you are unsure, send us the model of your motor and the operating parameters. We will help you with the free model selection for free.
Q3. Can it always operate in the braking state?
A: No. It operates under an "intermittent load" system. It was designed to consume the instantaneous energy during braking, not to handle continuous loads. For example, if the motor continuously pulls a heavy object at a constant speed, it cannot withstand such continuous power generation, and over time it will overheat and trigger protection. If continuous braking is required, it is recommended to use a feedback unit (to return the electricity to the power grid).
