2198-E4015-ERS New Original Kinetix 5100 Servo Drive 2198E4015ERS
PRODUCT DETAILS
2198-E4015-ERS — 5100 Series Servo Drive, 400V Class, 1.5 kW, Hardwired Safety, Indexing
The 2198-E4015-ERS is a 400V class servo drive from the 5100 series, delivering 1.5 kW output power with 6.05A continuous and 15.11A peak current capability. It includes hardwired Safe Torque Off and onboard indexing functionality — discrete point-to-point positioning without requiring a full motion controller — communicating over EtherNet/IP for both standard I/O and motion-related data exchange.

400V Class Indexing Drive With Hardwired Safety
Indexing capability built into the drive itself covers a meaningful category of applications — fixed-position moves between discrete stations, rotary table positioning, simple pick-and-place sequencing — without requiring a dedicated motion controller or the programming overhead of full path-based motion. For machines where the motion requirement is genuinely a series of point-to-point moves rather than coordinated multi-axis interpolation, this onboard capability simplifies the control architecture considerably.
The hardwired STO function ships active, with the protective knock-out cover removed at the factory specifically because the safety connector is present and intended for immediate use. Wiring the STO inputs to a safety relay or PLC safety output enables certified torque removal independent of the drive's standard control electronics — bypass wiring is available for situations where the safety function isn't required, though this should only be used where the application's risk assessment genuinely supports it.
FAQ
Q: Does the onboard indexing function require a separate motion controller?
No. Indexing capability is built into the drive itself for discrete point-to-point positioning — a separate motion controller isn't required for this function, though one can still be used for more complex coordinated motion if the application calls for it.
Q: Can this drive operate from a 240V supply instead of 400V class?
No. This is a 400V class drive specifically. A different model rated for 240V class operation would be required for that voltage range.
Q: Is the STO function active out of the box, or does it require configuration first?
The STO function ships enabled. Connecting the safety inputs to a safety circuit activates the protection immediately — no additional drive-side configuration step is needed to enable the hardwired safety function itself.
Q: What feedback types are compatible with this drive?
Feedback compatibility depends on the specific motor paired with the drive — verify the motor's feedback protocol against the drive's supported interfaces and use the manufacturer-specified cable assemblies for the combination.
