2198-H015-ERS Brand New 2198H015ERS Kinetix 5500 AC Servo Drive
PRODUCT DETAILS
2198-H015-ERS — Kinetix 5500 Single-Axis Servo Drive, Hardwired Safety, 5A Continuous
The 2198-H015-ERS is a Frame 2 single-axis servo drive from the Kinetix 5500 family, delivering 5A continuous and 12.5A peak output current with hardwired Safe Torque Off built directly into the unit rather than requiring an add-on safety card. It accepts a wide AC input range covering single-phase 230V and three-phase 230V or 480V configurations, controlling motion and feedback over EtherNet/IP using the same drive hardware across all three voltage classes.

Hardwired Safety Built Into the Base Unit
The "ERS" designation on this drive means the Safe Torque Off function ships active from the factory and is wired through a dedicated connector — there's no separate safety option card to install or configure before STO is available. Connecting the STO inputs to a safety circuit enables the function immediately; the drive's protective knock-out cover over the STO connector is removed specifically because this hardwired safety path is present on every ERS-suffix unit.
The dual voltage range — single-phase 230V, three-phase 230V, or three-phase 480V — on the same physical drive is a practical advantage for system integrators stocking spare parts across machines built for different regional supply voltages. One catalog number covers all three input scenarios rather than requiring separate stock for each voltage class.
FAQ
Q: Can the STO function be bypassed for maintenance or testing without removing the drive?
A bypass wiring configuration is available specifically for this purpose, connecting both safety inputs to disable STO temporarily — this should only be used under controlled maintenance conditions per the drive's safety documentation, never as a permanent operating configuration.
Q: Does this drive require a separate converter module to operate?
No, when operated standalone with its own AC input. It can also participate in shared-bus configurations with a separate converter module if the application calls for multi-axis bus sharing instead.
Q: What feedback types does this drive support?
Feedback compatibility depends on the connected motor and cable assembly — verify the specific motor's feedback protocol against the drive's supported interfaces, using the manufacturer-specified cable assemblies rather than third-party cables.
Q: Can this drive be used with a capacitor module for additional bus energy storage?
Yes, in most configurations. Standalone single-phase operation on certain low-current models in this family is excluded from capacitor module compatibility — verify the specific drive and bus configuration against the system design guide before adding one.
