2097-V33PR5-LM | Allen-Bradley Kinetix 350 2.0 kW Single-Axis Servo Drive

The 2097-V33PR5-LM is a Kinetix 350 single-axis servo drive that provides motion control over an EtherNet/IP network. Its main function is to control the movement of rotary or linear motors in automation systems, particularly in manufacturing, packaging, or assembly lines. It supports indexing, point-to-point positioning, and coordinated motion when used with compatible controllers. The drive integrates easily into Allen-Bradley architectures, enabling efficient programming and monitoring via Studio 5000. Its Ethernet-based communication simplifies wiring and allows integration with HMI and I/O systems. Overall, it enables precise, programmable control of motor speed and position.

The drive provides a continuous output current of 11.3 A (peak) and 8.0 A (rms), allowing it to run motors under steady load without interruption. Its peak output current reaches 33.9 A (0-pk) or 24.0 A (rms), making it capable of handling high torque demand during acceleration or rapid position changes. This combination of current ratings ensures dynamic motor performance for demanding industrial applications. The drive can also handle brief current surges during machine startup or rapid movement. It’s important to pair it with a compatible motor to avoid exceeding thermal limits.

The 2097-V33PR5-LM uses EtherNet/IP as its communication protocol. It has an integrated Ethernet port that enables real-time control and feedback exchange between the drive and the controller. The drive can also simultaneously communicate with HMIs and I/O modules, making it ideal for integrated architecture. IP address configuration is done manually or via BOOTP. This single-interface approach simplifies wiring, improves data integrity, and allows fast troubleshooting through diagnostic messages.

Yes, the 2097-V33PR5-LM includes Safe Torque-Off (STO) functionality. This safety feature ensures that torque-generating energy to the motor is safely removed without shutting down the drive entirely. It complies with international safety standards for machine control (e.g., ISO 13849-1, SIL CL 2). STO allows safe machine maintenance and reduces downtime during safety events. When properly integrated, it eliminates the need for external contactors, lowering system complexity and cost. It enhances operator and machine safety in accordance with modern safety regulations.

The 2097-V33PR5-LM is designed to work with MP-Series and TL-Series servo motors from Allen-Bradley. These include low-inertia and medium-inertia rotary motors, as well as linear actuators depending on the application. Compatibility is ensured via digital encoder feedback and motor ID recognition. When correctly sized, these motors provide optimal torque-speed profiles for smooth, responsive motion control. It's essential to match motor electrical characteristics with the drive’s output to prevent overload or communication issues. Engineering tools from Rockwell can aid in proper sizing.
