2198-D057-ERS4 | Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5700 Dual-Axis Safe Speed Servo Drive Module

The 2198-D057-ERS4 is a dual-axis inverter module from the Kinetix 5700 servo drive family by Allen-Bradley. It enables high-performance motion control over EtherNet/IP networks for coordinated control of two axes. The module is used in industrial automation applications where synchronized or individual axis control is needed. It provides efficient torque, speed, and position control for servo motors. With real-time feedback and integrated safety features, it ensures accurate and safe operations. The 2198-D057-ERS4 is typically paired with Rockwell servo motors and integrated into Logix-based systems.

The 2198-D057-ERS4 offers two rated continuous output power levels, depending on the input voltage. When powered with 240V three-phase input, it provides 8.0 kW nominal continuous power. With 480V three-phase input, the output power increases to 15.9 kW. This flexibility allows the module to be used in a broad range of motion control applications. It is ideal for medium-to-high load servo systems that require precise control and robust performance. The module’s high output capacity supports dynamic motor operations in demanding environments.

The 2198-D057-ERS4 uses EtherNet/IP as its primary communication protocol. This enables real-time motion control and integration with Allen-Bradley controllers, HMIs, and other EtherNet/IP-enabled devices. It supports CIP Motion for deterministic and time-synchronized control across the network. The use of standard Ethernet cabling and switches simplifies wiring and reduces system costs. The module is compatible with Studio 5000 Logix Designer for full parameter configuration and diagnostics. EtherNet/IP also allows for remote access, monitoring, and firmware updates.

Yes, the 2198-D057-ERS4 is specifically designed as a dual-axis inverter module. It can control two independent servo axes simultaneously, making it ideal for coordinated motion tasks. This allows reduced cabinet space and fewer wiring connections compared to single-axis setups. The module supports synchronous and independent motion control, depending on the application requirements. It simplifies system architecture while delivering high performance on both axes. Configuration and diagnostics are managed through integrated software tools.
