Information About 2198-H2DCK

The 2198-H2DCK serves as a dedicated interface module for converting Hiperface encoder signals into DSL (Digital Servo Link) signals accepted by Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5500 drives. This converter enables users to integrate motors equipped with Hiperface encoders into newer drive architectures without needing to replace the motor itself, providing cost-effective modernization of motion systems. Designed with robust electronics and compliant with CE, KC, and RCM standards, the module maintains signal integrity and ensures reliable closed-loop control during high-performance motion operation. Its compact build allows for straightforward installation and wiring, while the optimized internal design supports stable and accurate feedback translation critical for precision servo control. The 2198-H2DCK is well-suited for machine builders and facilities transitioning to Kinetix 5500 technology while retaining existing motor assets.

Key Features:

  • Dedicated Signal Conversion: Converts Hiperface motor encoder signals into DSL feedback accepted by Kinetix 5500 drives, enabling mixed-generation system compatibility.
  • Precision Feedback Handling: Maintains accurate signal integrity for stable servo performance and reliable closed-loop motion control.
  • Compact Integration Design: Small, lightweight module allows easy installation into control panels and motion system assemblies.
  • Standards-Certified Construction: Meets CE, KC, and RCM compliance requirements for global industrial installations.
  • Upgrade-Friendly Architecture: Facilitates modernization of existing servo systems without replacing motors, reducing downtime and hardware costs.
  • Reliable Electrical Interface: Engineered for consistent operation under industrial conditions with durable internal components.
  • Designed for Kinetix 5500 Systems: Ensures full compatibility with DSL-based feedback inputs used in advanced Rockwell Automation drives.

The 2198-H2DCK delivers the reliability and precision required for integrating Hiperface-equipped servo motors into modern Kinetix 5500 motion systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 2198-H2DCK
Question: What is the purpose of the 2198-H2DCK?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

The 2198-H2DCK is used to connect motors with traditional dual-cable interfaces (one for power, one for feedback) to Kinetix 5500 or 5700 drives, which typically support single-cable technology (DSL). It acts as a conversion interface, enabling backward compatibility with legacy motors.

Question: What components does the 2198-H2DCK kit include?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

The conversion kit generally includes:

  • A feedback breakout board or connector adapter
  • Wiring harness or cable tail for feedback routing
  • Mounting hardware for secure installation in the control panel
  • Instructions/manual for correct configuration and pinout

Some kits may vary slightly depending on motor or encoder compatibility.

Question: How is the 2198-H2DCK configured or wired?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:
  • Motor Feedback: Connect the feedback cable (e.g., D-sub or circular connector) to the adapter port on the 2198-H2DCK
  • Adapter Output: Routes the feedback signal to the Drive DSL port via an internal feedback signal mapping
  • Power Cable: Connect motor power cable directly to the drive as usual

Important: Always follow the specific wiring guide provided with the kit to ensure correct channel mapping (e.g., encoder power, A/B/Z signals, commutation).

Question: Is configuration in Studio 5000 required for the 2198-H2DCK?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, when used with Logix-based motion, ensure:

  • The motor feedback type is correctly selected in the axis configuration
  • Feedback diagnostics are monitored (e.g., signal loss or mismatches)
  • DSI/DSL feedback settings are compatible

No additional module profile is needed; the kit is hardware-passive.

Question: Can I use the 2198-H2DCK with new single-cable (VP) motors?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

No — the kit is for dual-cable legacy motor systems. If you're using VP motors with single-cable technology, connect directly to the Kinetix drive using a 2090-Series hybrid cable.
