Answer:

Typical contents include:

  • A DSL adapter module or interface
  • Mounting hardware and brackets
  • Shielded cable interface blocks or connection points
  • Instructions for adapting feedback and communication signals to the Kinetix system

Exact contents may vary based on version and bundle configuration.

Question: How is the 2198-KITCON-DSL installed and wired?
Date Update:16/06/2025
Answer:

Installation Overview:

  1. Mount the DSL converter securely inside the control cabinet.
  2. Connect the motor hybrid cable to the converter input.
  3. Connect the converter output to the Kinetix drive feedback or DSL port.
  4. Route shielding and grounding according to best EMC practices.

Wiring and layout may vary slightly depending on drive orientation and cable lengths.

Question: What are common troubleshooting steps for the 2198-KITCON-DSL?
Date Update:16/06/2025
Answer:

If the kit is not functioning as expected:

  • Check cable continuity and secure grounding
  • Ensure DSL feedback settings match the encoder type in Logix Designer
  • Inspect for interference or EMI issues from nearby power cables
  • Use drive diagnostics to check for DSL communication loss

Some kits may include LED indicators for link and activity status.

Question: Which systems or drives are compatible with the 2198-KITCON-DSL?
Date Update:16/06/2025
Answer:

The kit is designed to work with:

  • Kinetix 5700 servo drives (2198-series)
  • Possibly other drives supporting Integrated Motion over EtherNet/IP
  • Motors that use DSL feedback, such as Allen-Bradley VP-Series (VPL/VPH) or MP-Series motors with integrated encoders

Always check Rockwell's compatibility matrix before installation.
