Information About 2198-KITCON-DSL

The Allen-Bradley 2198-KITCON-DSL is an essential connector kit used to terminate Hiperface DSL feedback wires when installing Kinetix 5500 servo drives. This kit includes a two-pin connector plug designed to accept feedback wiring from 2090-CSxM1Dx single motor cables. Installation requires assembling the bottom half of the connector housing around the wired plug, ensuring proper wire alignment and shield termination. The connector housing cover includes an integrated grounding plate. When assembled, it provides a high-frequency, low-impedance bond to the cable shield, ensuring reliable feedback communication and noise immunity.

Key Features:

  • For Kinetix 5500 servo drive systems
  • Hiperface DSL feedback connector
  • Compatible with 2090-CSxM1Dx single motor cables
  • Includes grounding plate for high-frequency shielding
  • Ensures low-noise, high-integrity signal transmission
  • Easy assembly with housing and shield termination alignment
  • Reliable connector solution for servo feedback applications

Engineered for durability and precision, this connector kit meets Rockwell Automation’s quality standards and ensures proper communication between Kinetix 5500 drives and connected servo motors. It is widely used in OEM machinery, high-performance motion systems, and servo-based automation equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions about 2198-KITCON-DSL
Question: What is the 2198-KITCON-DSL used for?
Date Update:16/06/2025
Answer:

The 2198-KITCON-DSL is a conversion kit used to adapt SERCOS-based servo motors (which communicate via DSL — Digital Smart Link) for use with Kinetix 5700 or newer Kinetix drives. It's a solution for hybrid installations, where newer drives must interface with existing motors using different communication protocols.

Question: What components are included in the 2198-KITCON-DSL kit?
Date Update:16/06/2025
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.
