Allen Bradley Kinetix 5500 Series Servo Drive

Rockwell Automation has expanded its Integrated Architecture with the Kinetix 5500 servo drive with Integrated Safety option and VP Low Inertia servo motor off ering. Combined as a system, they can provide a cost-effective motion solution that delivers the high performance and scalability you need to compete in today’s industry. Enhancing the current midrange architecture portfolio, this motion system is designed to connect and operate with the new family of CompactLogix controllers using Studio 5000 Software supporting Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP. With the benefits of this motion system, you can now run motion applications on a single control platform, using a single network –simplifying the design, operation and maintenance of equipment. With its innovative, compact design, the Kinetix 5500 requires less panel space and can be connected easily. In addition, you can reduce installation and commissioning time by using just a single cable.

You can now get the feedback, motor brake and motor power all in one cable – simplifying wiring and reducing inventory.  To further enhance the design, the Kinetix 5500 has dual Ethernet ports allowing for multiple topologies.
