The 2198-E1015-ERS drive is an Ethernet servo drive. It is a single-axis drive that belongs to the Allen-Bradley’s Kinetix 5100 product line. Kinetix 5100 systems include single-phase and three-phase standalone configurations. The motors can connect to the drive through the 15-pin motor feedback connector. Auxiliary connections are made through the auxiliary connector on the front of the drive. The communication topologies supported by the 2198-E1015-ERS drive include ring, star, and linear Ethernet topologies while using the ControlLogix, Micro8000, and MicroLogix controllers. If any advice becomes disconnected in linear topologies, then all the devices that are downstream of that device will lose communication. The disconnection of only one device in ring topologies does not affect any other device. In a star topology, each device is connected directly to a switch.

The 2198-E1015-ERS drive supports safe torque-off through hardwired connections. The bus capacitance of the 2198-E1015-ERS drive is rated for 1680 microfarad. The capacitive energy absorption is 19.4 Joules. The undervoltage thresholds are 70 Volts AC and 150 Volts AC at 120 Volts AC input voltage and 230 Volts AC input voltage, respectively. The overvoltage thresholds are 410 Volts AC at both 120 Volts AC input voltage and 230 Volts AC input voltage. The internal shunt resistor has a resistance of 100 Ohms and the internal shunt power is 14 Watts. The continuous and peak output current ratings are 7.9 Amps and 23.7 Amps, respectively. The approximate weight of the drive is 2.87 pounds. The input voltage can be single-phase or three-phase, and 120 Volts AC input voltage can be single-phase or three-phase voltage while 230 Volts AC input voltage can only be three-phase voltage. The AC input frequency range is 47 to 63 Hertz.
