Allen Bradley Servo Controllers

The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation company offers various servo controllers that can provide significant improvements to a motor in regard to efficiency and performance. These servo controllers are used in different industries and they feature innovative and compact designs. The Kinetix servo controllers enable easy configuration and system integration, along with a wide variety of safety options. The Kinetix product family offers the 350, 5500, 5700, and 6500 controllers, along with special standalone and indexing controllers. There are also Kinetix 2000, 6000, 6200, and 7000 multi-axis and modular controllers. These servo controllers can be used with high axis counts and they meet high power requirements. Also, there are single-axis and dual-axis inverter modules available. These servo controllers reduce requirements in regard to cabinet space and they can be configured through the Ethernet/IP network, without changing any wiring. The Allen-Bradley controllers provide integrated motion, digital feedback, safe torque-off functionalities, and interchangeable control modules. The controllers are intended for different voltage ranges and for either single-phase or 3-phase power sources.

For example, the Kinetix 5700 servo controllers operate on a 3-phase power supply with an input voltage range of 324 to 528 Volts RMS (480 Volts nominal). In addition to that, there are available servo controllers that are intended for DC operation. The various voltage ranges and available options expand the capabilities of these exceptional components and allow the users to choose the best model for their applications. Most of these controllers include certifications from the CE, UL, C-Tick, and the KC standards. Since these servo controllers are strictly used in industrial environments where many factors should be taken into consideration, the manufacturer made sure that the drive is safe to operate at all times. The engineers provided additional programming software like the RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer software in order to help with processes that require complex configuration. The software solutions allow the users to maximize performance, improve productivity, and take advantage of all of the features and functions of the controllers.
