Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the 1398-DDM-005-DN. Always verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution:
- 1398-DDM-005 — Same series, without DeviceNet interface; suitable if DeviceNet communication is not required.
- 1398-DDM-010-DN — Higher current (10 A) variant; use when load demands exceed 5 A continuous.
- 2098-DSD-005-DN — Ultra 3000 Series successor; direct DeviceNet replacement with enhanced diagnostics.
- 2098-DSD-005X — Ultra 3000 with SERCOS interface; requires interface card change.
- Kinetix 300 (2097-Vxx) — Modern compact servo drive; requires re-engineering of control wiring and software.
- Third-party equivalents — Drives from Yaskawa (SGDV series), Mitsubishi (MR-J4), or Siemens (SINAMICS S120) may be evaluated for cross-brand replacement with appropriate engineering review.
Note: Cross-brand replacements require full compatibility verification including firmware, feedback type, and bus protocol.

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 1398-DDM-005-DN is the right drive for your application:
- Current requirement: Continuous motor current ≤ 5 A RMS — if higher, select 1398-DDM-010-DN or 2098-DSD-010-DN.
- Communication bus: DeviceNet required — if SERCOS or EtherNet/IP is needed, select 2098-DSD-005X or Kinetix 5500.
- Feedback type: Encoder or resolver — confirm motor feedback matches drive input specification.
- Control mode: Position/velocity/torque — all supported natively; no additional option cards required.
- Power supply: 120/240 VAC single or three phase — verify site power availability.
- Replacement scenario: If replacing a failed 1398-DDM-005-DN in an existing system, the 2098-DSD-005-DN is the recommended modern equivalent with minimal re-wiring.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace the 1398-DDM-005-DN with a 2098-DSD-005-DN directly?
A: In most cases yes — the 2098-DSD-005-DN is the recommended modern successor with DeviceNet support. Minor wiring and parameter reconfiguration is typically required.
Q: Is the 1398-DDM-005-DN still in production?
A: This model has been discontinued by Rockwell Automation. Konmask.com supplies new-old-stock and refurbished units. For new installations, we recommend the 2098-DSD-005-DN.
Q: What motors are compatible with this drive?
A: Allen-Bradley MPL, MPM, and TL series servo motors with encoder or resolver feedback are natively compatible. Third-party motors may be used with appropriate feedback wiring adaptation.
Q: Can this drive be used with a ControlLogix PLC?
A: Yes — via a DeviceNet scanner module (e.g., 1756-DNB) installed in the ControlLogix chassis.
Q: Do you provide configuration support?
A: Basic parameter guidance is available via email. For full commissioning support, we recommend engaging a certified Rockwell Automation integrator.
