Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Proven DSP Architecture — The Ultra 100 platform uses a dedicated digital signal processor for real-time current-loop closure at 8 kHz, delivering smooth torque output even at low speeds.
- Flexible Command Modes — Accepts ±10 VDC analog, step/direction pulse trains, and RS-232 serial commands, making it compatible with virtually any upstream PLC or motion controller without additional interface hardware.
- Integrated Auto-Tuning — On-board inertia identification and gain-scheduling routines reduce commissioning time from hours to minutes.
- Compact Panel Footprint — The 1398-DDM-005 occupies minimal DIN-rail or panel space, simplifying enclosure design for OEMs.
- Rockwell Ecosystem Compatibility — Pairs natively with Allen-Bradley MPL/MPF servo motors and integrates with RSLogix / Studio 5000 via serial configuration utilities.
- Long Field Service History — Introduced as part of the Ultra 100 family, this drive has an extensive installed base, ensuring availability of spare parts, documentation, and field expertise.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the 1398-DDM-005 compatible with third-party servo motors?
A: Yes. The drive accepts any servo motor with a standard incremental encoder (5 VDC differential, A/B/Z) and a three-phase brushless AC motor winding. Motor parameters (inertia, resistance, inductance, back-EMF) must be entered during commissioning via the RS-232 configuration port.
Q: Can this drive be controlled by a Siemens or Mitsubishi PLC?
A: Yes. The ±10 VDC analog velocity command input and step/direction pulse input are PLC-agnostic. Any controller capable of outputting these standard signals can command the 1398-DDM-005.
Q: What is the difference between the 1398-DDM-005 and the 1398-DDM-010?
A: The suffix number denotes continuous output current rating — 005 = 5 A, 010 = 10 A. Select the model matched to your motor’s continuous current requirement with a minimum 20% derating margin.
Q: Is a regen resistor required?
A: For applications with frequent deceleration or vertical loads, the optional 1398-DBM-005 dynamic brake module is strongly recommended to dissipate regenerative energy safely.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: All units carry a 90-day functional warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. Extended warranty terms are available — contact us for details.
