DC Bus Capacitor Solution — Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 | Kinetix 5700 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 Capacitor Module is engineered for high-demand servo drive applications where DC bus voltage stability is critical. Typical deployment environments include:
- Automotive Assembly Lines — Multi-axis servo systems controlling welding robots, transfer presses, and body-in-white handling equipment where regenerative energy must be absorbed without tripping drives.
- Packaging Machinery — High-cycle horizontal flow wrappers, case erectors, and palletizers running Kinetix 5700 multi-axis configurations that require bus capacitance to buffer deceleration energy.
- Printing & Converting — Web-tension servo systems on gravure and flexographic presses where rapid speed changes generate regenerative spikes on the shared DC bus.
- Material Handling & Conveyors — Sortation systems and high-speed gantry cranes where multiple axes decelerate simultaneously, demanding additional bus capacitance to prevent overvoltage faults.
- Machine Tool & CNC — Multi-spindle machining centers using Kinetix 5700 drives where coordinated axis motion creates regenerative energy that must be stored and redistributed.
- Semiconductor & Electronics Manufacturing — Precision pick-and-place and wafer-handling systems requiring ultra-stable DC bus voltage to protect sensitive servo axes.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Shared DC Bus Architecture — Plugs directly into the Kinetix 5700 shared DC bus rail, allowing regenerative energy from decelerating axes to be stored and reused by accelerating axes, reducing net energy consumption and eliminating the need for external braking resistors in many applications.
- Overvoltage Fault Prevention — Adds capacitance to the common bus, absorbing voltage spikes during rapid deceleration and preventing nuisance overvoltage trips that cause unplanned downtime.
- Scalable Multi-Axis Design — Multiple 2198-CAPMOD-2240 modules can be paralleled on the same bus rail to match the energy storage requirements of large multi-axis systems.
- Seamless Studio 5000 Integration — Fully recognized by Logix Designer / Studio 5000 for configuration, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance via EtherNet/IP.
- Compact DIN-Rail Form Factor — Minimizes panel footprint while delivering substantial bus capacitance, critical in space-constrained machine cabinets.
- Genuine Rockwell Automation Hardware — Ensures full firmware compatibility, warranty coverage, and access to Rockwell TechConnect support.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can I use the 2198-CAPMOD-2240 with Kinetix 5500 drives?
A: No. The 2198-CAPMOD-2240 is designed exclusively for the Kinetix 5700 shared DC bus architecture. Kinetix 5500 uses a different bus topology and is not compatible.
Q: How many capacitor modules can I connect on a single DC bus rail?
A: Rockwell Automation specifies the maximum number of modules per bus segment in publication 2198-UM002. Typically, the limit is determined by total bus capacitance and the power supply rating. Consult the sizing tool in Studio 5000 or contact our engineering team.
Q: Does this module replace the need for a braking resistor?
A: In many applications, yes. By storing regenerative energy on the bus, the capacitor module reduces or eliminates the need for dynamic braking resistors. However, for applications with very high regenerative energy or infrequent but large deceleration events, a bus conditioner or resistor may still be required. A full energy audit is recommended.
Q: What is the lead time for the 2198-CAPMOD-2240?
A: Konmask.com maintains stock of common Kinetix 5700 components. Contact us at support@konmask.com for real-time availability and lead time confirmation.
Q: Is this a genuine Rockwell Automation part?
A: Yes. All parts supplied by Konmask.com are genuine Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation components sourced through verified channels. Traceability documentation is available upon request.
Q: Can you provide a Certificate of Conformance (COC)?
A: Yes. A COC and supporting documentation can be provided for all orders. Please request this at the time of purchase or quote.
