Allen-Bradley 2198-D032-ERS3 – Dual-axis Servo Drive Inverter | Kinetix 5700 Platform
Engineering Background
The Kinetix 5700 series represents Rockwell Automation’s flagship multi-axis servo drive architecture, engineered for high-throughput manufacturing lines where axis density, deterministic motion control, and functional safety are non-negotiable. The 2198-D032-ERS3 is the dual-axis inverter node within this platform, sharing a common DC bus with other Kinetix 5700 modules to maximize energy efficiency and minimize cabinet footprint.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers sourcing replacement or expansion drives for existing Kinetix 5700 installations, this inverter delivers 32 A continuous output per axis with integrated Safe Torque-Off (STO) safety function and native EtherNet/IP connectivity — eliminating the need for external safety relays in most SIL 2 / PLe applications.

Proven Application Environments
- Packaging machinery — high-speed pick-and-place, form-fill-seal lines requiring tight multi-axis synchronization
- Automotive assembly — robotic welding and transfer systems with functional safety requirements
- Semiconductor & electronics manufacturing — precision gantry and wafer-handling stages
- Printing & converting — web tension control and register correction on multi-axis presses
- Material handling — servo-driven conveyor indexing and sortation systems
- Food & beverage — washdown-adjacent panel installations with STO for operator safety zones
Engineering Advantages
- Shared DC bus architecture — regenerative energy from decelerating axes is redistributed to accelerating axes, reducing peak demand and energy costs by up to 30%
- Dual-axis density — two fully independent servo axes in a single module width, halving cabinet space vs. single-axis alternatives
- Integrated STO (no external relay required) — simplifies safety circuit design and reduces BOM cost for SIL 2 / PLe machinery
- Native CIP Motion — deterministic motion coordination via standard EtherNet/IP; no proprietary motion bus required
- Universal feedback interface — supports absolute, incremental, and resolver feedback without additional interface cards
- Logix-native configuration — fully parameterized within Studio 5000; no separate drive commissioning software
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 2198-D032-ERS3 operates as an inverter node on the Kinetix 5700 shared DC bus rail. A 2198-Pxxx DC bus power supply (or regenerative bus supply) provides the common DC link. The inverter draws from this bus and synthesizes three-phase AC output for each axis independently. EtherNet/IP daisy-chains through the dual-port switch, and the GuardLogix safety controller communicates STO commands over the same network — no dedicated safety fieldbus required. Feedback signals from the servo motor encoders connect directly to the inverter’s dual feedback ports.

Procurement Process
- Confirm catalog number 2198-D032-ERS3 against your BOM or existing drive label
- Verify firmware revision compatibility with your Studio 5000 project (v28 minimum)
- Submit RFQ or place order directly — lead time typically 1–3 business days for in-stock units
- Request serialized inspection report if required by your quality management system
- Contact support@konmask.com for volume pricing, blanket orders, or expedited shipping
Technical FAQ
Q: Can the 2198-D032-ERS3 operate as a single-axis drive?
A: Yes. Either axis port can be used independently; the unused axis simply remains unconfigured in Studio 5000.
Q: Is this module compatible with Kinetix 5500 bus supplies?
A: No. The Kinetix 5700 uses a dedicated DC bus rail (2198-Pxxx series). It is not interchangeable with Kinetix 5500 infrastructure.
Q: What is the difference between ERS3 and ERS4 variants?
A: ERS4 adds integrated Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safe Speed Monitor (SSM) functions. ERS3 provides STO only. Confirm your safety function requirements before substituting.
Q: Does this drive support linear motors?
A: Yes, when paired with compatible Rockwell linear motor families and configured with the appropriate motor feedback type in Studio 5000.
Q: What warranty applies?
A: Konmask provides a 90-day functional warranty on all verified units. OEM warranty terms apply to new-in-box stock where applicable.
