Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the 2097-V34PR6-LM is unavailable or requires a cost-effective alternative, the following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents. Always verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution.
- 2097-V34PR6-LM (OEM Original) — Exact match; recommended for warranty-critical or safety-certified installations.
- 2097-V34PR3-LM — Same Kinetix 300 platform, lower continuous output (3A); suitable for lighter-load axes.
- 2097-V34PR12-LM — Higher current rating (12A continuous); drop-in upgrade for higher-torque applications.
- 2097-V31PR2-LM — Single-phase 120V input variant; use only when three-phase supply is unavailable.
- Kinetix 350 (2097-Vxxx series) — Next-generation platform with enhanced diagnostics; requires firmware and wiring review.
- Third-party equivalents (Yaskawa, Mitsubishi, Siemens) — Functional replacements possible with EtherNet/IP gateway adapters; engineering assessment required.
Why Choose the Original 2097-V34PR6-LM
- Native integration with Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000 programming environment — zero additional configuration overhead.
- Plug-and-play compatibility with Allen-Bradley Kinetix servo motors (MPL, MPM, VPL series).
- Integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) eliminates external safety relay in most SIL 2 / PLd applications.
- Compact footprint reduces panel space by up to 30% vs. previous-generation drives.
- Rockwell Automation global support network and long-term spare parts availability.

- Motors: Allen-Bradley MPL-Bxxxx, MPM-Bxxxx, VPL-Bxxxx servo motor families
- Network: EtherNet/IP (CIP Motion); supports linear and ring topologies
- Safety: Compatible with GuardLogix and SmartGuard safety controllers via hardwired STO
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 2097-V34PR6-LM is the correct drive for your application, or to identify the appropriate alternative:
- Step 1 — Supply Voltage: Confirm 240V AC three-phase availability. For 120V single-phase, select 2097-V31PR2-LM.
- Step 2 — Motor Current: Verify motor continuous and peak current ratings. The -PR6 suffix indicates 6A continuous / 18A peak. Upsize to -PR12 if motor peak exceeds 18A.
- Step 3 — Feedback Type: The -LM suffix denotes low-profile multi-turn absolute encoder support. Confirm motor feedback connector compatibility.
- Step 4 — Communication: EtherNet/IP is standard. If SERCOS or analog interface is required, evaluate Kinetix 6000/6200 series instead.
- Step 5 — Safety Level: STO (SIL 2 / PLd) is built-in. For SIL 3 / PLe requirements, consult Rockwell Automation safety engineering.
- Step 6 — Environment: IP20 rating requires clean, enclosed panel. For harsh environments, add appropriate enclosure (NEMA 12 or IP54 cabinet).

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a 2097-V34PR6-LM with a 2097-V34PR12-LM without changing the motor?
A: Yes, provided the motor’s continuous current does not exceed 12A and peak does not exceed 36A. No firmware changes are required; re-tune the axis after replacement.
Q: Is the 2097-V34PR6-LM compatible with Kinetix 6000 motors?
A: Kinetix 6000 motors use a different feedback connector (Hiperface vs. low-profile). A feedback adapter cable (2090-XXNFMF-Sxx) may be required. Verify motor catalog number before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between 2097-V34PR6-LM and 2097-V34PR6?
A: The “-LM” suffix indicates the low-profile multi-turn absolute encoder interface. The non-LM variant supports incremental encoder only. Confirm your motor’s feedback type before substituting.
Q: Can this drive be used with a non-Rockwell PLC?
A: The drive communicates via standard EtherNet/IP (CIP Motion). Third-party PLCs with CIP Motion support (e.g., Omron NJ/NX series) may be compatible, but full functionality and safety integration require engineering validation.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. CoC and inspection reports are available upon request for all orders.
