Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Shared DC Bus Architecture — One power supply feeds multiple 2198-series servo drive modules, reducing panel footprint and simplifying wiring compared to individual drive power stages.
- Active Front End / Regenerative — Returns braking energy to the AC supply rather than dissipating it as heat, lowering energy costs and eliminating the need for external brake resistors in most applications.
- 208 A Bus Rating — The highest-capacity standard unit in the Kinetix 5700 lineup, suitable for large multi-axis systems with simultaneous high-torque demand.
- Seamless Logix Integration — Native EtherNet/IP connectivity allows full configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring within Studio 5000 Logix Designer — no separate drive software required.
- Safe Torque Off (STO) — Integrated SIL 2 / PLd safety function eliminates the need for external contactors in safety-rated stop circuits.
- Wide Input Voltage Range — Accepts 195–528 V AC, making it suitable for both 208 V and 480 V North American systems as well as 400 V European installations.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 2198-P208 power both single-axis and dual-axis Kinetix 5700 drive modules on the same bus?
A: Yes. The 2198-P208 is compatible with all 2198-D single-axis and 2198-S dual-axis servo drive modules. The 208 A bus rating accommodates mixed configurations — consult the Kinetix 5700 Design Guide (Pub. 2198-UM002) for bus loading calculations.
Q: Is an external line filter required?
A: The 2198-P208 has an integrated EMC filter. However, Rockwell Automation recommends an external line reactor (e.g., 2198-DBRxxx or 1321-3Rxxx) for installations with long cable runs or high harmonic distortion environments. Verify with your local EMC requirements.
Q: What is the maximum number of servo axes this power supply can support?
A: This depends on the continuous and peak current demand of each axis. The 208 A DC bus output is the limiting factor. Use the Kinetix 5700 Sizing Tool in Motion Analyzer software (Rockwell Automation) to calculate the exact axis count for your application.
Q: Is this unit compatible with 400 V European power systems?
A: Yes. The input voltage range of 195–528 V AC covers both 400 V (EU) and 480 V (NA) three-phase systems without hardware modification.
Q: Can Konmask provide a warranty or return policy?
A: Yes. All units sold by Konmask.com carry a 90-day functional warranty. Contact support@konmask.com for warranty claims or DOA replacements.
