Allen-Bradley 2198-S160-ERS3

The Allen-Bradley 2198-S160-ERS3 is a reliable single-axis inverter module from the Kinetix 5700 Servo Drive series. This inverter manufactured by Rockwell Automation stands out with its innovative design and advanced features. The high capability of the inverter allows it to control both servo and induction motors while supporting various feedback types.

Technical Specifications:

The 2198-S160-ERS3 inverter module requires DC input current ranges from 92.3 A at 276 to 747V DC for rated power output at 950 W at 100%. The inverter generates torque between 2.5 to 4.5 Nm and has an internal capacitance of 1120 µF. The inverter delivers a peak output current of 226.2 A, with a continuous output current of 120.2 A, zero to peak. It generates continuous power output rated nominally at 60.1 kW with 480V rms, 3-phase.

Operational Parameters:

The Allen-Bradley 2198-S160-ERS3 weighs 5.44 kg, occupying a volume of 478 mm in height, 100 mm in width, and 250 mm in depth. Its high-power density allows for reduced cabinet space. The inverter has four digital inputs, while the input and output phases are three. This provides compatibility with various industrial power products with varying configurations. It can be stored at altitudes up to 3000 m during transport.

The S160-ERS3 inverter has an operating temperature range of up to 70 °C, and the non-operating temperature range is as low as -40 °C. Installing the inverter in a well-ventilated area is essential to maintain maximum performance and ensure proper cooling. The device can operate safely with an IP20 rating, protecting against dust and solid objects up to 12.5 mm.

Design Features and Safety:

The S160-ERS3 single-axis inverter module features a snap-fit bus system, reducing installation time. It supports various feedback types, including incremental encoders, absolute encoders (single-turn and multi-turn), and resolvers. The single cable technology minimizes wiring needs where several receivers are operated independently. Dual Ethernet ports support linear and device-level ring topologies. Load Observer, a real-time tuning technology, is included to mitigate the need to tune each axis manually. The S160-ERS3 inverter allows for changing safety zoning and configurations without rewiring.

The invertor has integrated advanced safety that reduces wiring requirements, downtime, and troubleshooting. To avoid accidental energization, turn off all power sources and shut them out. Before installation, ensure the power supply voltage is within the inverters specified input range of 276 to 747V DC. This regulation helps to prevent performance issues and ensures reliable operation in varying power conditions. Following all manufacturer guidelines and local electrical codes during installation ensures safety and compliance.
