Chapter 3 Mount the Kinetix 5500 Drive System
Determine Mounting Order
Mount drives in order (left to right) according to power rating (highest to
lowest) starting with the highest power rating. If power rating is unknown,
position drives (highest to lowest) from left to right based on amp rating.
Zero-stack Tab and Cutout
Engaging the zero-stack tab and cutout from drive-to-drive makes efficient use
of panel space for installations with multiple drives.
Figure 21 - Zero-stack Tab and Cutout Example
For the zero-stack feature to engage properly (when more than one frame size
exists in the drive system) frame 3 drives must mount left of frame 1 or 2 drives,
and frame 2 drives must mount left of frame 1 drives.
Capacitor modules can mount to the right of any frame size, but are always
rightmost in any drive configuration.
Figure 22 - Shared-bus Connection System Example
IMPORTANT Engaging the zero-stack tab and cutout from drive-to-drive is required for
shared-bus multi-axis drive systems. This is done to make sure the drive
connectors are spaced properly to accept the shared-bus connection
system.

IMPORTANT Mount drives in descending order, left to right, according to frame size
with capacitor modules always mounted on the far right.
