Chapter 2 Install the Kinetix 7000 Drive System
Enclosure Selection
To assist you in sizing an enclosure, the following example is provided. The
example system consists of the following components.
• 2-axis Kinetix 7000 servo drive system
• ControlLogix chassis and modules
Size the Kinetix 7000 servo drive using Motion Analyzer software, version 4.2 or
later, and use the results to predict the amount of heat dissipated into the
enclosure. You will also need heat dissipation data from other equipment inside
the enclosure (such as ControlLogix). Once the total amount of heat dissipation
(in watts) is known, the minimum enclosure size can be calculated. It is
recommended that you also contact the enclosure manufacturer for the best
enclosure fit, including possible cooling methods to help reduce enclosure size.
Using Motion Analyzer to Determine Heat Dissipation
To obtain Motion Analyzer software, go to:

Software
Complete the Motion Analyzer Axis View data to find an acceptable Kinetix
7000 drive and motor solution to meet the application needs. In the Axis View
Solutions window find the Drive Capacity value. In this example, the
2099-BM11-S Drive Capacity characteristic can be used for the estimation of the
Rated Power Output used for the percentage of watts dissipated.
