Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5500

Rockwell Automation Publication 2198-UM001M-EN-P - November 2022 65
Chapter 4 Connector Data and Feature Descriptions
Feedback Specifications The Kinetix 5500 drive accepts motor feedback signals from Stegmann
Hiperface digital-servo-link (DSL) encoders on the motor feedback (MF)
connector.
The Kinetix 5500 drives support Kinetix VP motors with Stegmann Hiperface
digital-servo-link (DSL) encoders by using the 2-pin (MF) feedback connector.
You can also use the MF connector for feedback-only applications.
Other Allen-Bradley motors and actuators with Stegmann Hiperface single-
turn or multi-turn high-resolution absolute encoders are also accepted, but
only when using drive firmware revision 2.002 or later, and the 2198-H2DCK
Hiperface-to-DSL (series B or later) feedback converter kit.
Absolute Position Feature
The absolute position feature of the drive tracks the position of the motor,
within the multi-turn retention limits, while the drive is powered off. The
absolute position feature is available with only multi-turn encoders.
Figure 36 - Absolute Position Limits (measured in turns)
Auto configuration in the Logix Designer application of intelligent absolute, high-
resolution encoders is possible with only Allen-Bradley motors.
