2198-H2DCK Hiperface-to-DSL Feedback Converter Kit
The 2198-H2DCK Hiperface-to-DSL feedback kit converts 15-pin Hiperface
encoder feedback signals to 2-pin DSL feedback signals on the motor feedback
(MF) connector. The following feedback types are accepted:
• Hiperface high-resolution absolute multi-turn and single-turn encoders
• Feedback-only, master feedback, or load feedback (absolute single-turn/
multi-turn Hiperface)
Use the converter kit for Hiperface auxiliary-encoder feedback in applications
that require dual-loop or load feedback when the 15-pin universal feedback
(UFB) connector is already in use for another compatible feedback type.
In most cases, Encompass partner motors are compatible with the converter
kit. Check with your local Allen-Bradley distributor or Rockwell Automation
sales representative to evaluate compatibility.
Cable Lengths
Verify that the cable lengths that are used in your current Kinetix 6000 drive
system do not exceed the maximum cable lengths for the Kinetix 5700 servo
drives.
• 2090-CPBM7DF power cables and 2090-CFBM7DF feedback cables
support MP-Series motors and actuators and are used with Kinetix 6000
and Kinetix 5700 drive systems
• 2090-CSBM1Dx single cables support Kinetix VP motors and are not
compatible with Kinetix 6000 drives, but are compatible with
Kinetix 5700 drive systems
Motor Power and Feedback Cables
Combined 2090-CPBM7DF power cable lengths for all axes on the same
DC-bus must not exceed 400 m (1312 ft). Drive-to-motor 2090-CFBM7DF
feedback cables up to 90 m (295 ft) can be used, depending on the feedback
type. See the Kinetix Motion Accessories Technical Data, publication KNX-
TD004, for cable specifications.
