Chapter 2
Servo Drive and System Comparison
This chapter provides side-by-side examples comparing Kinetix® 6000 and
Kinetix 5700 servo drive families. Use these examples to help in the evaluation
and selection of the correct components in the migration process.
The following factors affect the selection process when replacing servo drives
and the drive system redesign.
•Drive Sizing
•Panel Space
• AC Input Power and Circuit Protection
• System Layouts and Cables
To compare Kinetix 5700 and Kinetix 6000 drive family features, see Compare
Drive Family Features on page 42.
Drive Sizing
Cost is a significant factor when designing a machine, however we know that
there are other factors to consider such as the efficiency of the system, its
expected life, and overall performance. These factors impact your machine and
when properly sized at design, most machines provide a return on investment
in total cost of operation and life expectancy.
With Motion Analyzer, you have access to Rockwell Automation® motors and
drives, and an array of Encompass™ partner products to choose from. The goal
is to make the sizing and selection process easier and to help you build a better
machine.
