6 Rockwell Automation Publication 2198-RM003B-EN-P - November 2020
Overview
This manual is intended for engineers and technicians that are directly
involved in the installation and wiring of the Kinetix 5100 drives, and
programmers who are directly involved in the operation, field maintenance,
and integration of these drives. You must have previous experience with and a
basic understanding of electrical terminology, programming procedures,
networking and required equipment and software, and safety precautions.
Migrating from a motion control system that uses Ultra3000 drives to a system
that uses Kinetix 5100 drives requires a comprehensive design review of the
motion control system. There are multiple drive replacement combinations,
and multiple configurations for how the drives can be installed and the
software applied. As a result, this migration guide is not an all-inclusive
document. It does not describe all redesign steps that can be required, nor
does it contain the detailed product information necessary to finalize the
redesign. The generalities of the replacement process are covered, and the
decision-making steps likely to be encountered in a typical replacement
scenario are described.
For Kinetix 5100 servo drive module specifications not included in this
publication, see the Kinetix Servo Drives Specifications Technical Data,
publication KNX-TD003

Integrated Architecture
Builder Software
The Integrated Architecture® Builder software can help you plan and configure
a system, and migrate system architectures. For more information, see the
Control Systems Configuration Tools
page.
Motion Analyzer Software
Motion Analyzer software is a comprehensive motion-application sizing tool
that is used for analysis, optimization, selection, and validation of your Kinetix
motion control system. This online tool facilitates the machine design process,
and lets you quickly design and validate new machine concepts without
purchasing or installing physical equipment.
Review the performance capabilities of any replacement drive to be sure that
the replacement drive can of deliver the required level of peak and continuous
current to the motor, and Motion Analyzer can help in the correct drive
selection.
