The Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5100 servo drive, Kinetix TLP motor and cable can function as a system without a controller. The drive has multiple control modes to support a range of high-speed, low-power motion control applications. It can be used with a Micro800 controller, a Logix controller or even by itself. Using the servo drive, OEMs can create a motorized, or automated, system that can help speed up changeovers. With built-in safe torque off, users can remove motor torque without removing power from an entire machine, allowing a machine to restart faster after it has reached a safe state. Dual-port EtherNet/IP also supports device-level ring topologies.
