Kinetix 6000 Multi-axis Servo Drives Core Advantage

The design goal of Kinetix 6000 is to enhance system performance while saving time and cost. Its core advantages are mainly reflected in：

  • Modular and compact design: The driver module is small in size and supports power baseboards with multiple axis numbers. Installation and connection are carried out using a single power rail, replacing complex power and logic control wiring, significantly reducing the number of wires, time and related costs.
  • Outstanding performance and control accuracy: The high-speed loop bandwidth and current loop bandwidth can provide higher precision, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the system in high dynamic response scenarios.
  • Advanced integration and communication: Seamless integration with the ControlLogix platform via the SERCOS interface (a high-performance motion control bus protocol). Users can handle sequential logic and motion control logic simultaneously in the Studio 5000 development environment, which simplifies the process of programming and diagnosis.
  • Convenient installation and maintenance: All connectors can be removed and support top or front insertion. There are three LED lights and a 7-segment code display on the driver, which can provide information on the shaft and fault status for easy diagnosis.

How to choose the Kinetix 6000 multi-axis servo drive model that suits your application scenario?

When choosing the Kinetix 6000 multi-axis servo drive model that suits your application scenario, the following aspects need to be comprehensively considered:

1.Power demand: Determine the motor power: First, it is necessary to clearly define the power size of the motor being driven. The power output range of different models of Kinetix 6000 drives varies. For instance, the continuous power output of 2094-BM01-S is 3.9kW, while that of 2094-BM02-S is 6.6kW. It is necessary to ensure that the power of the selected driver can meet the operating requirements of the motor. Generally, the rated power of the driver should be slightly greater than that of the motor.

2. Control mode and performance requirements:

Control mode: Select the appropriate control mode based on the requirements of the application scenario, such as position control, speed control or torque control, etc. The Kinetix 6000 supports multiple control modes. If it is used for precision processing, it may have higher requirements for position control accuracy. If it is used in scenarios such as conveyor lines, the speed control mode might be more suitable.

Precision requirements: For applications with high-precision requirements, such as precision placement equipment, it is necessary to select a driver model that supports high-resolution feedback devices, such as the driver with the encoder interface module 2094-EN02D-M01-S0, which supports protocols like EnDat 2.1/2.2 and can provide an absolute value resolution of up to 24 bits or more.

Dynamic response: If the application scenario requires rapid acceleration and deceleration, such as the control of conveyors in packaging machinery, it is necessary to select a driver model with high dynamic response performance. Some models can generate a torque of up to 250% of the continuous rated current, which can meet the requirements of rapid movement.

3. Communication requirements:

Communication protocol: Consider the communication protocols of other devices in the system. The Kinetix 6000 drive supports multiple communication protocols, such as EtherNet/IP, CIP Motion, PROFIBUS DP, etc. If the system is based on Rockwell Automation’s Logix platform, the EtherNet/IP protocol can achieve seamless integration. If communication with third-party devices is required, the choice should be made based on the protocol supported by the specific device.

Communication speed: For applications with large data transmission volumes and high real-time requirements, such as multi-axis synchronous control scenarios, it is necessary to select a drive model with a fast communication speed. This series of drives features an independent configurable IP address and two Ethernet ports with adjustable speeds up to 1Gb, which can meet the demands of high-speed communication.

4. Safety function:

Safety standards: Select drivers with corresponding safety functions based on the safety requirements of the application scenarios. Some models of Kinetix 6000 integrate the Safe Torque Off (STO) function and comply with ISO 13849-1 PLe/SIL3 standards, such as 2094-BM01-S, etc. If the application scenario has a high requirement for security levels, it is necessary to choose such models with security certifications.

Safety function types: In addition to the STO function, some models also have functions such as safety speed monitoring and safety position monitoring. For example, 2094-BC07-M05 has functions such as zero-speed monitoring, safe parking, maximum speed, and direction monitoring. You can choose according to your actual needs.

5. Module type and system scalability:

Module type: If an independent inverter module is required, an inverter unit module (AM) such as 2094-BM02-S can be selected, which needs to be used in conjunction with an integrated shaft module (IAM). If a higher degree of drive integration is desired, an integrated shaft module (IAM) such as 2094-AC05-MP5 can be selected, which includes the inverter and converter sections.

Axis expansion: Select the driver model based on the number of axes required by the application scenario. The Kinetix 6000 power card rail can accommodate 1 to 8 axes. For instance, the 2094-PRS8 can hold 1 IAM module and up to 7 additional modules, supporting an 8-axis system. If the application scenario requires a larger number of axes, a model with the corresponding expandable number of axes should be selected.

6. Installation space and size requirements:

Space limitation: If the installation space is limited, such as in some small equipment or compact production lines, a compact model can be selected. For instance, 2094-BM02 is a single-width model and saves more space compared to some other models.
