Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 Kinetix 5700 Capacitor Module

Configured for DC bus energy buffering and bus voltage stabilization in Kinetix 5700 drive systems, the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 (2198-CAPMOD-2240 Capacitor Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution for energy absorption during motor deceleration and peak power demands. Hardware Specifications Parameter Specification Model 2198-CAPMOD-2240 Brand Allen-Bradley Origin USA Weight 4.54 kg (10.01 lbs) Dimensions Compact Kinetix 5700 module width Operating Temp 0 to 50 deg C Power Consumption 24 VDC at 50 mA control input Main Input Voltage 458-747 VDC Main Output Voltage 458-747 VDC Total Capacitance 2240 uF System Compatibility Kinetix 5700 Servo Drive System Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Firmware Compatibility The Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 capacitor module operates within shared-bus Kinetix 5700 drive arrays, providing instantaneous energy storage across a 2240 uF capacitor bank. Onboard control logic monitors internal charge status over 24 VDC control power (50 mA rating) and coordinates with system power supplies to regulate pre-charge sequences. Integrated firmware flash compatibility across connected drive modules ensures uninterrupted diagnostic data exchange and bus overvoltage suppression across deterministic EtherNet/IP motion networks. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How is the 2198-CAPMOD-2240 module electrically connected to adjacent Kinetix 5700 drive modules? A: The module connects directly to adjacent drives using the top-mounted shared DC bus bar and 24 VDC control power bus bar system, forming a continuous power plane without external cabling. Q: What is the discharge time requirement before performing physical maintenance on the 2198-CAPMOD-2240? A: Due to the 2240 uF energy storage capacity, high voltage persists on the internal capacitors after power isolation. Technicians must verify zero VDC across the bus terminals using a calibrated voltmeter after waiting for the system discharge period. Field Installation Guidelines Mount the capacitor module vertically on the enclosure backplane adjacent to the Kinetix 5700 power supply or inverter modules. Engage the zero-stack locking tabs to ensure precise physical alignment between adjacent module frames. Install the shared DC bus bar links across all modules, torquing bus connection screws to manufacturer specifications. Wire the 24 VDC control power connector to maintain internal status logic and diagnostic monitoring. Maintain required vertical ventilation clearances above and below the module frame to ensure adequate convection cooling.
