Chapter 2 Replacement Considerations
Kinetix 5100 Servo Drive Configuration Port
Configuration of the Kinetix 5100 is performed over a mini-USB to personal
computer cable (2198-USBC and USB filter 2198-USBF) connected to the drive.
KNX5100C software is used to configure the drive.
Kinetix 300 Servo Drive Control Port
The Kinetix 300 drive can accept commands from controllers over the Ethernet
port, by using a Class 1 Ethernet/IP connection (I/O assembly) or Class 3
connection by using Explicit messaging. Kinetix 300 drives support a star
topology natively or a linear/ring topology using a 1783-ETAP module.
Kinetix 5100 Servo Drive Control Port
The Kinetix 5100 servo drives can accept commands from controllers over the
Ethernet port, by using a Class 1 EtherNet/IP connection (with a pre-defined
Add-On-Profile) or Class 3 connection using Explicit messaging.
All Kinetix 5100 servo drives include two RJ45 ports that support 10/100 Mb
communication speeds. Ethernet topologies including linear, ring, and star.

Programming Software
The Kinetix 300 uses MotionView OnBoard software that is contained within
the drive itself for configuration and programming.
The Kinetix 5100 drive uses KNX5100C software for configuration. Depending
on the drive mode, programming the drive uses KNX5100C, Studio 5000®, or
Connected Components Workbench™ software. For information on using
KNX5100C software, see the Kinetix 5100 Single-axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drives
