Preface
Overview The purpose of this migration guide is to provide you with the essential
information to determine what hardware design changes may be necessary when
migrating from a motion system containing Kinetix® 2000 servo drives to one
containing Kinetix 5500 servo drives.
This migration guide contains these chapters and appendices.
IMPORTANT
Migrating from a motion control system that uses Kinetix 2000 servo drives to a
system that uses Kinetix 5500 servo drives requires a comprehensive design
review of the entire motion control system. There are multiple drive
replacement combinations, multiple configurations for how the drives can be
installed, and how software is applied. In addition there are system wide
changes required because of the communication protocol employed.
As a result, this migration guide is not an all-inclusive document. It does not
describe all the redesign steps that may 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.
You will need to review additional product literature (see Additional Resources
on page 10 ) to understand the technical similarities and differences between
the Kinetix 2000 servo drive and a Kinetix 5500 servo drive, and to help you
determine the proper solution for your migration.
Chapter 1: Servo Drive and System Considerations Describes some of the primary differences and system design
considerations between the drive families.
Chapter 2: Servo Drive and System Comparisons Provides information on drive sizing, dimension comparison,
input wiring / fusing, motor power, cabling, and system layout.
Appendix A: Connectors and Field Connections Provides information on connector locations, and comparisons
for encoder wiring, control wiring, and mains power wiring.
Appendix B: About the Servo Drive System Provides cut-sheet information about both drive families.
Appendix C: Specifications Provides comparisons of the power specifications, cable
lengths, environmental specifications, and certifications.
Appendix D: Interconnect Diagrams Provides interconnect diagrams to assist in comparing power
wiring and drive connections for both drive families.
Appendix E: Communication Configurations Provides communication topologies for Kinetix 5500 servo
drives.
