Preface
The purpose of this migration guide is to provide essential information needed
to determine what hardware changes could be necessary when migrating from
a motion system that contains Ultra™ 3000 (with Sercos) servo drives to the
Kinetix® 5300 servo drives.
Migrating a system from an Ultra3000 servo drive to a Kinetix 5300 servo drive
system requires a comprehensive design review of the entire motion control
system. There are system-wide changes that are required because of the
communication protocol being employed.
As a result, this migration guide is not an all-inclusive document. It does not
describe all redesign steps that could 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 must review additional product literature (see
) to understand the technical similarities and differences between the
Ultra3000 servo drive and a Kinetix 5300 servo drive. This can help you
determine the proper solution for your migration.
Pre-migration
Motion Analyzer – is a comprehensive motion-application sizing tool that is
used for analysis, optimization, selection, and validation of your Kinetix
motion control system. This tool facilitates the machine design process, that
lets you quickly design and validate new machine concepts without purchasing
or installing physical equipment.
The performance capabilities of any replacement drive should be reviewed to
be sure that the replacement drive is capable of delivering the required level of
peak and continuous current to the motor and the Motion Analyzer tool can
help with the correct drive selection.
Motion Analyzer is available at
