Replacement Considerations
Replacing a Kinetix® 350 drive with a Kinetix 5300 drive can require some
system design changes:
•
Review the hardware and software design of the existing Kinetix 350
system.
•
Compare these designs to the hardware and software specifications for
the Kinetix 5300 drives.
This publication highlights the major differences between the Kinetix 350
servo drives and the Kinetix 5300 servo drives. Additional differences can also
impact your application. Review this publication to evaluate your needs.
Design considerations:
•
Upload and save any network files and programmable logic controller
(PLC) programs that you can use for the new system.
•
See the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference
Manual, publication
and Servo Drive Installation Best
Practices Application Technique, publication
information on the concept of high-frequency (HF) bonding, the
Ground Plane principle, and electrical noise reduction.
•
Verify that your current motor is compatible.
•
Verify that the drive size is compatible.
•
Verify that the drive dimensions are compatible with your available
installation space.
•
Verify that the drive connections and connector wires are all labeled
prior to disconnecting the old connectors.
