Preface
Select a Replacement Drive
There are a number of different factors that affect the selection of a
replacement servo drive and the system redesign effort. Drive sizing is the
primary factor in selecting a replacement servo drive. To identify the correct
replacement drive size, consider the drive input voltage and compare the
continuous and peak output current ratings.
Ultra3000 drives can be replaced with a Kinetix 5300 drive of similar, or in
some cases, greater output current capability.
In general, the Kinetix 5300 drives with similar current ratings require a
smaller physical space compared to the Ultra3000 drives.
Factors that affect the redesign effort include these considerations:
•
Drive sizing (ratings and physical)
•
Dimension comparison
•
Drive interconnects and cabling
•
Accessories
Engineering Effort and
Product Liability
Thoroughly review this document before you begin to evaluate the design
changes required to successfully migrate your Ultra3000 servo drive to a
Kinetix 5300 servo drive.
The following sections highlight the differences between Ultra3000 and
Kinetix 5300 servo drives. There can be more differences beyond these that can
impact your application. Read this entire document before proceeding to
qualify the Kinetix 5300 servo drive for your needs.
Migration Options
This document covers the migration of the Ultra3000 Sercos servo drive only,
though it is possible to migrate from the other Ultra3000 servo drive types. For
additional migration options, see Ultra3000 to Kinetix 5100 Servo Drives
