FAQ

1. What is the main function of the Allen Bradley 2093-AMP2?
The 2093-AMP2 is an Axis Module for the Kinetix 2000 multi-axis servo drive system. It receives DC bus power from the Kinetix 2000 power rail and provides controlled three-phase output power to a compatible servo motor. It is designed to add an individual servo axis to a multi-axis motion-control system.

2. What is the continuous output power of the 2093-AMP2?
The 2093-AMP2 provides 0.6 kW continuous output power. Its continuous output current is 2.0 A RMS, with a continuous current rating of approximately 2.83 A 0-pk. These ratings should be considered together with the motor’s continuous and peak current requirements when selecting the module.

3. What are the peak current capabilities of the 2093-AMP2?
The module supports a peak output current of 6.0 A RMS, equivalent to approximately 8.48 A 0-pk. The peak output current can be available for up to 3 seconds, depending on drive utilization and thermal conditions. The peak rating should not be treated as a continuous operating current.

4. What DC bus voltage does the 2093-AMP2 use?
The nominal input voltage to the inverter section is 325 V DC. The module receives this DC bus voltage through the Kinetix 2000 power rail rather than using a conventional standalone AC input connection. The DC bus is generated and managed by the appropriate Kinetix 2000 power architecture.

5. How is the 2093-AMP2 installed in a Kinetix 2000 system?
The 2093-AMP2 is installed on a Kinetix 2000 Power Rail. It occupies one single-wide axis-module position and can be combined with other compatible Axis Modules to build a multi-axis servo system. Correct power-rail engagement, grounding, motor wiring, feedback connections, and required clearances should be verified before energizing the system.

6. What is the PWM frequency of the 2093-AMP2?
The 2093-AMP2 uses an 8 kHz PWM frequency for inverter switching. PWM controls the motor voltage and current by rapidly switching the inverter power devices. The switching frequency is an important parameter in servo drive operation because it affects motor current regulation, acoustic characteristics, and power-device losses.

7. What should I check if a motor connected to the 2093-AMP2 does not run?
Start by checking the Kinetix 2000 power rail connection and DC bus condition. Then verify the motor power cable, feedback cable, motor configuration, axis enable status, and control-system communication. Also check for overcurrent, undervoltage, feedback, or configuration faults. If the drive reports a specific fault code, use that code to narrow the diagnosis before replacing the Axis Module.

8. Is the 2093-AMP2 still available as a new Allen Bradley product?
The 2093-AMP2 is a discontinued Kinetix 2000 Axis Module. Rockwell Automation lists December 31, 2022 as the discontinuation date and identifies an engineering replacement category. When replacing an existing module, the complete motion system should be evaluated because a replacement may involve changes to the drive architecture, wiring, control configuration, or commissioning procedure.
