Key Features of the Kinetix 7000 Drives

1. Integrated Motion on SERCOS

  • Real-time control with noise-immune fiber-optic SERCOS interface

  • Simplified wiring with fiber rings connecting directly to GuardLogix, CompactLogix, or ControlLogix

  • Supports up to 16 motion axes per module; expandable to 100 axes per controller

  • Reduces command wiring, feedback loops, and installation time

2. Advanced Motor Overload Protection

  • Solid-state, UL-compliant overload protection

  • Monitors motor temperature using built-in thermal memory algorithms

  • Tracks short-term current spikes and cumulative heating

  • Includes thermistor/temperature sensor input and DSL encoder compatibility

  • Benefits include predictive maintenance, reduced downtime, and enhanced safety

3. Safe Torque-Off (STO) Functionality

  • STO is TÜV-certified for EN/ISO 13849-1 PLe and SIL 3 safety compliance

  • Removes torque output for safe stopping or emergency shutdowns

  • Hardware-implemented fail-safe system

  • Activated through dual-channel closed circuit, with response time under 25ms


Supported Motor Types:
