In short
How to replace Kinetix 2000, 6000, 300, 350, 5500, 5700 and 6500 servo drives — frame compatibility, feedback wiring, parameter transfer.
When to replace a Kinetix servo drive
Replace when you see persistent F-faults that survive a power cycle, IGBT shorts, blown bus capacitors, or feedback loss after cable swap.
Drop-in compatible frames
- Kinetix 2000 → Kinetix 5500
- Kinetix 6000 → Kinetix 5700 (multi-axis drop-in for most 2094-Bx frames)
- Kinetix 300/350 → Kinetix 5300/5500
Steps
- Record motor catalog, feedback type, bus voltage.
- Match frame size (current + voltage class).
- Export parameters via DriveTools / Studio 5000.
- Re-wire feedback and STO — 2094 vs 2198 pinouts differ.
- Auto-tune at low gain, then commission at load.
