Introduction
CtrlTechDaily reports that the Allen-Bradley 2094-BC04-M03-S Kinetix 6000 Integrated Axis Module (IAM) is now available for industrial automation applications. This 400 Volt Class module integrates a converter and inverter section to provide a compact motion control solution. It supports 400/460VAC input power and includes Safe Torque Off functionality for enhanced safety.
The 2094-BC04-M03-S belongs to the Kinetix 6000 drive system series and is manufactured by Rockwell Automation under the Allen-Bradley brand. It is designed to serve as a central power and control unit for multi-axis motion systems. This product news highlights its key features, technical specifications, and typical applications.
Key Features
The 2094-BC04-M03-S features a converter section output of 28 kW and an inverter section output current of 30 A. This combination provides ample power for demanding motion control tasks. The module operates with an AC input voltage range of 324-528 Volts rms 3 Phase (360-480 Volts nominal) and an AC input frequency of 47-63 Hertz.
Safety is a critical feature, with Safe Torque Off functionality integrated into the module. This allows for safe machine stops without removing power from the drive. The module also includes an internal shunt with continuous power of 200 Watts and peak power of 22.5 Kilowatts, with a shunt resistor of 28.75 Ohms.
The 2094-BC04-M03-S achieves an efficiency of 97%, reducing energy losses and heat generation. Its PWM frequency is 4 kHz, and it offers bandwidths of 500 Hz for the velocity loop and 1300 Hz for the current loop. These specifications enable precise and responsive motion control.
Technical Specifications
The 2094-BC04-M03-S operates within an ambient temperature range of 32-122 F (0-50 C). Its power dissipation varies from 94 Watts at 20% loading to 255 Watts at 100% loading. The module weighs 21.1 lbs (9.60 kg) and must be installed at the leftmost position of the power rail.
AC input current is 44.0 Amperes nominal rms, with a maximum inrush current of 31.1 Amperes (0-peak). For common bus follower configurations, the DC input voltage range is 458-747 Volts, and the DC input current is 41.5 Amperes. These parameters ensure compatibility with various power distribution systems.
The module supports both grounded and ungrounded power configurations via ground jumper settings. By default, it is set for grounded operation with P16 and P17 shorted. For ungrounded or high impedance systems, users must short P18 and P19 terminals after removing the module from the power rail.
Applications
The 2094-BC04-M03-S is ideal for packaging machinery, material handling systems, and assembly lines that require precise multi-axis motion control. Its 28 kW converter and 30 A inverter can drive multiple servo motors in coordinated motion profiles. The Safe Torque Off feature makes it suitable for applications requiring frequent safe access or emergency stops.
In material handling, the module powers conveyors, sorters, and robotic pick-and-place units. For packaging, it controls film wrapping, carton erecting, and sealing stations. The high bandwidth velocity and current loops ensure smooth, accurate motion even at high speeds.
The module also supports peak enhancement on 400V-class Series B and C units, providing 250% peak current rating compared to 150% for Series A. This allows for higher torque during acceleration and deceleration phases, improving cycle times in demanding applications.
