• Its converter section delivers 28 kW of output power.
• The inverter section provides 30 A of output current.
• Operating temperature range is 32-122 F (0-50 C).
• Power dissipation varies from 94 to 255 Watts depending on load.
• Velocity loop bandwidth is 500 Hz; current loop bandwidth is 1300 Hz.
• PWM frequency is 4 kHz.
• Internal shunt continuous power is 200 Watts; peak power is 22.5 kW.
• Efficiency reaches 97%.
• Weight is 21.1 lbs (9.60 kg).

A distinctive spec is the internal shunt peak power of 22.5 kW. This allows the module to handle regenerative energy from decelerating motors effectively, reducing the need for external braking resistors.

Installation and Setup

Mount the 2094-BC04-M03-S at the leftmost position of the power rail. Install the IAM first, then add other modules to the right. The module includes a ground jumper for ungrounded or high impedance power configurations. By default, the jumper is set for grounded systems. For ungrounded setups, modify the jumper position by removing the module from the rail and adjusting P18 and P19 terminals. Always follow the manufacturer's manual for safe installation.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regular inspection of the 2094-BC04-M03-S helps ensure long service life. Check for dust accumulation on cooling surfaces and verify that all connections remain tight. The module operates reliably within its 0-50 C temperature range. Its high 97% efficiency reduces heat generation, lowering cooling costs over time. This efficiency contributes to lower total cost of ownership.

Compatibility and Integration

The 2094-BC04-M03-S integrates seamlessly into Kinetix 6000 drive systems. It works with compatible axis modules, shunt modules, and slot filler modules. The module is designed for 400V-class AC input power systems. It supports common bus follower configurations with DC input voltage from 458-747 Volts. For detailed integration guidelines, refer to the official Allen-Bradley documentation.
