Allen-Bradley 2094-PRS8 AC Drive

The Allen-Bradley 2094-PRS8 is a power rail with 8 inverter slots and 1 converter slot. This 8-axis power rail belongs to the 2094-PRS-x Series of power rails. It weighs 4.43kg (9.7 lb) and is compatible with the Kinetic 6000 drive systems. Thus, the power rail can accommodate one IAM and no more than 7 extra modules and it can only serve the 230V or 460V power systems. The 2094-PRS8 is 3-dimensional and measures 63.25cm (24.9 in) by 55.12cm (21.7 in) by 26.67cm (10.5 in).

When installing the 2094-PRS8 module on a rail, do not power up the drive system because the connector terminals retain voltage which could cause electric shock. Separate the enclosure from the drive system when welding, cutting, drilling, and tapping. These installation processes produce metal debris which could lodge in the circuitry and damage the components. A protective sheath shields the connector pins from foreign objects. In addition, when installing the 2094-PRS8, note the mounting slot dimensions so you can position the power rail properly in the enclosure. A torque of around 45.0lb.in is enough to fasten the bolts. Make sure to mount the bonded cabinet ground onto the braided grounding strap from the ground stud.

The Allen-Bradley 2094-PRS8 is a Kinetix 6000 Power Rail. This power rail operates at 230 Volts AC / 460 Volts DC voltages. It is an essential component of the Kinetix 6000 motion control system as this power rail delivers power from the 2094 Integrated Axis Module (IAM) to the adjacent inverter or Axis Module (AM), shunt module, and slot filler modules. This power rail hosts the connection slots where one (1) IAM module can be installed and up to seven (7) additional modules may be inserted.

The 2094-PRS8 is a slim power rail with dimensions of 231 millimeters or 9.1 inches (H); 632.5 millimeters or 24.9 inches (L) x 25.4 millimeters or 1 inch (D). This power rail supports direct panel mounting via the mounting holes and mounting tables provided to this device. Proper grounding and bonding is necessary to avoid electrical noises. It is recommended to use a subpanel coated with zinc or a paint free steel panel.
