The Allen-Bradley 2094-BM01-S is a multi-axis servo drive module designed for high-precision motion control in industrial automation. Used extensively in industries such as automotive manufacturing, packaging, semiconductor production, and robotics, this module plays a key role in driving accurate and responsive motion applications.

In demanding factory environments, machine builders and system integrators rely on the 1794-BM01-S for streamlined multi-axis control that supports complex motion profiles and synchronization. Its compact form factor facilitates installations in space-constrained control cabinets and is well-suited to applications requiring seamless integration with Rockwell Automation’s Logix control platforms. The module supports rapid, closed-loop servo control necessary to meet stringent process timing and position requirements. Its rugged design and proven performance aid in reducing maintenance, enhancing overall plant uptime.

The Allen-Bradley 2094-BM01-S is an integrated axis module within the Kinetix 6000 family, converting power and feedback signals into precise motor motion control. Compatible with 400 V class industrial servo systems, it supports continuous current ratings up to 6.1 amps RMS and peak currents up to 9.2 amps, providing a nominal output power of approximately 3.9 kW (around 5.25 HP). The module enhances industrial performance by delivering efficient power conversion, advanced digital control, and real-time monitoring within multi-axis applications.

Engineers benefit from its native integration with Logix platforms, enabling streamlined programming and diagnostics via Studio 5000 Logix Designer. The drive features patented motor short-circuit protection, advanced filtering, and thermal management systems that optimize reliability and safety. Its firmware supports various feedback devices, including absolute and incremental encoders, facilitating flexible deployment across diverse motion control applications.

The 2094-BM01-S boasts hardware designed for robust industrial performance. Its compact double-wide footprint fits standard Kinetix 6000 power rails, reducing panel space while supporting scalable machine designs. The module operates with PWM switching frequencies of 4 kHz and delivers high current loop bandwidth (up to 1.3 kHz) for responsive torque control and smooth motor gear transitions.

Thermal efficiency is maintained through integrated heat dissipation systems, accommodating ambient operating temperatures commonly encountered in factory floor conditions (0 to 55°C). Onboard diagnostics, including fault indicators and communication status LEDs, provide fast troubleshooting capabilities that help reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
