The new Allen-Bradley Kinetix 350 single-axis EtherNet/IP servo drive from Rockwell Automation delivers high-performance motion control on EtherNet/IP, the world?s leading industrial Ethernet network.The drive can lower the cost to deploy integrated motion on low-axis machines found in applications such as: indexing tables, process skids, case packers, erectors and packaging.

When used with the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5370 Series of programmable automation controllers and the Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus human-machine interfaces, the Kinetix 350 drive provides a cost-effective entry into the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system. Leveraging a single design environment, the Integrated Architecture system scales from 200-10,000 I/O, giving machine builders the portability to migrate the existing machine designs into new, higher-end machine designs and vice versa.

?By leveraging EtherNet/IP for control and motion, machine builders can help their customers effectively integrate machine-level data with business-level data for improved management and decision-making,? said Paul Sipe, Product Manager, Rockwell Automation.?The Kinetix 350 on EtherNet/IP also helps machine builders reuse code to reduce their design, installation and commissioning time.This leaves more time and funds to focus on innovation that will drive business growth.?
