Selection Guidelines: Calculate total continuous current required by all connected axis modules (sum of RMS currents). Verify that peak current during simultaneous acceleration does not exceed 150% of continuous rating for more than 2 seconds. For applications with frequent regenerative braking (duty cycle >20%), confirm that AC supply can sink regenerated power or size external brake resistor accordingly. In ambient temperatures exceeding 40°C, apply 20% derating factor or provide forced ventilation to maintain enclosure temperature below 40°C.
Network Connectivity & Diagnostics
DeviceNet and ControlNet interfaces provide real-time access to operational parameters including DC bus voltage (0.1V resolution), input current per phase, power module temperature, and fault history logs. Electronic data sheet (EDS) files enable automatic configuration in RSLogix 5000 programming environment, reducing commissioning time and eliminating manual parameter entry errors.
Coordinated Motion Control
When paired with 1394 axis modules and ControlLogix or CompactLogix PLCs, the power module enables advanced motion functions including electronic gearing, camming, and coordinated path control. Common DC bus architecture allows dynamic power sharing between axes—energy from decelerating axes can directly power accelerating axes without round-trip conversion losses.
Safety Integration Options
Optional Safe Torque Off (STO) input provides SIL 2 / PLd safety function per IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1 standards. When STO circuit is opened, the power module immediately removes DC bus voltage to all connected axis modules, achieving safe state within 20 milliseconds.

Q: How do I connect multiple axis modules to this power supply unit?
A: Connect the DC bus output terminals (+ and -) from the 1394-SJT05-C-RL to the corresponding DC bus input terminals on each axis module using shielded cable rated for 750V DC. Maximum total cable length is 10 meters. Use star topology (home-run from power module to each axis) rather than daisy-chain to minimize voltage drop. Torque all DC bus terminals to 10 N⋅m and verify polarity before applying power.
Q: What total servo motor capacity can this 5 kW module support?
A: The module supports up to 5 kW continuous combined motor power across all connected axes. For example, you could power four 1.25 kW motors, two 2.5 kW motors, or one 3 kW motor plus two 1 kW motors. Peak power capability of 7.5 kW for 2 seconds accommodates simultaneous acceleration transients. Calculate RMS power based on actual duty cycle—applications with high peak-to-average ratios may support higher installed motor capacity.
Q: Does regenerative braking reduce my facility energy consumption?
A: Yes, significantly in cyclic applications. The active front-end returns braking energy to the AC supply rather than dissipating it as heat in brake resistors. Typical energy savings range from 15-25% in packaging machinery with frequent start-stop cycles, up to 40% in vertical material handling applications (cranes, elevators) where gravitational potential energy is recovered during load lowering. Actual savings depend on duty cycle, inertia ratios, and deceleration rates.
Q: What installation clearances are required for proper cooling?
A: Provide minimum 100 mm (4 inches) clearance above and below the module for unrestricted airflow through the internal fan. Side clearances of 50 mm (2 inches) allow heat dissipation from the enclosure. Mount vertically with fan intake at bottom and exhaust at top. In enclosed panels, ensure adequate ventilation—the module dissipates approximately 250W at full load. Panel temperature should not exceed 40°C; install ventilation fans or air conditioning if necessary.
Q: Can I use this power module with non-Allen-Bradley axis drives?
A: The 1394-SJT05-C-RL is specifically designed for Allen-Bradley 1394 series axis modules and is not compatible with third-party drives. The module provides a regulated 650V DC bus with specific control signaling and diagnostic protocols proprietary to the 1394 architecture. For multi-vendor systems, use individual AC-input servo drives rather than shared DC bus topology.
Q: How do I monitor power module status during operation?
A: The front panel provides three LED indicators: Power OK (green) confirms AC input and control power, DC Bus Charged (amber) indicates DC bus voltage within operating range, and Fault (red) signals any fault condition. For detailed diagnostics, connect via DeviceNet or ControlNet to access real-time data including DC bus voltage, input current per phase, temperature, and fault code history. RSLogix 5000 provides graphical status displays and trending capabilities.
