This publication provides installation instructions for a Kinetix 2000 power rail (PR). Use
these instructions for mounting your power rail to the panel.
The power rail distributes power and control signals to Kinetix 2000 axis modules that power
and control servo motors or other devices producing motion. The power rail provides a
common mounting mechanism for the modules that comprise a Kinetix 2000 motion system
of one to eight axes.
Refer to the Kinetix 2000 Multi-axis Servo Drive User Manual, publication 2093-UM001, for
power up procedures, troubleshooting information, and instructions on integrating a
Kinetix 2000 system with ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and SoftLogix modules or PCI
cards. The user manual provides detailed wiring examples, and information about installing or
removing equipment and accessories not described in this document.

Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment.
Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1
available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://literature.rockwellautomation.com
describes some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.
Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons
responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this
equipment is acceptable.

Power Rail • One braided 100 mm (3.9 in.) ground strap
• This manual, Installation Instructions, publication 2093-IN004.
IMPORTANT
To improve the bond between the power rail and subpanel, construct your
subpanel out of zinc plated (paint-free) steel.
Dimensions
Mounting dimensions for the Kinetix 2000 power rail are shown in the figure and table below.
The Kinetix 2000 power rail comes in several lengths. Power rails will support one integrated
axis module, additional axis modules, and a shunt module (catalog numbers 2093-AC05-MPx,
2093-AMPx, 2093-AM0x, and 2093-ASP06). Additional open slots must have a slot filler
module (2093-PRF) installed to provide continuity for control signals and system power.
Dimension, Approx.
ATTENTION
These procedures assume you have prepared your panel and understand
how to bond your system.
Refer to the Kinetix 2000 Multi-axis Servo Drive User Manual,
publication 2093-UM001, for detailed instructions on how to ground and
bond your power rail.
Follow these steps to mount a Kinetix 2000 power rail.
1. Lay out the position for your power rail in the enclosure.
For panel layout recommendations, refer to the Kinetix 2000 Multi-axis Servo Drive
User Manual, publication 2093-UM001. Mounting hole dimensions are provided in
the figure and table.
2. Attach the power rail to the cabinet.
The recommended mounting hardware is M4 metric bolts.
