Allen Bradley 1398-PDM-30 Used Surplus

The Allen-Bradley 1398-PDM-30 is an ULTRA Plus positioning drive module for use with the ULTRA Plus drives, specifically the F-series, H-series, and N-series motors, and it has a line voltage input of 100 to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz line frequency. Also known as the 9101-2187, this module has a maximum loss in Watts of 150 + the dissipative shunt, a peak shunt power of 4.5 kW, and a continuous shunt power of 50 W, but when using an external shunt resistor (with part number 9101-1078), the continuous shunt power is 200 W, while the peak shunt power is 6000 W. It also has an external peak shunt of 6 kW, as well as an external continuous shunt of 2.4 kW. At 1 Φ, the 1398-PDM-30 controller has a continuous output power of 3 kW, as well as per phase peak output current of 30 A and per phase continuous output current of 15 A.

Note that this drive module has a 3 kVA suggested transformer size and weighs approximately 5 kg or 15 lbs. Users can use this controller at temperatures ranging from 0 to 50 °C (32 to 140 °F), and when storing the 1398-PDM-30 controller, the temperature should be between -40 and 80 °C (or -40 and 176 °F). PDM systems are a two-in-one package, combining the features of a programmable position controller and the features of a high-performance sinusoidal brushless motor velocity controller, and positioning drive modules, like the 1398-PDM-30 controller, are vital to this system. These modules primarily control the motor’s velocity, position, and torque.
