About This Publication
This publication contains release notes for Kinetix® 5500 servo drives, firmware
revisions 1.001 and 1.002, when used with the Studio 5000™ Logix Designer
application.
Enhancements
The Kinetix 5500 servo drives and Kinetix VP low-inertia servo motors provide a
cost-effective motion solution that delivers high performance and scalability with
motor windings matched to drive ratings for optimized system sizing.
Enhancing the current midrange architecture portfolio, this motion system is
designed to connect and operate with 1756-ENxTx ControlLogix® EtherNet/IP
modules and the new family of CompactLogix™ 5370 controllers by using the
Studio 5000 environment and supporting the Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
network. With the benefits of this motion system, you can now run motion
applications on a single control platform, using a single network – simplifying the
design, operation, and maintenance of equipment.
These enhancements correspond to Kinetix 5500 drive firmware revisions when
used with the Logix Designer application.

Corrected Anomalies
These corrections correspond to Kinetix 5500 drive firmware revisions when
used with the Logix Designer application.
Table 2 - Corrected Anomalies with Revision 1.002
Cat. No.
Corrected Anomalies
CORRECTED: Current feedback units are incorrect on the Monitor Signals web page.
CORRECTED: Drive reports motor temperature of 0 °C when thermistor wires are broken.
This has been corrected to display 1000 °C when thermistor wires are broken.

2198-H008-ERS
2198-H015-ERS
2198-H025-ERS
2198-H040-ERS
2198-H070-ERS
CORRECTED: Drive incorrectly attempts to decelerate the motor when a Converter Overtemp FL fault (FLT-S18) or Converter Thermal Overload FL fault
(FLT-S20) occurs.
The drive now does an Immediate Stop (coast).
CORRECTED: When using external shunts, the drive limits shunt utilization more than necessary, resulting in Bus Regulator Thermal Overload faults
(FLT S29 or FLT S30).
CORRECTED: Ethernet statistics values are not getting updated on Port Configuration tab in the Logix Designer application.
CORRECTED: When Requested Packet Interval (RPI) is set to a non-integral number, the drive sends packets to the controller at an incorrect rate.
CORRECTED: The drive generates unexpected motion and produces an Excessive Position Error Fault (FLT-S54) when enabled following a Logix Designer
application download.
CORRECTED: ModuleSyncAlarm not clearing in the Logix Designer application.
