When a Kinetix 5700 axis stops and shows a code on its LCD, the code tells you which part of the system tripped: one axis, a whole module, the network connection, or a safety function. This guide covers the fault families shown on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5700 (Bulletin 2198) modules. It lists common codes with meanings and corrective actions taken from the fault-code spreadsheet 2198-RD003 and the user manual 2198-UM002, and it identifies the codes that point to hardware needing bench work. Flexa Systems is an independent supplier of new and refurbished automation parts and offers Kinetix 5700 repair service at component level, so the final sections cover repair and replacement options.
How a Kinetix 5700 System Is Built, and Why One Fault Can Stop the Whole Bus Group
A Kinetix 5700 system is not a set of standalone drives. The modules are zero-stacked side by side and use a shared-bus connection system that carries power from one module to the next. Motion control runs over Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network from a ControlLogix, GuardLogix, CompactLogix, or Compact GuardLogix controller. Allen-Bradley designed the platform for machines with high axis counts and high power requirements. To troubleshoot it well, you need to know how each module family fits into the system.
- DC-bus power supply (2198-Pxxx). This module converts 200V-class or 400V-class three-phase AC into 276…747V of shared DC-bus power. Output current ranges from 10.5 to 69.2 A across the family. Most systems use one supply. Two or three 2198-P208 supplies can run in parallel.
- Regenerative bus supply (2198-RPxxx). This module has a 400V-class three-phase AC input and covers applications from 24…140 kW and 35…207 A of output current. It has no internal shunt resistor.
- Inverters. Single-axis 2198-Sxxx-ERS3 / -ERS4 modules are rated up to 192 A rms. Dual-axis 2198-Dxxx-ERS3 / -ERS4 modules are rated up to 23 A rms. Inverters take their DC input from the shared bus and have no AC input of their own.
- Accessory modules. The 2198-CAPMOD-2240 capacitor module (2240 µF) adds energy storage and an external active-shunt connection, and it can extend DC-bus voltage to another inverter cluster. The 2198-CAPMOD-DCBUS-IO extension module and the 2198-DCBUSCOND-RP312 DC-bus conditioner module also extend the bus. The conditioner module also reduces voltage stress on insulation components. Each accessory module handles up to 104 A, or up to 208 A when paralleled with the correct connector kit.
- 24V control power. A Bulletin 1606 24V DC supply feeds control circuitry, digital inputs, safety, and motor brakes. Optional shared-bus connector kits carry the 24V wiring across modules. Each drive module ships with DC-bus links and end caps.
This architecture explains why a single fault often stops more than one axis:
- Every inverter in the bus group draws its energy from the same DC bus. Faults such as AC phase loss, precharge failure, or bus undervoltage on the power supply remove that energy from all inverters together.
- The spreadsheet defines FLT S40 – BUS POWER SHARING FAULT as a power supply or regenerative supply asking a module to stop consuming DC-bus power. An inverter showing S40 is usually reporting a problem that started on the supply.
- Some converter faults are cumulative. The corrective action for converter overcurrent includes reducing acceleration times on all drives that share the DC bus.
- NODE FLT codes are module-wide and affect all axes. On a dual-axis inverter, a single NODE FLT stops both axes.
- When 24V control power is distributed across modules with shared-bus connector kits, a problem on that circuit can affect several modules.
In practice, when several axes fault together, check the power supply display and fault log before you start swapping inverters.
Reading the Display: Fault Families, FL vs UL, and the 128-Entry Fault Log
Each module has an LCD display. Go to MAIN MENU > FAULT LOG to see active fault codes and details. The "?" fault help screen shows possible solutions. The user manual does not include the full fault descriptions and solutions. Those are in the 2198-RD003 spreadsheet. SAFE FLT codes for -ERS4 drives are documented in the safety reference manual 2198-RM001.
The prefix on the display identifies the fault family:
- FLT Sxx: standard runtime axis exceptions, such as overloads, overcurrents, bus voltage, and feedback.
- FLT Mxx: manufacturer-specific runtime exceptions.
- INIT FLT Sxx / Mxx: exceptions detected during initialization.
- NODE FLT xx: module-wide faults that affect all axes on the module.
- NODE ALARM xx: conditions that are reported only and do not fault the module.
- INHIBIT Sxx / Mxx: a condition that prevents the drive from being enabled.
- ALARM Sxx / Mxx: alarm conditions at the axis level.
- SAFE FLT xx: faults in the safety function.
The suffix also matters. FL means a factory-set limit was exceeded, as in FLT S07 – MTR OVERLOAD FL. UL means a user-set limit was exceeded, as in FLT S08 – MTR OVERLOAD UL. A UL fault may only mean that a configured limit is set tighter than the application needs. An FL fault means the hardware reached the limit the factory designed it to protect.
The DC-bus power supply, regenerative bus supply, and single-axis and dual-axis inverters each store the last 128 faults, time-stamped, in persistent memory. You cannot clear this log on the module. That makes it useful when a machine has been "fixed" by repeated resets. The timestamps show whether a bus undervoltage came before an inverter overcurrent, and whether the same code keeps returning on one module. In Logix Designer, the axis object reports Fault Code (attribute 661) and Fault Type (attribute 662). If you also maintain older drives, our Kinetix 300 fault codes guide covers that platform separately.
Module Status and Network Status Indicators
The status indicators give a fast first read before you scroll through the LCD. Manual 2198-UM002 states that status indicators are not reliable for safety functions. Never use an indicator to confirm that STO is active or that a machine is safe to enter.
| Indicator | State | Meaning (2198-UM002) |
|---|---|---|
| Module Status | Steady Off | No power |
| Module Status | Steady Green | Operational, no faults |
| Module Status | Flashing Green | Standby (not configured) or precharge (configured) |
| Module Status | Flashing Red | Major recoverable fault, for example incorrect or inconsistent configuration |
| Module Status | Steady Red | Major non-recoverable fault |
| Module Status | Flashing Green/Red | Self-test. Continues if waiting for safety configuration (Integrated STO mode) or safety inputs (Hardwired STO mode) |
| Network Status | Steady Off | No power, or IP address not configured |
| Network Status | Flashing Green | IP address obtained, but no Motion or Safety connection |
| Network Status | Steady Green | Motion or Safety connection established, normal operation |
| Network Status | Flashing Red | Connection timeout |
| Network Status | Steady Red | Duplicate IP address |
| Network Status | Flashing Green/Red | Self-test, or processing a safety device ID proposal |
| Link/Activity | Off / On / Blinking | No link / link established / network activity |
On the 2198-CAPMOD-2240 capacitor module, a steady red Module Status with 24V present means the internal fuse is open. The manual's steps are to cycle control and bus power, verify the AC input, and replace the module if the fault persists. The DC-bus status indicator on that module turns green when the DC bus is above 50V DC.
Drive firmware 12.001 changed the default network setting from Static IP to DHCP. A replacement module on newer firmware may therefore come up without the address your controller expects. This is worth checking when Network Status stays off or flashing green after a swap.
Kinetix 5700 Fault Codes with Meaning and Action
The codes below are reproduced as printed in 2198-RD003. Descriptions and actions are shortened without changing their meaning. Codes and meanings can vary by model, firmware, and catalog number, so confirm against the drive's own manual. The spreadsheet's latest change entry covers firmware 14.001 or later.

Faults That Mean the Module Itself Needs Repair
Most codes in 2198-RD003 point outward to the AC supply, cabling, tuning, motor, or network. A smaller group points inside the module. These are the codes where the manufacturer's corrective action ends with returning or replacing the hardware:
- FLT S38 – FUSE BLOWN nn=00: the internal DC-bus fuse is not user-replaceable. A blown fuse usually has a cause upstream of it, so the power stage needs inspection, not only the fuse.
- FLT S31 – BUS REG FAILURE: if the shunt resistor measures shorted with the connector unplugged, the manual says to replace the power supply.
- FLT S25 – CONV PRECHARGE FAILURE: when AC input, wiring, ground shorts, and total bus capacitance all check out, the precharge circuit in the supply or drive module is suspect.
- FLT M26 – RUNTIME ERROR, FLT M28 – SAFETY COMM, INIT FLT M21 – FACTORY CONFIG, and NODE FLT 03 – HARDWARE 00: faults in the drive firmware, factory configuration, safety hardware, or power-board communication that the spreadsheet says to return if they continue after power cycling, reset, or a firmware update.
- SAFE FLT 09 - SS IN and SAFE FLT S03 - SAFE TORQUE OFF: when wiring, input states, and configuration are verified and the fault persists, the manual calls for returning the drive.
- FLT S10 – INV OVERCURRENT and FLT S16 – GROUND CURRENT FL: these are often caused by cables or motors. If the motor and cable test good and the fault persists, the inverter output stage becomes the prime suspect.
A practical isolation step for S10 and S16 is to lock out the system and confirm the DC bus is fully discharged before touching the power connections. Then disconnect the motor power cable at the drive and megger the cable and motor separately. Reset and command the axis with the motor disconnected only if your procedure allows it. A fault that returns immediately with the motor removed points inside the drive. Do the same on the dual-axis neighbor if it shares the symptom. Note that INIT FLT M03 – MTR ENC STARTUP calls for returning the motor, not the drive, if it persists. Not every "return for repair" code means the inverter is at fault.
Repeated resets do not fix any of these conditions, and every reset adds another line to the 128-entry log. When the evidence points inside the module, send it for component-level servo drive repair or swap in a tested unit.
Ratings of Common 2198 Modules and ERS3 vs ERS4 Safety
The tables below use ratings published in KNX-TD003. They cover five dual-axis inverters and the two smaller DC-bus power supplies. Flexa has the 2198-D006-ERS3 in stock new and refurbished, and the 2198-D020-ERS3 dual-axis servo inverter new, refurbished, or as a repair. The 2198-D012-ERS3 dual-axis inverter is available refurbished or repaired. Larger modules are handled as repairs: see 2198-D032-ERS3 repair and the 2198-D057-ERS3 inverter repair page. ERS3 and ERS4 versions share the same power ratings.

All Kinetix 5700 inverters have a maximum velocity loop bandwidth of 400 Hz, a current loop bandwidth of 1000 Hz, and a PWM frequency of 4 kHz. Actual bandwidth varies with tuning and mechanics. For power supplies, the 2198-P031 DC-bus power supply is available refurbished or as a repair. The 2198-P070 power supply is a repair-only item at Flexa.
| Attribute | 2198-P031 | 2198-P070 |
|---|---|---|
| AC input voltage | 195…528V rms, three-phase (240/480V nom) | 195…528V rms, three-phase (240/480V nom) |

All modules are limited to one power cycle per minute. Keep this in mind when an operator power-cycles a faulted cabinet repeatedly.
ERS3 vs ERS4 in plain terms. Every Kinetix 5700 inverter has safe torque-off with both a hardwired option and an integrated option over EtherNet/IP. STO removal gives Stop Category 0 behavior. Both modes and the SS1 stopping functions are rated PL e per ISO 13849-1 and SIL CL 3 per IEC 61508, IEC 61800-5-2, and IEC 62061, with Category 3 listed in the agency data. TÜV Rheinland approved the inverters for these levels. Hardwired STO uses parallel input terminals that can cascade to adjacent drives. If you do not use the safety function, jumpers must bypass STO. Integrated STO requires at least a GuardLogix 5570 or Compact GuardLogix 5370.
- -ERS3 provides hardwired and integrated STO. Series B or later adds drive-based Timed SS1 and STO with configurable delay.
- -ERS4 has the same power structure and feedback support. It adds Monitored SS1 and Timed SS1, plus controller-based SS2, SOS, SLS, SLP, SDI, and SFX over EtherNet/IP. These functions require a GuardLogix 5580 or Compact GuardLogix 5380.
Because ERS4 modules need Logix Designer 31.00 or later with firmware 9.001 or later, do not treat ERS3 and ERS4 as drop-in interchangeable without checking the safety program and software version.
Repair, Refurbished or New: Getting a Kinetix 5700 Line Running Again
Once you confirm the fault is inside a module, the decision depends on downtime cost, spares on hand, and what is available. Three paths are open:
- Component-level repair. Flexa diagnoses and repairs Kinetix 5700 inverters and power supplies at board level, then tests them before return. This is the only route Flexa offers for the 2198-D032-ERS3, 2198-D057-ERS3, and 2198-P070. Repairing also returns your own unit, which keeps catalog number, series, and firmware consistent with your machine. For details, see the Allen-Bradley repair program.
- Refurbished replacement. Refurbished stock is available for the 2198-D006-ERS3, 2198-D012-ERS3, 2198-D020-ERS3, and 2198-P031. Swapping in a refurbished unit gets the line running while your failed module is repaired and becomes a shelf spare.
- New replacement. New units are available for the 2198-D006-ERS3 and 2198-D020-ERS3. Other 2198 catalog numbers, including single-axis inverters and regenerative supplies, are quoted on request. Browse current servo drives in stock or request a quote for anything not listed.
Repairs and refurbished units from Flexa carry a 2-year warranty. Coverage is described on our warranty terms page. When a line is down and a spare is not available, ask about rush repair service. For a broader framework on cost, age, and risk, read our guide on when to fix or replace a servo drive. If the same plant also runs Kinetix 5500 drives, keep in mind that those are AC-input drives with a built-in converter and internal shunt. Their spares are not interchangeable with Kinetix 5700 DC-input inverters.
When you send a module in, include the codes from the LCD fault log, the catalog number and series, and a short note on what the machine was doing when it tripped. That information helps the bench reproduce the failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FLT S and FLT M codes on a Kinetix 5700?
FLT Sxx codes are standard runtime axis exceptions, such as overloads, overcurrents, bus voltage, and feedback faults. FLT Mxx codes are manufacturer-specific runtime exceptions, such as FLT M02 – MOTOR VOLTAGE or FLT M26 – RUNTIME ERROR. Both appear in MAIN MENU > FAULT LOG on the LCD. The full descriptions and solutions are in spreadsheet 2198-RD003, not in the user manual.
Why does a NODE FLT stop every axis on the module?
NODE FLT codes are module-wide faults that affect all axes. On a dual-axis inverter, both axes stop together. Typical causes are network problems, such as NODE FLT 01 – LATE CTRL UPDATE, NODE FLT 06 – LOST CTRL CONN, and NODE FLT 09 – DUPLICATE IP ADDRESS. NODE FLT 03 – HARDWARE 00 means the drive could not communicate with its power board.
How do I clear SAFE FLT 09 - SS IN on a hardwired STO drive?
This fault means the two safety inputs disagreed for more than 1.0 second or re-triggered faster than 1.0 second. Verify the STO connector terminations, cable and header seating, and +24V supply. Then check the input states, reset the error, and run a proof test. If the fault persists after wiring is confirmed, 2198-RD003 says to return the drive.
Can I clear the fault log on a Kinetix 5700 module?
No. Power supplies, regenerative bus supplies, and single-axis and dual-axis inverters keep the last 128 faults, time-stamped, in persistent memory, and the log cannot be cleared on the module. This history is useful for troubleshooting, because it shows which fault came first and whether the same code keeps returning on one module.
Should I repair a failed Kinetix 5700 module or buy a replacement?
Both are valid options. Flexa repairs Kinetix 5700 inverters and power supplies at component level and stocks new or refurbished 2198-D006-ERS3, 2198-D020-ERS3, refurbished 2198-D012-ERS3 and 2198-P031 units. Repairs and refurbished units carry a 2-year warranty. Other catalog numbers are quoted on request. Call Flexa Systems at (254) 254-0005 to discuss your fault codes and options.
