Allen-Bradley / Rockwell 2098-DSD-030X

Discontinued

Analysis reviewed: September 12, 2026

What should replace this part?

The verified replacement is 2198-E1020-ERS (Kinetix 5100 Functional Replacement). This is a migration, not a drop-in swap.

Migrate the axis to the Kinetix 5100 2198-E1020-ERS — indexing gives way to EtherNet/IP motion

Your options

2198-E1020-ERS — the manufacturer-named Kinetix 5100 replacement
The standalone Kinetix 5100 drive for the 3kW class, with rating and dimension comparisons against the 030X in the migration guide. Works with Micro800 and Logix controllers over EtherNet/IP.
2198-C1020-ERS (Kinetix 5300) for integrated motion
The migration guide maps the same 030X base to the Kinetix 5300 for machines programmed entirely in the Logix controller. Pick it when the axis belongs to an integrated-motion architecture, not a standalone one.
Repair the Ultra 3000 drive
Rockwell flags the 030X repairable, so a failed unit can be rebuilt while the Kinetix migration is engineered. Price the repair against the remaining life of the axis.

What will need to change?

HardwareThe footprint changes substantially: the 030X frame gives way to the smaller E1020-ERS frame per the migration dimension tables. Check panel space, mounting, and cooling before ordering.
PowerThe 15A/30A indexing drive class maps to the E1020-ERS output ratings at 88-265V single-phase supply. Re-check supply phasing and protective devices against the Kinetix ratings.
CommunicationsIndexing and Sercos-era control give way to EtherNet/IP. Treat the motor and feedback cables as part of the decision and size the replacement by drive-motor combination from the tables.
SoftwareUltraWARE setup moves to Studio 5000 motion configuration. Rebuild homing, indexing sequences, and fault handling in the new environment rather than copying parameters across.

For anything not listed here, check the replacement manual against your existing configuration.

Technical evidence

The recommendation above is based on the sources listed here. OEM source means the manufacturer published it; third-party source means a distributor, repair company or reseller states it. Confidence reflects how directly those sources support the recommendation: High — directly supported by manufacturer documentation. Medium — supported by family-level, secondary, or otherwise less-direct evidence. Low — limited or indirect evidence; verify independently before ordering.

OEM / manufacturer sources

OEM source Confidence: High Rockwell Automation (product page)
Rockwell's product page discontinues the Ultra 3000 3kW indexing drive on December 31, 2022, names the 2198-E1020-ERS as its Functional Replacement, and flags it repairable.

OEM source Confidence: Medium Rockwell Automation (migration guide 2198-RM003) · 2020-11
The Kinetix 5100 migration table maps the 030X power class to the 2198-E1020-ERS with output-current and dimension comparisons.

OEM source Confidence: Medium Rockwell Automation (migration guide 2198-RM006) · 2020-12

The Ultra 3000 family page declares the line discontinued and points migration at Kinetix 5100, 5300, or 5500 drives.

View source · Note: Family-level direction behind the exact-model replacement.

Limitation: The replacement catalog comes from the exact-model page, while the power-class tables key off the base 030 variant — the indexing suffix changes the feature set, not the power class. The 5500 branch of the family direction is unexamined for this axis.
