Description
Product Name : 1398-HMI Allen Braley Power module
Product details:
The Allen-Bradley 1398-HMI is an external Human-Machine Interface (HMI) module specifically designed for use with the ULTRA Series of digital servo drives (such as the Ultra 100, 200, and Plus series). It serves as a portable or panel-mounted diagnostic and configuration tool, allowing users to interact with the drive without needing a dedicated PC.
1. Product Overview
The 1398-HMI features a handheld design with a built-in keypad and a liquid crystal display (LCD). It connects directly to the serial port of the Ultra series drives to provide real-time status monitoring, parameter adjustment, and error troubleshooting.
2. Technical Specifications

| Display Type | LCD (Backlit, typically 2 lines of text) |
| Input Method | Tactile Keypad (Navigation, Enter, and Escape keys) |
| Interface Port | RS-232 / RS-422 Serial |
| Power Supply | Powered directly via the drive connection |
| Mounting | Handheld or bracket-mounted |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F) |
3. Key Product Advantages
- Portability: Its compact size makes it an ideal “pocket” tool for field technicians and maintenance personnel.
- PC-Free Configuration: Allows for quick parameter changes and drive tuning on the factory floor without hauling a laptop or installing software.
- Real-Time Diagnostics: Instantly view fault codes, drive temperature, motor speed, and bus voltage.
- Rugged Design: Built to withstand industrial environments, offering a more durable interface than standard consumer electronics.
- Plug-and-Play: Requires minimal setup; once connected to the drive’s communication port, it is immediately functional.
4. Product Applications
The 1398-HMI is primarily used in automation systems where Ultra Series servo drives are installed:
- Commissioning: Initial setup of motor parameters and motion limits.
- Maintenance: Routine checks of drive health and performance metrics.
- Troubleshooting: Identifying specific fault codes (e.g., overcurrent, feedback loss) during machine downtime.
- Tuning: Adjusting gain settings to optimize motor response for specific mechanical loads.
5. Important Considerations & Precautions
- Compatibility: Ensure your drive firmware version supports the HMI module. It is specifically intended for the legacy 1398 Ultra Series; it is not compatible with newer Kinetix drives.
- Connection: Always use the manufacturer-specified cable. Using an incorrect pinout can damage the serial port of either the HMI or the drive.
- Hot-Plugging: While generally robust, it is best practice to check the drive manual regarding connecting/disconnecting the HMI while the drive is under high-voltage power.
- Environment: Avoid exposing the module to excessive moisture, oil mist, or conductive dust, as it is not rated for extreme IP-sealed environments.
- Legacy Status: Please note that the 1398 series is largely considered a discontinued/legacy product line. Availability is often limited to refurbished units or surplus stock.
6. Common Parameters Accessible
Through the 1398-HMI, users can typically modify or view:
- Velocity Loop Gains: K_p (Proportional) and K_i (Integral) settings.
- Current Limits: Setting peak and continuous current thresholds.
- Digital I/O Status: Verifying if enable signals or limit switches are being cleared.
- Error Log: Reviewing the history of the last several drive faults.
