Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 EtherNet/IP Indexing Servo Drives (2097)
Legacy single-axis indexing servo drive with EtherNet/IP, now discontinued in favour of the Kinetix 5100.
Allen-Bradley lists this series as discontinued. The manufacturer's recommended replacement: Kinetix 5100 Servo Drives (Rockwell product page: 'we recommend migrating to our Kinetix 5100 Servo Drives'; migration guide 2198-RM004). We can help with spares for installed machines, a migration to the replacement, or an alternative.

Alternatives that meet or exceed these figures
Engineers often come to us with an Allen-Bradley part number and leave with an alternative that is easier to source, quicker to deliver or a better fit for the machine. These 3 series from our supply network are the closest match on published figures.
Leadshine's EL7 platform spans 220 VAC drives from 400 W to 2 kW, 400 VAC drives to 7.5 kW and an 11-22 kW high-power range, all with STO and EtherCAT, Modbus/pulse or PROFINET variants.

Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
