DC Common Bus 
Configurations
When an integrated axis module (IAM) is used in a dc common bus 
configuration, the IAM is known as a leader IAM or follower IAM. The IAM 
(non-common bus) and leader IAM have identical three-phase input power 
connections. The leader IAM is responsible for discharging the dc bus, and for 
providing common bus follower drives with dc bus pre-charge, bus regulation, 
phase-loss detection, and ground fault detection. Follower IAMs do not have 
three-phase input power connections, but have dc bus connections from a 
leader IAM. 
IAM Terminology and Use
The Kinetix 2000 leader IAM can operate with non-Kinetix 2000 follower 
drives, as can the Kinetix 2000 follower IAM operate with non-Kinetix 2000 
common bus leader drives. However, non-Kinetix 2000 leader and follower 
drives must meet the same functional requirements as the Kinetix 2000 leader 
and follower IAMs.
Typical Common Bus Configuration
This IAM
Is Wired
And is
IAM
With three-phase input power.
Not wired in common bus mode.
Leader IAM
With three-phase input power, but has 
dc common bus connections to a 
follower IAM.
Wired in common bus mode.
Follower IAM
Without three-phase input power, but 
has dc common bus connections from 
a leader IAM.
Wired in common bus mode and 
configured using RSLogix 5000 
software.
IMPORTANT
Use Kinetix 2000 drive firmware v1.95.18 and RSLogix 5000 software, 
version 16 or later, for common dc bus power configurations. 
IMPORTANT
Any non-Kinetix 2000 common bus leader that does not provide 
pre-charge is required to add an additional external pre-charge circuit 
before connecting to any Kinetix 2000 common bus follower IAM.
