MP-Series Low Inertia Motor Enhancements • Numerous customer requests and market research culminated in the launch of new MP-Series products with “DIN” style connectors – You are now able to use a single cable family for all premium Rockwell Automation servo motors and actuators. – Ease of use: Connectors can be positioned without tools into the desired orientation – Simplicity: Integration of brake and power into a single cable eliminates a discrete brake cable – Enhanced durability • The implementation began with MP-Series Food Grade motors in late 2003 • With product launches in 2008 and 2009, the entire MP-Series line is available with these enhanced connectors Copyright © 2009 Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Silver Series Overview • Rockwell Automation is committed to supplying best-in-class products. • This involves periodic enhancements to meet the needs of our customers • We will give advance notice of product lifecycle actions to our customers to allow for their planning • Rockwell Automation will offer support services to our customers throughout the lifecycle 3

MP-Series Low Inertia Motors Lifecycle change to motors with bayonet connectors • The Kinetix business unit is changing the lifecycle status of the original MP-Series servo motors, with bayonet connectors only, effective immediately, to “Silver Series. ” – The newly-launched MP-Series Low Inertia (MPL) motors with (DIN) connectors are not affected by this announcement • The products with bayonet connectors will be available for sale through normal channels until December 1, 2010 (the “Silver Date”). Production of these products will cease after this date. • The new motors with DIN connectors provide functionality identical to the original motors with bayonet style connectors • Refurbishment services are planned, pending availability of component parts, for 7 years following the “Silver Date. ” • This document summarizes the steps needed for customers to support their installed base of motors with bayonet connectors.

Customers building new machines • Migrate your machine design to the new “DIN” connector motors – Easy; the connector digit in the catalog numbers changes from a “ 2” to a “ 7” • Example: MPL-A 330 P-SJ 22 AA becomes MPL-A 330 P-SJ 72 AA – DIN cables are used with these motors—bayonet cables are not compatible • Verify: – Dimensions: In some cases, they may have increased slightly from the original versions. Ensure that this will not result in interferences in the machine. – MPL-x 4520 x-… servo motors have not been released with DIN connectors due to low demand. The axis should be resized with a MPL-x 4530 x- or MPL -x 430 x- motor. – Power cable size: some recommendations have changed. • Notify: – Your customers of this change for their support planning – Your service department of this change for their planning Copyright © 2009 Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Supporting Motors on your Machine You maintain a stock of bayonet motors • Identify the MP-Series Low Inertia (MPL) bayonet servo motors on your machine • Analyze the service history of the machine • Estimate the number of motors required over the life of the machine – Plan on Rockwell Automation refurbishment services for up to 7 years • Execute a plan to acquire the required number of motors – Last time buy, and/ or – Parts Management Agreement (PMA) – Note that the advanced exchange services are not available for all catalog numbers nor are motors guaranteed to be in stock • Advantages: – You have the motor WHEN IT IS NEEDED – The motor is compatible with the cables rights reserved. machine on your Copyright © 2009 Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Supporting Motors on your Machine You Buy New DIN Motors and Cables • When you need to replace a motor, purchase motors and cables with the new “DIN” connectors – Easy; the connector digit in the catalog numbers changes from a “ 2” to a “ 7” • Example: MPL-A 330 P-SJ 22 AA becomes MPL-A 330 P-SJ 72 AA – DIN cables are used with these motors—bayonet cables are not compatible • Verify: – Dimensions: In some cases, they may have increased slightly from the original versions. Ensure that this will not result in interferences in the machine. – MPL-x 4520 x-… servo motors have not been released with DIN connectors due to low sales. The axis should be resized with a MPL-x 4530 x- or MPLx 430 x- motor. – Power cable size: some recommendations have changed. This action is only needed when a motor needs to be replaced!

Supporting Motors on Your Machine Alternate Methods Rockwell Automation recognizes that in the future: – Exact motor replacements may not be available – Repair services may not be feasible in some circumstances – Pulling new cables through your machine may not be practical Rockwell Automation has released special products to maximize the uptime on your machine • Use equivalent new DIN MPL motors with “Transition Cables” – These 0. 5 m cables bridge from the installed cables to the new DIN motor – Offer fast replacement with the current MPL motor line – IP 66 rated and part of the EMC Declaration of Conformity (Do. C) • Purchase and Install DIN Connector Kits – This requires a skilled operator and special tools – Fitting the connector kits can be challenging and time consuming – Not an option for motors fitted with holding brakes Copyright © 2009 Rockwell Automation, Inc.
