Configuration of the servo drives
The servo drives of the AX5000 series are available as single- or multi-channel versions and are optimized in terms of function and cost-effectiveness. Integrated control technology supports fast and highly dynamic positioning tasks. EtherCAT as a high-performance system communication enables ideal interfacing with PC-based control technology.
The single-channel AX51xx servo drives are designed for rated motor currents up to 170 A.
The AX52xx two-channel servo drive enables operation of two motors with identical or even with different capacity, up to a total current of 12 A. The multi-axis drives with variable motor output allocation optimize packaging density and the cost per drive channel.
The AX5000 system enables simple and fast connection of several AX5000 devices to form a multi-axis system through the AX-Bridge quick connection system. The pluggable supply and connection module combines power supply, DC link, and control (24 VDC) and braking voltage.
A wide range of motor types can be connected to the AX5000. Motors of different size and type can be connected without additional measures. Examples include synchronous, linear, torque and asynchronous motors. The multi-feedback interface supports all common feedback standards.
such as: OCT (1,5 A – 40 A devices), BiSS, EnDat, 1 Vss, Resolver.
The AX5000 was developed specifically for the EtherCAT real-time Ethernet system. The outstanding features of EtherCAT are particularly beneficial for drive technology. They include short cycle time, synchronicity and simultaneity. EtherCAT enables very short cycle times, even in networks containing a large number of devices.
