The fastest AX5000 I/O update time is 250 µs. All controllers (current controller, speed controller and position controller) are calculated with up to 62.5 µs.

The integrated, fast AX5000 control technology with a current control cycle of up to 62.5 µs supports fast and highly dynamic positioning tasks. The drives are designed as single- or two-channel servo drives:

• AX51xx: 1-channel servo drive
  Nominal motor current: 1 A, 3 A, 6 A, 12 A, 18 A, 25 A, 40 A, 60 A, 72 A, 90 A, 110 A, 143 A, 170 A
• AX52xx: 2-channel servo drive
  Nominal motor current: 2 x 1 A, 2 x 3 A, 2 x 6 A (with flexible distribution of the total device current to both axes)

The 2-channel servo drives with variable motor output allocation enable operation of two motors with identical or even with different capacity on a single servo drive. For example, an asynchronous motor with a nominal current of 1 A and a linear motor with a nominal current of 9 A can be operated with a servo drive with two 6 A channels. The sum current is relevant for the device utilization.

The AX Bridge (only up to AX5140) enables convenient and fast connection of several servo drives of the AX5000 series to form a drive system. This pluggable supply and connection module combines power supply, DC link and control voltage (24 V_DC) and enables fast installation and commissioning.

The AX5000 offers flexible and universal connection options. It supports

• almost all feedback systems, including robust resolvers via OCT (1,5 A – 40 A devices),
  sine/cosine encoders with EnDat, Hiperface or BiSS.
• a wide range of motor types such as asynchronous, synchronous, torque or linear motors.
