Dual Use

According to the published EU Regulation 1382/2014, commercially available frequency converters are categorized as products with a double purpose of use. This makes the Beckhoff AMP8000 distributed servo drive system one of the dual-use products.

The goods list, Annex 1 of the Dual Use directive 428/2009 has been amended accordingly:

• Frequency converters (listed in goods list position 3A225) ≥ 600 Hz are subject to export control
• Frequency converters, such as the AMP8000 distributed servo drive system, with a rotary field frequency of 599 Hz are not subject to export controls

The AMP8000 distributed servo drive system is delivered with a maximum rotary field frequency of 599 Hz according to the current state of production. This is sufficient to operate all distributed servo drives of the AMP8000 series at full power.
