Dual Use

According to the published EU Dual Use Regulation [Regulation (EU) No. 2021/821], commercially available frequency inverters are categorized as dual-use items. This means that the Beckhoff AMP8000 distributed servo drive system belongs to the category of goods that could be included in a dual-use listing.

The goods list, Annex 1 of the Dual Use Regulation No. 2021/821, has been amended accordingly:

• Frequency inverters (listed in goods list position 3A225) with a rotary field frequency of ≥ 600 Hz are subject to export control.
• Frequency inverters (listed in goods list position 3A225) with a rotary field frequency of ≤ 599 Hz are not subject to export control.

The AMP8000 distributed servo drive system is delivered with a maximum rotary field frequency of 599 Hz according to the current state of production and is therefore not subject to export control. This rotary field frequency limited at a maximum of 599 Hz is sufficient to operate all distributed servo drives in the AMP8000 series at full power.
