Offline configuration
Adding the AMP8620 power supply module
The EtherCAT P interface is required to add the AMP8620 power supply module at I/O level, e.g. by linking an EPP1322 box or an EtherCAT P coupler.
 | If there is no EtherCAT P interface, the AMP8620 power supply module is not found when it is added manually. To do this, deactivate the Check Connector checkbox. |
The AMP8620 power supply module has three boxes at I/O level, one main box and two sub-boxes.
- The M8 EtherCAT P outputs (X20 and X21) can be connected to other devices via the main box.
- The sub-box (AMP8620-A000-1000) serves the power outputs X40 - X41 for connecting AMP8000 motors or other AMP8805 distribution modules.
- The sub-box (AMP8620-B000-1000) serves the power outputs X42 - X44 for connecting AMP8000 motors or other AMP8805 distribution modules.
With TwinCAT version 4026.x, the sub-boxes are no longer displayed in the System Manager. AMP8000 motors or AMP8805 distribution modules can be added via the main box.
Adding AMP8000 motors or AMP8805 distribution modules
The AMP8000 motors differ at I/O level in terms of their safety design.
- AMP8000-0010-010x:
AMP8000 motor in STO version
(for order code: AMP80xx-xx1x and AMP80xx-xx2x) - AMP8000-0030-010x:
AMP8000 motor in STO/SafeMotion version
(for order code: AMP80xx-xx3x and AMP80xx-xx4x)
By adding another AMP8805 distribution module, a main box and two sub-boxes are added, as with the AMP8620 power supply module. The configuration at I/O level is identical to that of the AMP8620 power supply module.
- ►Select whether an NC or CNC configuration is to be created for the added EtherCAT drive(s) and confirm the selection with Ok
- ►Add a TC3 Drive Manager 2 project for the configuration of the AMP8000 system
In the Search drives... dialog box, connected components of the AMP8000 system and other Beckhoff drive technology components can be configured and basic settings made.
- ►Selection of power supply on the AMP8620 power supply module
- If there is no supply voltage, the default settings are used. If a braking resistor is used, this can be selected in advance.
- The motor configuration is adopted with its default values during offline configuration. The basic settings can be changed later in the project.
- ►Complete the configuration by clicking on Ok
- ►If an External braking resistor was selected in the previous step, the braking resistor must be configured under the Basic Settings of the AMP8620 power supply module
- ►In the Basic settings tab, select the AMP8000 motor used via the associated axis channel.
This procedure must also be carried out for the other AMP8000 motors in the project
For the scaling definition between drive and logical NC axis, the NC Feed constant can be entered via the Load menu item.
- ►Transfer values to the NC by clicking the Save icon
It is also possible to define additional load parameters such as:
- Load inertia
- Mechanical motor torque limit
- Mechanical motor speed limit
The initial configuration of the AMP8000 system is complete.
The safety configuration must be carried out to operate the AMP8000 motors. For commissioning and device replacement, the instructions in the Operating instructions AMP8911 - TwinSAFE card must be observed.
Further information on safety commissioning can be found in the webinars on the Beckhoff homepage:
