Guidelines and Standards

CE conformity

The servo drives of the AX5000 series comply with the

Applied harmonized standards:

EN 60204-1

EN 50178

CAUTION

Hazard to persons!

Servo drives are not covered by the EC Machinery Directive. Operation of the servo drives in machines or systems is only permitted once the machine or system manufacturers has provided evidence of CE conformity of the complete machine or system.

Electromagnetic compatibility

The servo drives of the AX5000 series comply with the

Applied harmonised standards:

UL Listing

The following servo drives from the AX5000 series have a UL-Listing and must bear the UL symbol

Guidelines and Standards 1:

AX5000 with UL-Listing!

AX5101, AX5103; AX5106, AX5112, AX5201, AX5203 and AX5206

on the name plate. If you wish to operate an AX5000 in an economic area that requires a UL-Listing, please check that there is a UL symbol on the name plate.

Below is a list of the relevant chapters that are amended with respect to the UL-Listing. Furthermore, UL-specific remarks are listed. It is essential to observe these specifications.

UL-specific chapter changes

“Mains supply connection (X01)”

Guidelines and Standards 2:

 

AX5000 shall be connected only to a grounded wye-source where the maximum voltage does not exceed 277 V to ground.

“Connection of several servo drives to form a drive system”

NOTICE

Guidelines and Standards 3:

Drive system with UL-Listing!

Please consult our Application Department with respect to the requirements for a drive system with UL-Listing.

UL-specific chapter

“External protection, UL-compliant”

Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with the Manufacture Instructions, National Electrical Code and any additional local codes.

Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 18000 rms symmetrical amperes, 480 V maximum, when protected by RK5 class fuses.

Drive intended for use over a range of motor sizes. Internal motor overload protection level is adjustable:

The internal motor protection is parameterized via the IDN P-0-0062 “Thermal motor model”, based on the value of the IDN S-0-0111 “Motor continuous stall current”. The IDN P-0-0062 “Time constant” is specified by the motor manufacturer and must be entered here. The IDN P-0-0062 “Warning limit” (Default) is responsible for deciding when a warning is to be generated. The IDN P-0-0062 “Error limit” (Default) is responsible for deciding when the motor is to be switched off. The default values consider the specific characteristics of the servomotors.

Electrical isolation according to EN 50178 / VDE 0160

The power section (motor connection, DC link connection and mains connection) and the control unit are doubly insulated against each other, so that safe protection against accidental contact is ensured at all terminals of the control unit without additional measures. The air and creepage distances also meet the requirements of the above standard.
