AX-Bridge quick connection system

The AX5000 quick connection system enables simple and fast connection of several AX5000 devices to form a multi-axis system. The pluggable supply and connection module combines power supply, DC link, and control and braking voltage (24 VDC).

NOTICE

AX-Bridge quick connection system 1:

Drive system with UL-Listing!

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

CAUTION

Danger for persons and equipment

Note the total rated current of the connected devices. According to CE the current carrying capacity of power busbars of the AX Bridge is limited to 85 A.

Notice

Hazard to the equipment

    • The connection sequence of the devices is not arbitrary. The total rated current of the device must decrease from the power supply.
      AX5112-AX5203-AX5106-AX5201 = OK
      AX5201-AX5112-AX5203 ¹ OK
       
    • All devices in a drive system are always to be disconnected from and reconnected to the mains supply together (emergency stop, mains contactor etc.).

    Notice

    Destruction of the external brake resistor!

    An external brake resistor may not be connected to the X02 terminal point (DC link) in a drive system. Use an external brake module AX5021 for this.

    AX-Bridge quick connection system 2:

    Supply module for multi-axis system

    If several AX5000 units are to be linked to form a multi-axis system, a supply module for connecting the supply voltage and the control voltage (24 VDC) for the control electronics and the motor brakes is required.

    Article no.

    Description

    AX5901

    Supply module (AX5000 with rated current between 1 A and 25 A)

    AX-Bridge quick connection system 3:

    To install the supply module connectors X01, X02 and X03 must be removed and replaced with the supply module.

    AX-Bridge connection module for multi-axis system

    The connection between the two AX amplifiers is established by moving the three busbar sliders of the first connection module of the next drive to the left.

    Article no.

    Description

    AX5911

    Connection module for housing size 1 (AX5000 with rated current between 1 A and 12 A)

    AX5912

    Connection module for housing size 2 (AX5000 with rated current between 18 A and 25 A)

    AX-Bridge quick connection system 4:

    Connection

    CAUTION

    Risk of injury through electric shock and destruction of the AX5000!

    Move all busbar sliders to the left limit stop to ensure full current carrying capacity. Then tighten all screws with a torque of 2.2 Nm.

    CAUTION

    Fire hazard through cable overload!

    Please ensure that the final supply network connection cable is adequately dimensioned. The dimensioning depends on the total rated current and must comply with EN60204-1. A 3-phase connection must be used if the total rated current exceeds 9 A.

    The supply connection is established as described in section Power supply.
