Beckhoff: Digital Compact Servo Drives (AX5000 Series)


The EtherCAT drives

The AX5000 Servo Drive product line from Beckhoff sets standards in drive performance. The AX5000 series is available in single- or multi-channel form and is optimized for exceptional functionality and cost-effectiveness. Featuring integrated, high-speed control technology with a current control cycle of down to 62.5 μs, the AX5000 drives support fast and highly dynamic positioning tasks. The drives utilize EtherCAT as a high-performance communication system, providing an ideal interface with PC-based control technology while supporting coupling with other fieldbus systems.

The 2-channel Servo Drives with variable motor output current optimize the packaging density and the cost per drive channel. The compact design and simple and safe installation through the AX-Bridge quick connection system significantly simplify control cabinet assembly.


AX5000 | System overview

The AX5000 Servo Drive series enhances the Beckhoff drive range with a generation of drives for fast and highly dynamic positioning tasks. The universal drive concept is suitable for almost any application and system requirement.

AX51xx | 1-channel Servo Drive

  • Servo Drive for one drive axis

  • rated current: 1.5 A, 3 A, 6 A, 12 A, 18 A, 25 A, 40 A, 60 A, 72 A, 90 A, 110 A, 143 A, 170 A

  • wide voltage range: 100 V AC -10 %…480 V AC +10 %

  • AX5160…AX5193: 3 x 400 V AC -10 %…3 x 480 V AC +10 %

AX52xx | 2-channel Servo Drive

  • Servo Drive for two drive axes

  • rated current: 2 x 1.5 A, 2 x 3 A, 2 x 6 A

  • flexible allocation of the total device current to both axes

  • wide voltage range: 100 V AC -10 %…480 V AC +10 %

AX5021 | Brake module

The brake module consists of an internal braking resistor with a continuous power of 250 W, forced cooling and a brake chopper. An external braking resistor with a continuous power of up to 6 kW can be connected to the brake chopper. The module has an auxiliary capacitance of 705 µF in order to buffer brake energy and to avoid the activation of the brake resistor if possible. Installation of the braking resistor outside the control cabinet avoids additional heat generation within the cabinet. Connection of the brake module with the multi-axis system is straightforward via the AX-Bridge module. The integrated EtherCAT interface enables parameterisation and diagnosis via the System Manager.


AX51xx
| Digital Compact Servo Drives (1-channel)
Performance class up to 28 kW

The AX5000 Servo Drive series is available in single- or multi-channel form and is optimized in terms of function and cost-effectiveness. Integrated control technology supports fast and highly dynamic positioning tasks. EtherCAT as a high-performance communication system enables ideal interfacing with PC-based control technology.

The AX51xx 1-channel Servo Drives are designed for rated currents up to 40 A.

The AX5000 system enables simple and fast connection of several AX5000 devices to form a multi-axis system through the AX-Bridge quick connection system. The pluggable supply and connection module combines power supply, DC-Link and 24 V DC control and braking voltage.

A wide range of motor types can be connected to the AX5000. Motors of different size and type can be connected without additional measures. Examples include synchronous, linear, torque and asynchronous motors. The multi-feedback interface supports all common standards.

The AX5000 was developed specifically for use with EtherCAT. The outstanding features of EtherCAT are particularly beneficial for Drive Technology. They include short cycle time, synchronicity and simultaneity. EtherCAT enables very short cycle times, even in networks containing a large number of devices.

| Digital Compact Servo Drives (1-channel)
Performance class up to 118 kW

Demand for higher output has increased significantly in all sectors, for example in order to replace a pneumatic or hydraulic drive motor with a more maintenance-friendly electrical axis, or in order to meet stringent dynamic demands even for high loads. For this reason, higher power servo drives have been added to the AX5000 drive family. These amplifiers, with nominal device currents of up to 170 A, fit seamlessly into the world of the smaller AX5000.

The AX5000 amplifiers are available in three sizes with rated currents of 60 A, 72 A, 90 A, 110 A and 143 A, 170 A. The controllers are designed for 3-phase operation at 400 to 480 V AC and deliver 1.5…2 times the rated current for 3 seconds.

The versions up to 72 A feature integrated mains filters for compliance with EN 61800-3 requirements. The connection of an external ballast resistor is also possible. The EtherCAT connection to the PC-based control technology enables optimum utilization of available resources.

The AX5000 is very flexible with regard to the motors that can be connected: different motor sizes and types such as synchronous, linear, torque and asynchronous motors can be connected without additional measures. The multi-feedback interface supports all common standards.

The AX5000 was developed specifically for the EtherCAT real-time Ethernet system. The outstanding features of EtherCAT are particularly beneficial for drive technology. They include short cycle time, synchronicity and simultaneity. EtherCAT enables very short cycle times, even in networks containing a large number of devices.
