AX 8108 Axis Modules in Multi-Axis Servo Systems

Axis modules are fundamental components in multi-axis servo systems, designed to supply motors through their integrated DC link and inverter. These modules are pivotal for the flexible and efficient design of industrial automation systems, offering customizable solutions based on the specific needs of each axis.

Key Features and Capabilities:

Versatile Configuration: Axis modules can be conveniently attached to a power supply module, forming a multi-axis servo system. They are designed to be combined with different ratings, allowing for an optimized design of individual axes.

Wide Supply Voltage Range: Operating within a broad voltage range of 100 to 480 V AC, the axis modules ensure compatibility with any power supply module. This feature greatly simplifies machine configuration for various mains supplies.

Tool-Free Electrical Connection: The integrated AX-Bridge facilitates a tool-free connection, automatically linking the DC link, 24 V DC control voltage, and EtherCAT communication between modules. This innovation enhances installation ease and reliability.

Energy Exchange and Management: The DC link connection allows for the efficient exchange of energy during acceleration and braking, storing regenerative brake energy within the common DC link. In cases where this energy exceeds the DC link’s capacitance, the AX881x capacitor module’s brake resistor is employed to manage the voltage.

Advanced Safe Drive Technology with TwinSAFE: The AX8108, AX8118, and AX8206 axis modules feature programmable TwinSAFE Logic, enabling direct implementation of safety applications in the servo drive. This technology provides greater flexibility and customization in the design of safe drive systems.

Safety Functions and Customization: The modules offer safety functions like STO and SS1, which can be activated either through hard wiring or FSoE. For modules with the -0200 (Safe Motion) ordering option, a variety of drive signals are available for creating specific safety functions, using pre-certified function blocks for complex safety tasks.

Multi-Feedback Interface: The -0x10 ordering option supports digital encoder systems like EnDat 2.2/22 and BiSS C. With dual-axis modules, each axis is assigned an encoder interface, allowing for primary or secondary feedback. This feature is vital for applications requiring high precision, such as in the case of linear encoders used with AM8000 servomotors.

The multi-axis servo system, with its axis modules, is a cutting-edge solution for businesses seeking adaptable, safe, and high-precision drive technology. The system’s flexibility in programming and wide range of safety functions make it ideal for various industrial applications requiring customized and efficient automation solutions.
