AX8118

AX8118 Single-Axis Module

The AX8118 Single-Axis Module is a crucial component of the AX8000 multi-axis servo drive system, designed to cater to the demanding requirements of modern industrial automation. This module is engineered for versatility and precision, providing a comprehensive solution for a wide range of automation applications.

Key Features and Advantages:

Integrated DC Link and Inverter: The module contains both the DC link and the inverter necessary for supplying power to the motor, forming an all-in-one solution for axis control.

Modular and Scalable Design: The AX8118 can be easily attached to power supply modules, enabling the formation of a multi-axis servo system. Its design allows for the combination of modules with different ratings to achieve an optimized configuration for each axis.

Wide Supply Voltage Range: Supporting a voltage range from 100 to 480 V AC, this module offers operational flexibility, ensuring compatibility with various power supply modules and mains supplies.

Tool-Free Electrical Connection: The integrated AX-Bridge ensures a hassle-free electrical connection, automatically linking the DC link, 24 V DC control voltage, and EtherCAT communication between modules, enhancing installation ease and reliability.

Efficient Energy Management: During acceleration and braking, regenerative brake energy is primarily stored in the common DC link. Excess energy is managed by the brake resistor of the AX881x capacitor module to maintain optimal DC link voltage.

Advanced Safety Features with TwinSAFE: The module includes programmable TwinSAFE Logic, mirroring the capabilities of an EL6910. This feature allows for the direct implementation of custom safety applications in the servo drive, offering flexibility in designing safe drive technology systems.

Customizable Safety Functions: Safety functions like STO and SS1 are available, which can be activated via hard wiring or FSoE. The -0200 (Safe Motion) option provides various drive signals for creating tailored safety functions, compatible with EL6910 pre-certified function blocks.

Multi-Feedback Interface: The -0x10 option supports digital encoder systems like EnDat 2.2/22 and BiSS C, with two D-sub 15-pin connectors for connecting one or two encoders to a single-axis module. This feature is vital for applications requiring high precision, allowing for both primary and secondary feedback.

The AX8118 Single-Axis Module stands out for its versatility, precision, and safety features, making it an ideal choice for industries seeking a scalable, efficient, and safe solution for their automation needs. Whether used for third-party motors or in conjunction with Beckhoff linear motors, this module offers the flexibility and performance required for advanced industrial applications.
