Beckhoff Digital Compact Servo Drives AX2500 series are fully software-compatible with the AX2000. In its maximum configuration, the multi-axis system comprises eight axes, i.e. a supply module with seven axis modules. The supply module comprises a power supply, a mains filter for power and auxiliary voltage, a ballast circuit and resistor and a power output stage. The following axis modules are simply plugged directly onto the supply module and connected with each other in the intermediate DC circuit via a socket strip, which is also used for looping through the 24 V DC auxiliary voltage. This provides the user with a very compact, cost-optimised servo system, which is flexibly adaptable to the respective requirements. Compared with single axes, the wiring and commissioning effort is reduced significantly. The modular concept also minimises possible sources of error.
The variable fieldbus connection enables simple integration into various control worlds: PROFIBUS DP, SERCOS interface, CANopen, real-time Ethernet and Lightbus. The AX2500 Servo Drive can be used for motors with resolver or with single-turn/multi-turn absolute encoder. The operation of linear and asynchronous motors is also possible. Ready-made motor and feedback lines are offered as accessories.
