3.1 General description
AX5805 – TwinSAFE drive option card AX5000 series drive controllers
The AX5805 TwinSAFE drive option card is an optional extension for Beckhoff’s AX5000 servo drive series.
The following safety functions can be implemented by installing the AX5805 in the AX5000:
-
Stop functions (STO, SOS, SS1, SS2)
-
Speed functions (SLS, SSM, SSR, SMS)
-
Position functions (SLP, SCA, SLI)
-
Acceleration functions (SAR, SMA)
-
Direction of rotation functions (SDIp, SDIn)
Similarly to when programming or configuration of the safety application, the entire parameterization of the
AX5805 option card is performed in the TwinCAT software. All system-specific settings are stored together
with the application in the TwinSAFE logic terminal or in the AX5805 startup parameters. This makes it
possible to switch out the AX5805 at any time – without changing the software. The AX5805 receives all
necessary parameters at the next switch on or boot-up.
The AX5805 fulfills the requirements of IEC 61508 SIL 3 and DIN EN ISO 13849-1:2006 (Cat 4, PL e).
The AX5805 is intended for use in the safety option slot of a servo drive of the AX5000 series.
Attention
Compatibility of the AX5000 and AX5805
The AX5805 can be used only in servo drives AX5xxx-0000-x2xx.
Attempting to install the AX5805 into AX5000 servo drives of a previous version can cause
irreparable damage to the AX5000.
