2.2 Use as directed
l The servo amplifiers are components which are built into electrical equipment or ma-
chines, and can only be commissioned as integral components of such equipment.
l The manufacturer of the machine must produce a hazard analysis for the ma-
chine and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements do
not result in personal injury or material damage.
l The servo amplifier should only be used with power supplies with a maximum
symmetrical rated current of 5000A and a voltage of 115/230V AC (AX250x) or
400V AC (AX251x).
Mains voltage Servo amplifier
1 x 115V AC only AX250x, unearthed operation is permissible
3 x 115V AC only AX250x, unearthed operation is permissible
1 x 230V AC only AX250x, unearthed operation is permissible
3 x 230V AC all types, unearthed operation is permissible
3 x 400V AC only AX251x, TN-system or TT-system with earthed neutral point
l If the servo amplifiers are used in residential areas, or in business or commercial
premises, then additional filter measures must be implemented by the user.
l The AX2500 family of servo amplifiers is only intended to drive specific brushless
synchronous servomotors with closed-loop control of torque, speed and/or position.
The rated voltage of the motors must be at least as high as the DC Bus link voltage
of the servo amplifier.
l The servo amplifiers may only be operated in a closed control cabinet, taking into
account the ambient conditions defined on page 20. Ventilation or cooling measures
may be required to keep the temperature below 45°C.
l Use only copper-cored cables for wiring. The conductor cross-sections can be taken
from the European standard EN 60204 (or Table 310-16 of NEC for 60°C or 75°C in
the column for AWG cross-sections).
l We can only guarantee that the system will conform to the standards cited on page
11 if the components used are exclusively those supplied by us (servo amplifier, mo-
tor, cables etc.).
l Not more than 7 axis modules can be connected to a master module.
