BECKHOFF AX2500 - Manual (Page 17)

Integrated safety
l safe electrical separation to EN 50178 between the power input / motor connections
and the signal electronics, provided by appropriate creepage distances and complete
electrical isolation
l Soft-start, overvoltage detection, short-circuit protection, phase-failure monitoring
l temperature monitoring of servo amplifier and motor (when using our motors with our
pre-assembled cables)
Auxiliary voltage 24V DC
l electrically isolated via an external 24V DC PSU, e.g. with isolating transformer
Operation and parameter setting
l with the comfortable setup software, via the serial interface of a PC to a single con-
nection for all axes in a system
l station address setting through two keys and a 3-digit LED status display on the
master
l fully programmable via RS232 interface
Completely digital control
l digital current controller (space vector pulse-width modulation, 62.5 µs)
l freely programmable digital speed controller (62.5 µs or 250 µs)
l integral position controller, with adaptation possibilities for every application (250 µs)
l integrated pulse direction interface, for connection of a servomotor to a
stepper-motor control
l evaluation of the resolver signals or sine/cosine signals from a high-resolution
encoder
l encoder emulation (incremental ROD 426-compatible or SSI)
Comfort functions
l 4 programmable digital inputs
(two are normally defined as limit-switch inputs)
l 2 programmable digital outputs
l freely programmable combinations of all digital signals
Options
l PROFIBUS DP interface instead of CANopen, see page 69
l SERCOS interface instead of CANopen, see page 70
l EtherCat interface instead of CANopen, see page 71
