Use as directed of the CANopen interface
Please observe the chapter “Permitted use” in the product manual for the servo amplifier.
The interface is a component part of the AX2000/2500 series of digital servo amplifiers.
The CANopen interface serves only for the connection of the servo amplifier to a master via
the CAN-bus.
The servo amplifiers are components that are built into electrical apparatus or machinery, and can
only be setup and operated as integral components of such apparatus or machinery.
We can only guarantee the conformity of the servo amplifier with the following standards for
industrial areas when the components that we specify are used, and the installation
regulations are followed:
EC EMC Directive
EC Low-Voltage Directive
