Product Description

The AX5101-0000 digital servo drive from Beckhoff's AX Digital Servo Drive Series provides high-performance motion control solutions. Featuring a rated output current of 1.5 amps and a peak output current of 4.5 amps, it reliably powers AC servo motors under normal and overload conditions. The AX5101-0000 utilizes EtherCAT as its system bus, enabling seamless integration into distributed automation architectures with high-speed synchronous data transfer.

One key strength of the AX5101-0000 is its flexibility with feedback systems. In addition to standard SinCos 1 Vpp encoders, it supports alternative feedback technologies such as resolvers, EnDat 2.1, Hiperface, BiSS B, and OCT. This multi-protocol design allows for precise motor control regardless of the configured feedback device. What's more, the drive retains full functionality across an ambient temperature range from 0 to 50 degrees Celsius, typical of industrial environments.

Rigorous compliance with CE, cULus, and EAC standards reflects the AX5101-0000's uncompromising focus on safety. It has undergone rigorous testing to fulfill IEC and UL regulations globally. Fault monitoring and integrated safeties provide added reassurance for continuous operation in mission-critical automation. Software configuration is streamlined through the usage of standardized SERCOSTM and CoE profiles defined in IEC 61800-7-204. Dimensioned at 317.7 by 232 by 92 millimeters, the AX5101-0000 occupies minimal space, yet its power density remains sufficient for general-purpose motions. EtherCAT handles distributed motion tasks over long cable runs with exact synchronization between decentralized peripherals. This combination of compact design and high-performance communications empowers flexible distributed systems.
