Product Description

The AX8810-0000-0000, chassis number type is a capacitor module which is meant for increasing the amount of DC link capacitance in Beckhoff servo drive systems. This module is very important in helping the DC link by capturing and cooling voltage spikes caused during motor braking therefore improving overall energy efficiency. Since temporary power is also connected to the motor in case of any interruptions, this regenerative energy is stored in the AX8810 thus limiting the need of the use of brake resistors. This does not only result in the reduction of unnecessary power losses but also leads to a decrease in the overall connected load thus enhancing power usage and the chances of downsizing of fuses.

When using the AX8810, one of the most attractive advantages is its energy efficiency saving potential where frequent brake cycles are required. It makes it possible to activate the brake resistors less frequently thus enabling a constructive distribution of the energies to be captured thereby making the energy consumption of the multi axes systems. The capacity module is rated for use in DC link voltage of 848 V DC, which means it can be utilized for high voltage applications.

The first step in installing and configuring most devices is the use of the TwinCAT 3 Drive Manager 2, which provides a convenient interface for the configuration of the module. At the same time, it is possible to use the TwinCAT 3 Safety Editor TE9000 and TwinSAFE Loader/User TE9200 in order to carry out all projects that are safety relevant. In terms of physical dimensions, the AX8810 measures height 230 mm, depth 192 mm and width 60 mm which is small enough to be integrated in the present systems. Since it has an IP20 protection class, it is suitable for use in general industrial conditions within a temperature range of 0 to 40oC; it can go up to 50oC provided power is reduced.
