AX8000 | Multi-axis servo system

Drive technology in a new form factor
Optimum multi-channel drive solutions can be constructed with the AX8000 multi-axis servo system. The required number of 1- or 2-channel axis modules is connected to the central power supply module or the combined supply and axis module.

eXtreme Fast Control in the drive
The EtherCAT-based AX8000 multi-axis servo system combines powerful FPGA technology with ArmR multi-core processors. The new multi-channel current control technology makes extremely short sampling and reaction times possible. The entirely hardware-implemented current controller combines the advantages of analog and digital control technology: Setpoint deviations of the current can be reacted to within 1 μs; the shortest current controller cycle time is 62.5 μs at a switching frequency of 8 kHz. The processing of the EtherCAT process data (actual and setpoint values) can take place without a processor almost without delay in the hardware, so that the minimum EtherCAT cycle time is only 62.5 μs.
