Overview

The AX8000 multi-axis servo system is ideal for creating multi-channel drive solutions. The required number of single or dual-channel axis modules are connected to the central power supply module or the combined power supply and axis module.

The EtherCAT-based AX8000 multi-axis servo system combines powerful FPGA technology with multi-core ARM processors. The new multi-channel current control technology enables extremely short sampling and response times. The current controller, which is fully implemented in hardware, combines the advantages of analog and digital control technology: it can react to deviations in the current limit value within 1 µs, and the current controller cycle time is 62.5 µs at a switching frequency of 8 kHz. The EtherCAT process data (actual and setpoint values) can be processed in hardware without a processor with virtually no delay, so that the minimum EtherCAT cycle time is just 62.5 µs.

Features of the XFC servo system AX8000:

• EtherCAT cycle time ≤ 100 µs
• Support of distributed clocks
• Extremely fast digital inputs
• Integration of oversampling technology
