AXIMA 2000/4000 In- Introduction Overview The AXIMA 2000 or AXIMA 4000 multi-axis controller from EMERSON Motion Control (referred to as AXIMA 2000/4000 throughtout this manual) provides a fully integrated solution for servo control motors. It also provides a simple operator interface, machine I/O and host communications in one unit.
With AXIMA 2000/4000, as many as four Motion, eight PLC and eleven Auxiliary Programs can be operating simultaneously and control up to four separate coordinate systems, one coordinate system with four axes of motion, or any combination with four coordinate systems and four axes of motion.
Hardware Installation The following installation requirements, methods and procedures are provided to assure reliable, trouble free installation and operation of your AXIMA 2000/4000 controller. The methods and procedures outlined on the following pages include safety considerations, mounting, grounding, and power requirements.

AXIMA 2000/4000 Installation Manual WARNING General warning Failure to follow safe installation guidelines can cause death or serious injury. The voltages used in the unit can cause severe electric shock and/or burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to it. The installation must comply with all relevant safety legislation in the country of use.
Hardware Installation Mounting Requirements The AXIMA 2000/4000 should be back mounted vertically in a metal NEMA enclosure. A minimum spacing of four inches must be maintained above and below the controller for ventilation. The following diagram shows the dimensions of the AXIMA 2000/4000 controller.
Hardware Installation AXIMA/E Series Drives Grounding Example Figure 5 E Series Drive and AXIMA System Grounding Diagram Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
Power Requirements The AC power connects to a removable connector on the top of the AXIMA 2000/4000 chassis. The AC power input must be between 96 and 264 VAC, single phase, and 50 to 60 Hertz. At 115 VAC, 1.0 amps RMS is required, or at 230 VAC, 0.5 amps RMS is required.
Page 22
AC power lines and earth ground can continuously exceed the rated voltage of 264 VAC. When this happens the protection circuit in the AXIMA 2000/4000 will try to suppress this excess voltage. If the condition is prolonged, the AXIMA 2000/4000 protection circuits will fail.

Figure 16 COM 2, RS485 Configuration Serial Port Grounding The AXIMA 2000/4000 provides an isolated logic supply for its communication circuitry. ISO-COM is the circuit common for both COM port circuits. COM 1 and COM 2 devices, such as PC serial ports, typically have signal ground connected to earth ground internally in the PC.
Page 34
It is recommended that all communication lines be twisted pair shielded cable. Low capacitance shielded twisted pair cable, such as EMERSON Motion Control CCR4 or CCR6, will deliver optimum performance especially with long cable lengths and high baud rates. Cables should be routed away from motor power and other high voltage or noisy wiring.
RS485. Controller ID Number/Address The following table shows how the Address DIP switch positions relate to the AXIMA 2000/4000 controller axis ID number. The DIP switches are located behind the top front access panel of the AXIMA 2000/4000. ADDRESS...
AXIMA ID Address DIP Switch Settings Multi-Drop Installations If your application uses more than one AXIMA 2000/4000 controller (up to 16 can be linked serially), each must have a different ID number. This allows each AXIMA 2000/4000 to be addressed individually over the same multi-drop serial cable in the RS422 and RS485 modes.
Axis Connections The AXIMA 2000 has two axes and two auxiliary encoder connections, while the AXIMA 4000 has four axes connections. On the front panel of the AXIMA 2000/4000 there are four, 25 pin female “D-sub” connectors. DIAGNOSTICS STATUS LED...

AXIMA 2000/4000 Installation Manual Encoder Inputs Encoder signals are low voltage, high frequency signals susceptible to noise if not properly shielded. For reliable operation it is important that encoder cables be shielded and routed away from motor power or other high voltage signals. Shields should be connected at the controller end.

AXIMA 2000/4000 Installation Manual Encoder Power Supply The AXIMA 2000/4000 can be used to provide the 5 volt power source for external encoders. Connections are provided on each axis I/O connector. The current on the 5 volts must be limited to 250 milliamps per axis and the maximum current for 4 encoders must be limited to 1 amp.

WARNING If the CMD output of the AXIMA 2000/4000 is mistakenly connected to the common input of the LX drive, this could damage the AXIMA 2000/ 4000 analog output signal. Since the input is single ended, it will be more susceptible to noise.

Connections and Cabling Diagnostics Status Display The Diagnostic Status display on the top front of the AXIMA 2000/ 4000 is controlled by the programmer and can be used to display machine status or fault codes. During the download of an AXIMA Software Application an asterisk (*) is displayed.
This is done by setting a DIP switch located behind the left side panel, of the AXIMA 2000/4000 controller. This selection is provided to allow easy interface to the analog signal from an E Series drive.
AXIMA 2000/4000 Installation Manual The AXIMA 2000/4000 takes raw voltage (±10 volts) from the analog input terminal and, with the AXIMA Software, converts it to user units. Each analog input channel can be assigned to a Pre-defined Variable, within the AXIMA Software, which can be used in a Motion or an Auxiliary Program.
Page 62
Analog Input Option The following diagrams show single-ended and differential configurations. Single-ended wiring configurations are with respect to the common “C” terminal. For example, voltages between input terminals 1 and C, input terminals 2 and C, etc. Differential wiring means that the resultant analog value is the difference in voltage measured between a pair of input terminals.
Page 63
When using a differential configuration, the AXIMA 2000/4000 A/D converter measures the difference between two hardware channels and directs the value to a software channel. The AXIMA 2000/4000 controller does not allow you to assign terminal number 1 as the negative input.
There are two options for wiring the expanded I/O; by using direct wiring or external components. The direct wiring option is exactly that. All connections are directly wired from the AXIMA 2000/4000 controller. The external components option uses the XIOR-32 mounting rack and digital input and output modules to control the I/ O connections.
