Notes on the AX8000 multi-axis servo system

The notes are intended to avert danger and facilitate the handling of the AX800 multi-axis servo system.
They must be followed during installation, commissioning, production, troubleshooting, maintenance and trial
or test assemblies.
The multi-axis servo system from the AX8000 series is not capable of running alone. It must always be
installed in a machine or system. After installation the additional documentation and safety instructions
provided by the machine manufacturer must be read and followed.
Danger to life due to high voltage on the DC link capacitors!
The DC link capacitors RB+ and RB- and the test contacts DC+ and DC- on the
supply, axis and option modules can carry life-threatening voltages of
DANGER
≥ 875 V .
DC
Take the following measures to avert danger:
• After disconnecting the servo drive from the mains supply, wait until the voltage has
fallen below 50 V
• Measure the voltage on the test contacts properly.
• Secure the work area properly and wear the PPE.
Proper connection of the protective earth conductor!
Protective earth systems must be connected when installing electrical systems and compo-
nents.
CAUTION
Please observe the following notes when installing the protective earth conductor:
• Read section 3.2: "Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)", in particular the parts regard-
ing the attachment of a protective earth conductor.
• Make sure that the protective earth conductor has been firmly connected.
• Disconnect the servo drive from the mains supply. Secure the control cabinet and the
device against being switched on again.
• Wear PPE.
Serious burns due to hot surfaces on the devices!
The surface temperature of the devices can reach ≥ 50 °C during operation of the system.
There is an acute risk of sustaining burns to parts of the body and limbs.
WARNING
Take the following measures to avert danger:
• Do not touch any components (housing, etc.) shortly after or during operation.
• Wait until all components have cooled sufficiently. At least 15 minutes.
• Check the surface temperature with a thermometer.
• DO NOT wear work gloves with a rubber coating. These can fuse with the skin on ac-
count of the high temperature and cause serious injuries.
Notes on operation of the AX8000 multi-axis servo system:
• Read this manual completely and carefully before using the servo drive. Notify the re-
sponsible sales office immediately if any passages are not understandable. Refrain
Note
from working on the servo drive.
• When carrying out the electrical installation, ensure that the correct fuses/circuit break-
ers are selected between the mains supply and the supply module. Further information
can be found in the "Electrical installation [} 41]" section.
