Configuration of the connector boxes

The AL225x connector boxes are aluminium boxes with ports for cables to the motor and the amplifier.
With the Beckhoff AL225x connector box you can simply connect the motor, encoder and thermal protection
contact cables of the AL2xxx and AL38xx linear motor with the drag chain-capable motor and encoder
cables of the AX5000, AX2500 and AX2000 servo drives series.
To this end, each connector box has ports for Beckhoff motor and feedback cables on the input side. The
output side features screw connections, through which non-assembled motor and feedback system cables
can be introduced.
By using the connector box, the wires of the temperature sensor are connected to the motor cable. No
separate cable is required. This means that only two outgoing cables from the connector box are required.
The terminal strip in the connector box is designed for the signals of several feedback protocols, so that
feedback systems from different manufacturers can be used.
The direct connection of individual wires in the connector box avoids the problem of assembling the
feedback connector.
