    System description System description The AX8000 multi-axis servo system Multi-channel drive solutions can be constructed with the AX8000 multi-axis servo system. The required number of single-channel or two-channel axis modules are attached to the central supply module. The modules are connected without screws or tools using the built-in AX-Bridge quick connection system, which is based on spring-loaded terminals.
  • Page 10: Product Description

    AX8911 - TwinSAFE drive option for AX8000 series servo drives The AX8911 TwinSAFE drive option is an optional extension of the Beckhoff AX8000 servo drive series. There are two versions of the AX8911 option. The first version provides only the STO function via the digital inputs of the AX8000 axis module or via a TwinSAFE (FSoE) connection.

    References [} 8]). Intended use The AX8911 TwinSAFE drive option card extends the field of use of the Beckhoff AX8000 servo drive by safety functions that allow it to also be used in the field of machine safety. Observe the intended use!
  • Page 12 Product description Parameterization Check the parameterization of the TwinSAFE drive option card! The TwinSAFE drive option card determines errors in the parameterization, but no logical testing of the parameters or the loaded safety program can take place. Hence, you must WARNING ensure by means of an acceptance test that the parameterization and the safety program are correct for the application.

    Operation 5.3.4 Creation of safety functions The creation of a fail-safe user program is explained in the documentation for the EL6910 and the FB description. The corresponding documents are listed under References [} 8]. Switching back to the default project If the entire project (safe logic, parameters and mapping) is deleted on the AX8911 Twin- SAFE drive option, the default project will be active again after restarting the AX8911.
  • Page 31: Use Of The Sto Function

    Use of the STO function Use of the STO function Restart lock The restart lock is to be implemented in the higher-level safety controller. Alternatively, this can be adapted by the user or the machine manufacturer by modifying CAUTION the fail-safe program on the AX8911. OSSD signals on X15 and X25 The test pulses must not exceed a length of 3.5 ms.
  • Page 32: Fig. 15 Safe Outputs From A Third-Party Manufacturer Connected To Sto Inputs

    Use of the STO function Using the STO inputs with a third-party safety controller It must also be ensured that test pulses are generated when using a third-party safety controller or safe output. The user must ensure that the test pulse length and frequency do not lead to a switch-off of the STO channels or the AX8911.
  • Page 33: Default Sto Function In The Ax8911

    Use of the STO function Use of the STO function via a TwinSAFE (FSoE) connection Additional wiring of the STO inputs is unnecessary if the AX8911 is connected to a TwinSAFE logic via EtherCAT and the Safety-over-EtherCAT protocol. Here, the signals of the connection to, for example, an EL6910 are used in the AX8911 logic in order to switch off the STO channels and the brake controller of the AX8911.
  • Page 34: Fig. 18 Default Twinsafe Logic Program For Ax8911

    Use of the STO function Hardware inputs / TwinSAFE signals Hardware inputs and signals via the TwinSAFE connection are equivalent. If one of the two supplies the enable signal to move the axis, the axis can be moved. Note If this does not suit the functionality desired by the user, the fail-safe program on the AX8911 can be replaced by the user or the machine manufacturer with a program suitable for the application case.
  • Page 35: Process Image Of The Ax8Xxx-X1Xx

    Use of the STO function 6.1.1 Process image of the AX8xxx-x1xx The process image of the AX8xxx-x1xx contains process data for the FSoE connection to the internal AX8911. The telegram length is 7 bytes and thus contains 2 bytes of safe user data. The STO signal for axis A is located in bit 0 in the first byte.
