Appropriate Use; Dual Use (Eu1382/2014) - Beckhoff AX8000 Series Manual

1.3

Appropriate use

The AX8000 multi-axis servo system is exclusively designed for the operation of suitable synchronous
motors with torque, speed and position control. The max. permissible effective voltage of the motors must be
higher than or at least equal to the effective mains voltage supplied to the servo system.
The supply, axis and capacitor modules of the AX8000 multi-axis servo system are installed exclusively as
components in electrical systems or machines. They may only be put into operation as integrated
components of the system.
Caution - Risk of injury!
Basically, electronic devices are not fail-safe. The machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that
the connected motors and the machine are brought into a safe state in the event of a fault in the drive sys-
tem.
The components and modules listed above may only be operated in a closed control cabinet, taking into
consideration the environmental and operating conditions [} 27] described in the section: "Technical Data".
Improper use
The AX8000 multi-axis servo system is not suitable for use in the following areas:
• in ATEX zones without a suitable housing
• in areas with aggressive environments (e.g. aggressive gases or chemicals)
The relevant standards and directives for EMC interference emissions must be complied with in residential
areas. The servo drives may only be installed in housings and control cabinets with appropriate shielding
attenuation.
1.3.1

Dual Use (EU1382/2014)

According to the EU directive 1382/2014 published on 30/12/2014, commercially available frequency
converters – that also means the Beckhoff product series: AX8000 multi-axis servo systems are now newly
classified as dual-use goods.
The goods list, Annex I of the Dual Use directive 428/2009 has been amended accordingly:
• Frequency converters (listed in goods list position 3A225) ≥ 600 Hz are subject to export control.
• Frequency converters (AX8000 multi-axis servo system) with a rotary field frequency of 599 Hz are not
subject to export control.
The multi-axis servo system AX8000 is only available with a rotating field frequency of max. 599 Hz
delivered. This is sufficient for commissioning all synchronous servomotors of the Series AM8x00 with full
performance.
