1 Foreword Appropriate use The servo drives of the AX5000 series are exclusively designed for torque, speed and position control of suitable asynchronous and synchronous three-phase current motors. The maximum permissible effective motor voltage must be at least equal the effective mains voltage fed into the servo drive.
The defect servo drive AX5203-0000-x0xx should be replaced with an AX5203-0000-x01x to avoid changes in the TC System Manager. When downgrading, the desired Firmware (FW v1.00 - FW v1.05) must also be requested from Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG. Documented servo drives...
Staff qualification Only technical personnel with knowledge of control and automation technology may carry out any of the illustrated work steps on the Beckhoff software and hardware, in particular on the servo drive AX5000. The technical personnel must have knowledge of drive technology and electrical systems and must also know how to work safely on electrical equipment and machines.
2 For your safety BECKHOFF Drive Technology Description of symbols The following safety symbols with a adjoining safety advise are used in this manual. You have to read the adjoining safety advice carefully and adhere it strictly. Symbols that warn of personal injury: Acute risk of injury! This is an extremely dangerous situation.

6 Important information for commissioning BECKHOFF Drive Technology Important information for commissioning Caution – Risk of injury! Electronic equipment is not fail-safe. The machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the connected motors and the machine are WARNING brought into a safe state in the event of a fault in the drive system.
BECKHOFF Drive Technology 7 Project planning – important information Project planning – important information The more thoroughly a machine or plant project is thought through in advance, the less risk there is of having to carry out expensive modifications during or after commissioning. This applies to both the mechanical and electrical design.
Use pre-assembled Beckhoff motor and feedback cables as these are optimally adapted to the drive system and reduce interference to a minimum. Ensure that the connectors are properly connected: this applies to the motor connector in particular.
