The AX8000 multi-axis servo system greatly simplifies the implementation of multi-channel drive solutions. The required number of 1-channel
or 2-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. The 1-axis and 2-axis modules can optionally be equipped with
TwinSAFE for safe drive technology.

The EtherCAT-based AX8000 multi-axis servo system combines powerful
FPGA technology with multi-core ARM processors. A TwinCAT 3 runtime
is already integrated which enables programming in C++, IEC 61131 and
MATLAB®/Simulink®. The new multi-channel current control technology
enables extremely short sampling and response times. The entirely hardware-implemented current controller combines the advantages of analog
and digital control technology: reaction to a current deviation from the
setpoint value is possible within 1 µs; the velocity controller cycle time
is around 16 µs at a switching frequency of 32 kHz. The processing of
EtherCAT process data (actual and setpoint values) is carried out without
a processor almost without delay in the hardware, so that the minimum
EtherCAT cycle time is only 62.5 µs.
The AX8000 multi-axis servo system supports OCT, the One Cable Technology for power and feedback from Beckhoff. In connection with the servomotors from the AM8000 series, the wiring is reduced to the standard
motor cable, via which the feedback signals are also transmitted.
