The Beckhoff AX5801-0000 TwinSAFE Drive Option Card is a sophisticated component designed to enhance the functionality of the AX5000 series servo drives. This option card is engineered to seamlessly integrate with your existing system, providing an additional layer of operational safety.
With the AX5801-0000, you can implement crucial stop functions such as STO (Safe Torque Off) and SS1 (Safe Stop 1), which are essential for maintaining a secure environment for machinery operation. The time delay for the SS1 function is managed by the overarching safety controller, ensuring precise coordination within your safety system.
The card features two relays with positively driven contacts, including feedback contacts that are connected in series and potential-free, ensuring reliable performance and compliance with stringent safety standards. These relays are designed to switch the servo drive in a two-channel arrangement according to STO, providing a robust safety mechanism.
The AX5801-0000 is equipped with internal bridges between terminals, allowing for a straightforward electrical installation. It is designed to ensure that, in the event of a relay release, the connected motors are switched torque-free, maintaining the integrity of your system and preventing unintended movements.
This drive option card is a testament to Beckhoff's commitment to innovation and safety in automation technology. It is an ideal choice for those looking to upgrade their servo drive capabilities while prioritising safety and reliability in their automated processes.
