Special safety instructions for AX5000
The safety instructions are designed to avert danger and must be
followed during installation, commissioning, production,
troubleshooting, maintenance and trial or test assemblies.
The servo drives of the AX5000 series are not designed for
stand-alone operation and must always be installed in a machine or
system. After installation the additional documentation and safety
instructions provided by the machine manufacturer must be read and
followed.
 WARNING
|
Serious risk of injury through high electrical
voltage! - Never open the servo drive when it is live. Wait until the DC
link capacitors are discharged. The voltage measured between the
DC+ and DC- terminals (X02) must have fallen below 50 V. Opening
the device (with the exception of expansion card slots) invalidates
all warranty and liability claims against Beckhoff Automation
GmbH.
- Negligent, improper handling of the servo drive and bypassing
of the safety devices can lead to personal injury or death through
electric shock.
- Ensure that the protective conductor is connected
properly.
- Disconnect the servo drive from the mains supply and secure it
against reconnection before connecting or disconnecting the
pluggable terminals.
- Disconnect the servo drive from the mains supply and secure it
against reconnection before working on electrical parts with a
voltage > 50 V.
- The DC link voltage can exceed 890 V. Wait until the DC link
capacitors are discharged before touching live terminals. The
voltage measured between the DC+ and DC- terminals (X02) must have
fallen below 50 V.

WARNING |
Danger of injury due to uncontrolled
movements! Read and take note of chapter 'Important
information for commissioning' each time before commissioning
the AX5000. |
WARNING |
Serious risk of injury through hot
surfaces! - The surface temperature may exceed 50 °C, resulting in a risk
of burns.
- Avoid touching the case during or shortly after operation.
- Leave the servo drive to cool down for at least 15 minutes
after it is switched off.
- Use a thermometer to check whether the surface has cooled down
sufficiently.
|
CAUTION |
Hazard to persons! - Carefully read this manual before using the servo drive
thoroughly, paying particular attention to the safety instructions.
In the event of any uncertainties please notify your sales office
immediately and refrain from working on the servo drive.
- Only well trained, qualified electricians with sound knowledge
of drive equipment may work on the device.
- During the electrical installation it is essential to ensure
that the correct fuses/protective circuit breakers are used between
the mains supply and the servo drive. Further information can be
found in the "Electrical installation" section.
- If a servo drive is installed in a machine it must not be
commissioned until proof of compliance of the machine with the
latest version of the EC Machinery Directive has been provided.
This includes all relevant harmonised standards and regulations
required for implementation of this Directive in national
legislation.
|
Notice |
Hazard to equipment and environment! - During installation it is essential to ensure that the
specified ventilation clearances and climatic conditions are
adhered to. Further information can be found in the "Technical
data" and "Mechanical installation" sections.
- If the servo drive is operated in contaminated ambient air, the
cooling openings must be checked regularly for blockage. These
checks should be carried out several times per day.
- The servo drives contain components at risk from electrostatic
discharge caused by improper handling:
- Please ensure you are electrostatically discharged before
touching the servo drive directly.
- Avoid contact with highly insulating materials (synthetic fibres,
plastic film etc.).
- Place the servo drive on a conductive surface.
- Do not touch the motor plug during operation of the AX5000.
