Decentralized servo drive iX series

DCsynchronousEtherCAT

For mounting close to the motor The iX servo inverter is shock and vibration resistant and sits securely in a lightweight aluminium housing. Decentralised installation is therefore fast, since the servo inverter does not require a control cabinet – even in harsh environments, thanks to its IP65 protection. Straightforward series connection The user can wire several servo inverters together according to the daisy-chain concept. Here, the DC bus, STO and 24V are forwarded from the iX to the decentralised drives in a single cable. Real-time communication takes place via a separate fieldbus cable. Safety at a high level The “Functional Safety” option increases the safety of movement in the machine module. It is based on the FSoE protocol (FailSafe over EtherCAT) and enables safe movements up to Performance Level (PL) d and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3.
