2.3 Notes for the servo drive 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
Danger of life due to high voltage at the DC link capacitors of the
servo drive AX5000!
Due to the DC link capacitors dangerous voltage (> 875 V
DC
) may persist at
the DC link contacts “ZK+ and ZK- (DC+ and DC-)” and “RB+ and RB-”
after the servo drive has been disconnected from the mains supply.
Take the following measures for Safety:
• Wait at:
o AX5160 and AX5172 = 15 minutes
o AX5190 and AX5191 = 30 minutes
o AX5192 and AX5193 = 45 minutes
after disconnected the servo drive from the mains supply. The
device is safe once the voltage has fallen below 50 V.
• Measure the voltage at the DC link contacts.
• Secure the work area and wear the PPE (personal protective
equipment).
WARNING
Serious burns due to hot surfaces on the devices!
The surface temperature of the devices can reach ≥ 50°C during operation
of the system. There is an acute risk of sustaining burns to parts of the
body and limbs.
Take the following measures to avert danger:
• Do not touch any components (housing, etc.) shortly after or
during operation.
• Wait until all components have cooled sufficiently. At least 15
minutes.
• Check the surface temperature with a thermometer.
• DO NOT wear work gloves with a rubber coating. These can fuse
with the skin on account of the high temperature and cause
serious injuries.
