Beckhoff AX5206-0000 Digital Input Output Terminal

Beckhoff AX5206-0000 Digital Compact Servo Drive is a two‑axis servo drive module in the AX5000 family, delivering integrated drive electronics, power stage, and braking for two motor axes. The unit accepts 100–480 V AC input and provides two 6 A outputs; it uses EtherCAT for control and supports Beckhoff’s One‑Cable Technology (OCT) for simplified wiring with compatible motors. Hardware version 2.0 is standard, with firmware in the 2.x range (for example, AX5206-0000-0200 ships with 2.06, while AX5206-0000-0202 uses 2.10 or higher). DC link voltage is up to 875 V DC, and the DC link capacitance is 470 µF, enabling stable high‑voltage drive for demanding loads. Rated apparent power S1 is 2.5 kVA at 120 V, 4.8 kVA at 230 V, 8.3 kVA at 400 V, and 10.0 kVA at 480 V, reflecting its capability to match a range of supply voltages. An internal braking power of 90 W is available, with external braking options including a minimum braking resistor of 47 Ω and external braking power up to 15 kW to dissipate energy during braking. In applications, the AX5206-0000 enables precise, synchronized motion control for two servo motors in automation, robotics, packaging, and machine tools, combining compact 2‑axis capability with Beckhoff’s software and EtherCAT ecosystem.
