Product Description:
The AH2003-B310-0001 is a controller manufactured by Beckhoff within the A Electric Cylinders series. It coordinates motion for hydraulic or pneumatic axes in industrial assembly lines and presses. By translating digital setpoints into proportional valve currents and monitoring sensor feedback, the unit lets electric cylinders achieve servo-like positioning without an external PC. Integrated analog and digital I/O on each axis gives the controller direct access to cylinder transducers and limit sensors, so auxiliary terminal blocks are unnecessary. Typical deployments include press-fitting stations, coil winding machines, forming cells, and other equipment where position, force, and repeatable stroke control must be supervised closely during each machine cycle.
It provides 3 control channels. Each channel receives analog position and pressure information through two analog inputs and supervises machine states with two digital inputs and two digital outputs, so the controller can react to both process values and discrete status signals at the axis level. A 266 MHz Pentium I processor executes the regulation loops under Windows NT Embedded, and all parameters are retained in a Flash file system so settings survive power cycles. Communication to the plant network occurs via PROFIBUS MC, while the enclosure meets IP65 for direct mounting near the machine. Physical dimensions are 174 × 200 × 80 mm, which keeps the housing compact enough to fit beside typical manifold blocks.
Each channel routes coil current to servovalves through a 12-pin connector and reads spool position with one valve feedback input. This arrangement keeps valve control, feedback handling, and local I/O in one housing instead of distributing them across separate modules. Motion accuracy is enhanced because the controller evaluates 1 Vpp Sin/Cos and TTL encoder feedback directly at the device, which reduces delay between measurement and correction. The drive signal is generated by one per-channel valve DAC output, giving deterministic current resolution for proportional valves and stable command delivery during changes in load. A chassis milled from aluminum resists oil spray and dissipates heat, complementing the sealed enclosure.
