Product Description:

Beckhoff’s AX5201-0000-0202 is a digital compact Servo drive that is designed for precise motion control in industrial automation. Beckhoff is known for its advanced automation solutions that integrate seamlessly with PC-based control technology, supporting a wide range of automation requirements.

With its two-channel design, the AX5201-0000-0202 servo drive can run two motors with a combined rated output current of 2 × 1.5 A. Rated input currents for single-phase operation are 5.7 A and for three-phase operation are 3.3 A; the input is compatible with both single-phase 100-240 VAC and three-phase 100-480 VAC connections. The servo drive is compatible with a number of feedback standards, such as HIPERFACE, BiSS B, SinCos, resolver, EnDat 2.1, and OCT. The servo drive streamlines installation and minimizes the requirement for additional components by including an integrated power supply unit, EMC filter, and DC link capacitors. The drive's EtherCAT connectivity allows users to synchronize other automation devices with pinpoint accuracy and exchange data at lightning speeds. The built-in safety and communication characteristics of the servo drive guarantee efficient and dependable operation in industrial automation, while the multi-feedback interface and sensor-less operation capability make it suitable for a variety of motor types.

The AX5201-0000-0202 servo drive is certified to CE, UL Listed, and EAC standards, and features IP20 protection. Wiring is supported in a wye-source configuration only. The drive operates at input frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz. The output provides a three-phase voltage with a frequency range from 0 to 599 Hz. The drive is designed to operate at ambient temperatures up to 50°C. The control loop uses a cascaded structure that enables fast and dynamic positioning tasks. The EtherCAT interface enables short cycle times and

Ordering Code

Code	What it usually means
F2A0	Feedback polarity or commutation check failed during start-up/low speed
F184	Encoder wired to channel 1 but configured as channel 2, or wrong IDN mapping
FD41	Line over-voltage surge or wrong supply-voltage parameter
FD42	Brown-out, phase drop or supply parameter set too tight
FD4B	Supply dip or undersized transformer during load peak
FD4C	Excess regenerative energy; brake resistor missing/undersized
FD4D	Heatsink temp too high, fan blocked or ambient > 55 °C
FD4E	24 V auxiliary supply absent or unstable
FD17	Calculated thermal model exceeded (duty cycle too heavy)
FD45	Internal brake resistor overheated; add external unit or regen module

Error Code	Diagnostic Message (Beckhoff wording)	Likely Cause(s)	Recommended Action / First Steps
F2A0	Commutation error	Motor not correctly commutated	• Execute S-0-0099 reset • Verify motor/feedback wiring & pole count • Review IDNs P-0-0069 (commutation monitoring) & P-0-0150 (feedback selection)
F184	Feedback “general”: Commutation feedback is not feedback 2	Feedback channel assignment mismatch	• Correct feedback mapping in TwinCAT Drive Manager • Check encoder connector & option card seating
FD41	Mains supply: Umains too high	Line-side over-voltage, regen energy, incorrect supply tap	• Measure incoming AC line; keep within 100-480 V spec • Add/size brake resistor or regen unit if peaks occur
FD42	Mains supply: Umains too low	Brown-outs, undersized transformer, phase loss	• Verify all phases present & tightly within tolerance • Inspect supply wiring, fuses, contactors
FD4B	DC-link undervoltage	DC-bus sag during heavy load or supply dip	• Check DC-bus capacitors & wiring • Stabilize mains or add DC-link choke
FD4C	DC-link overvoltage	Excess regen energy, brake resistor not connected or sized too small	• Inspect brake resistor (external or internal) • Enable dynamic braking in parameters
FD4D	Cooling error – shutdown	Heatsink/fan blockage, ambient > 55 °C, fan failure	• Clean/replace fan & filters • Improve cabinet ventilation or reduce load
FD4E	Control-voltage error	24 V control supply missing, unstable or wired incorrectly	• Measure 24 VDC rails (±5 %) • Check PSU sizing and wiring integrity
FD17	Motor overload shutdown	Continuous torque > 100 % rms, excessive duty cycle, wrong motor data set	• Allow motor to cool; inspect load • Verify IDNs for motor thermal model & current limits
FD45	Continuous power internal brake resistor too low	Internal brake resistor thermally overloaded for duty required	• Check duty cycle vs. resistor rating • Add external brake resistor or regen module as needed
