Central supply

D3-DA 3xx axis controllers are supplied with power and auxiliary power via a central supply

unit D3-DP 30x.

The number of axis controllers that can be arranged beside a supply unit is dependent on

the power (power supply and auxiliary power supply) required for the application and must

be taken into account during the project planning of the multi-axis system.

A maximum of 8 axis controllers (corresponding to a maximum of 24 axes) can be operated

on a supply unit. With the aid of the expansion module, a second row can be established and

in this way the number of axis controllers expanded.

Safety technology

The axis controller provides scalable integrated safety technology. In the standard model the

functions STO (Safe Torque Off) and SBC (Safe Brake Control) are available. The expanded,

optional “functional safety” forms, together with the central safety control FSM, a system for

axis monitoring connected via EtherCAT. This can include safe and non-safe encoders and

encoder combinations (HIPERFACE DSL®, SinCos, resolver, TTL and HTL) that are evaluated

directly on the axis controller.
