AMP8620-2005-0200 | Power supply module with connector for external regen resistor for AMP8000

The AMP8620 module is directly connected to the mains supply, which minimizes the footprint and the cabling effort for the entire machine. It contains all required circuitry components, such as mains filters, rectifiers and charging circuits for the integrated DC link capacitors. Further distribution modules or decentralized AMP8000 Servo Drives can optionally be connected to the power supply module. It has two EtherCAT P outputs, through which either EtherCAT P modules can be supplied or else additional power supply modules can be connected that may be required for system expansion. The safe 24 V power supply unit integrated in the power supply module ensures that the logic power supply does not exceed the permissible level. The DC link capacitors integrated in the power supply module store the regenerative energy of the entire system and then make it available again for acceleration processes. This ensures the best-possible utilization of the energy supplied.

If the regenerative energy is higher than can be stored in the intermediate capacitors, it must be converted into heat with the aid of braking resistors. For this purpose, the AMP8620-2005-0200 power supply module is equipped with a connection for an external brake resistor.
