The ultra-slim profile of the AX-5 modules, which can save up to 50% of the space in control cabinets as compared to typical I/O module series, is designed to elevate industrial automation. The series boasts a streamlined wiring procedure with printed diagrams, an isolated power supply module for outstanding flexibility, and an easy-to-use installation process with unique DIN rail clamps and removable front connectors.
Offering fast response times and comprehensive network interoperability, the AX-5 series serves the different needs of machine builders, system integrators, and distributors across many industrial sectors.
The AX-5 I/O module series has a slim design of 12mm width per module, considerably reducing the space required in electrical cabinets by up to 50 percent compared to typical I/O module series. Distributors across a range of industrial sectors, system integrators, and machine builders would especially benefit from this small design.
I/Os in the AX-5 series can be divided into various electrically isolated groups, enabling flexible installation, thanks to the System Power Supply and I/O Power Supply modules. This feature improves system availability and dependability overall by making troubleshooting easier and reducing downtime.
Every module in the AX-5 series has a detachable front connector, which makes wiring easier and requires less work to repair. A wiring schematic that is printed on the side of each module also saves time and reduces errors during installation and maintenance by eliminating the need for frequent user manual references.
The unique DIN rail clips make installation of the modules simple as well. This special design guarantees quick and simple setup while offering the highest level of DIN rail stability. It greatly expedites commissioning, improves system design flexibility, and lowers labor costs by simplifying the installation process.
Designed for time-critical applications, the AX-5 series offers fast response times and supports the EtherCAT fieldbus for reliable and efficient data communication. Especially, EtherCAT Hot Connect and Distributed Clock features are also supported, offering enhanced flexibility and precise synchronization. Looking ahead, the AX-5 series will soon incorporate support for PROFINET and Ethernet/IP through dedicated couplers, enabling even broader integration into various network infrastructures. These modules are compatible with Delta controllers and third-party controllers, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems.
