Read this chapter containing general safety information. The chap-
ters in these operating instructions also contain warning notices. Al-
ways observe the safety instructions for your own safety, the safety
of other persons and the safety of the product.
When working with control and automation products, many dangers
can result from careless or incorrect use. Work particularly thor-
oughly, not under time pressure and responsibly towards other peo-
ple.
2.1Safety pictograms
Beckhoff products feature safety pictograms, either on stickers or
printed, which vary depending on the product. They serve to protect
people and to prevent damage to the products. Safety pictograms
must not be removed and must be legible for the user.
Warning of hot surface
The surface of the housing can reach a temperature of 200°C. Do
not touch the hot surface. The housing must have cooled to below
40°C before you touch the surface.

2.2General safety instruc-
tions
This chapter provides you with instructions on safety when handling
the product. This product is not capable of stand-alone operation
and is therefore categorized as an incomplete machine. The product
must be installed in a machine or plant by the machine manufac-
turer. Read the documentation prepared by the machine manufac-
turer.
2.2.1Before operation
Protective equipment
Do not remove or bypass any protective devices. Check all protec-
tive devices before operation. Make sure that all emergency
switches are present at all times and can be reached by you and
other people. People could be seriously or fatally injured by unpro-
tected machine parts.
Shut down and secure the machine or plant
Shut down the machine or plant. Secure the machine or plant
against being inadvertently started up.
Correctly ground electrical components or modules
Avoid electric shocks due to improper grounding of electrical compo-
nents or modules. Ground all conductive components according to
the specifications in the chapters "Electrical Installation" and "Me-
chanical Installation".
Keep the immediate environment clean
Keep your workplace and the surrounding area clean. Ensure safe
working.
Check safety pictograms
Check whether the designated pictograms are on the product. Re-
place missing or illegible stickers.
Observe tightening torques
Mount and repeatedly check connections and components, comply-
ing with the prescribed tightening torques.
Use the original packaging only
When shipping, transporting, storing and packing, use the original
packaging or conductive materials.

For your safety

Observe the discharge times of the capacitors
Observe the following delay times after disconnecting from the
mains supply:
AX8620 and AX8640 30 minutes
AX8108, AX8118 and AX8206 30 minutes
AMP8620-2005-0x00 30 minutes
AMP8805-1000-0000 30 minutes
AX8831 30 minutes
AX8832 30 minutes
AX5101 to AX5125 and AX520x 5 minutes
AX5140, AX5160 and AX5172 15 minutes
AX5190 and AX5191 30 minutes
AX5192 and AX5193 45 minutes
Do not work on live electrical parts
Do not open the multi-axis servo system while it is live. Measure the
voltage on the DC link test contacts DC+ und DC-. Only work on the
multi-axis servo system when the voltage has dropped to < 50 V.
Ensure that the protective conductor is connected properly. Never
loosen electrical connections when live. Disconnect all components
from the mains and secure them against being switched on again.
Do not touch hot surfaces
Check the cooling of the surfaces with a thermometer. Do not touch
the components during and immediately after operation. Allow the
components to cool sufficiently after switching off.
Avoid overheating
Operate the components according to the technical specifications.
Please refer to chapter: "Technical data". Provide for sufficient cool-
ing. Switch the components off immediately if the temperature is too
high.
2.2.3After operation
De-energize and switch off components before working on
them
Check the functionality of all safety-relevant devices. Secure the
working environment. Secure the machine or plant against being in-
advertently started up. See chapter: "Decommissioning"

3.3Product characteristics
External brake resistor
An optional external braking resistor can be connected to dissipate
any braking energy that is generated. An external braking resistor is
always required in cases where the braking resistor that is installed
internally is insufficient.
Protection class IP65
The high protection class and corresponding complete contact pro-
tection means that the braking resistors are designed for protection
from dust, dirt and moisture caused by water jets when mounted
outside the control cabinet.
UL and CSA marking
The braking resistors of the AX2090-BW65-xxxx series are labeled
as "UL Recognized Component" in accordance with the applicable
safety requirements of UL and CSA and bear the test number
E-217179. You may therefore use the brake resistors in products,
plants or systems bearing the UL test mark.
Heat conversion
Regenerative energy is converted into heat via the external brake
resistors from the AX2090-BW65 series when braking a servomotor.

Product overview
Version: 1.0 ─── 19AX2090-BW65
3.4Intended use
The braking resistors of the AX2090-BW65-xxxx series may only be
operated at the connections provided for them on the AX8000 multi-
axis servo system, the AMP8000 distributed servo drive system or
the AX5000 servo drives.
Together with the Beckhoff products mentioned above, the braking
resistors are to be installed in electrical systems or machines and
are only to be commissioned as integrated components of the sys-
tem or machine.
Read the entire drive system documentation:
• This translation of the original instructions
• Original operating instructions for the AX8000 multi-axis servo
system or
• Original operating instructions for the distributed servo drive
system AMP8000 or
• Original operating instructions for the AX5000 servo drive
• Complete machine documentation provided by the machine
manufacturer
3.4.1Improper use
Any use exceeding the permissible values specified in the Technical
data is considered improper and therefore prohibited.
The brake resistors from the AX2090-BW65-xxxx series are not suit-
able for use in the following areas:
• ATEX zones without suitable housing
• Areas with aggressive environments, for example aggressive
gases or chemicals
The relevant standards and directives for EMC interference emis-
sions must be complied with in residential areas. The brake resistors
may only be installed in housings and control cabinets with appropri-
ate shielding attenuation.
