To greatly reduce cabinet and enclosure requirements for machine builders and manufacturers, Beckhoff Automation has developed the AMP8620 supply module. With its IP65 protection rating and consistent decentralization, the entire motion system can be mounted directly on the machine.

This eliminates the need for a control cabinet, reducing the unit’s footprint and cabling requirements. Air-conditioning equipment, which would otherwise be necessary to cool control cabinets, can be eliminated.

The module connects directly to the mains supply. It contains all circuitry required for that purpose, such as mains filters, rectifiers, and charging circuits for the integrated DC link capacitors.
