iX and iC Series
With the iC and iX series of drives, AMKmotion offers a “Cabinet free” distributed solution.
With the iC drive, AMKmotion offers a compact device for controlling servomotors by integrating a power supply capable of delivering up to 10 kW peak power.
The device has a 3x 400 VAC power supply, line filter, braking chopper, and 24 VDC power supply. The generated DC BUS can be shared with any cascaded iX drives and form a self-sufficient machine module with them without a control cabinet.
The compact dimensions of the iC and iX modules allow the installation of the drives in any available area of the machine structure. Dasy-chain wiring of the DC BUS power lines and EtherCAT communication bus reduces wiring to a minimum, even in large machines.

FAQ
The iX5 is a decentralized servo drive powered via DC bus, designed to be installed directly on the machine. It handles motor control and requires a direct current supply from the DC bus. The iC5, on the other hand, is the system’s power supply module. It is powered by three-phase AC and integrates the DC bus power supply, the braking chopper, and the related energy management circuit. In a typical decentralized architecture, a single iC5 powers the entire line of iX5 servo drives via the DC bus, simplifying wiring and improving system efficiency.
Yes. The iX5 series was designed precisely for decentralized installation directly on the machine. Thanks to its IP65 protection rating, it can be mounted outside the electrical cabinet, reducing wiring, footprint, and installation time. To ensure system performance and reliability, the manufacturer’s installation and heat dissipation requirements must still be observed.
Yes. The iX5/iC5 platform is designed to allow DC bus sharing between multiple servo drives. This architecture enables recovery of energy regenerated during braking of one axis and its reuse to power the other axes connected to the bus, improving the energy efficiency of the entire system and reducing overall consumption.
Yes. The iX5 and iC5 servo drives can also be used with motors from other manufacturers, provided the encoder type and related interfaces are compatible. However, the best performance in terms of dynamics, precision, and ease of configuration is achieved with AMKmotion motors, designed to ensure full integration with the platform.
The iX5 and iC5 servo drives integrate the Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function as standard, allowing torque to be safely removed from the motor and preventing unintended start-up. For applications requiring a higher safety level, additional Functional Safety features are available as an option via FSoE (FailSafe over EtherCAT), enabling advanced safety functions to be implemented directly on the EtherCAT network.
