AZX Series Battery Free Absolute Encoder Servo Motors
Battery Free Absolute Encoder Servo Motor Driver - AZX Series
The AZXD Servo Motor Drivers are suitable for continuous speed control or positioning applications with a large amount of travel since they achieve high torque in the high speed range. These drivers are EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, or PROFINET-compatible. The host control device and driver can be connected with one EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, or PROFINET communication cable, reducing wiring. Advanced operation and function control are included through our MEXE02 software (free download). The basic operations are the same as the AZ Series, making combined use of equipment easy.
- Built-in Protective Functions
- Monitoring Functions
- Single-Phase/Three-Phase 200-240 VAC
- For use with AC Input AZX Series Motors

Battery-Free Absolute Encoder Equipped Servo Motor
The AZX Series is equipped with the same battery-free mechanical absolute encoder (ABZO sensor) as the AZ Series. These are dedicated servo motors for positioning and continuous operation.
- Mechanical Type Encoder
Holds positioning information even when powered off - Multi-Turn Absolute Encoder
Absolute position detection is possible with ±900 rotations (1800 rotations) of the motor shaft from the reference home position
No External Sensors Required
Thanks to the absolute system, a home sensor or external sensor is not required.
Advantages
- High-Speed Return-to-Home + Improved Return-to-Home Acuracy
- Reduced Cost
- Simple Wiring
- Not Affected by External Sensor Malfunctions
Battery Free
No Battery is necessary for a mechanical-type encoder. Positioning information is managed mechanically by the ABZO sensor.
Advantages
- No Battery Replacement Required
- No Battery Installation Space Required (Unlimited Driver installation possibilities)
- Safe for Oversease Shipping
Network Compatible Drivers
These drivers are EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, or PROFINET-compatible. The host control device and driver are connected with one communication cable, reducing wiring.
Sequence Function Simplifies Programming
AZX Series positioning operations come with a variety of sequence functions, such as a timer setting between operations and linked operation, conditional branching, and loop counting. These can be set using the support software MEXE02, which helps simplify the host system’s sequence program.
Extended Functions
Easy Setting and Easy Driving
Unit Setting Wizard
This is a function that allows the traveling amount, speed, etc. to be displayed and input in the designated units. It can be easily set by following the directions displayed on the screen.
Teaching and Remote Operation
Data setting software can be used to perform the home setting and also drive the motor. This can be used for teaching or test drive purposes.
Monitoring Function
I/O Monitoring
The status of the I/O wired to the driver can be checked on a computer. This can be used for post-wiring I/O checks or I/O checks during operation.
Waveform Monitoring
The operating status of the motor (such as command speed and feedback speed), can be checked by an oscilloscope-like image. This can be used for equipment start-up and adjustment.
Alarm Monitoring
When an abnormality occurs, the details of the abnormality and the solution can be checked. Because the solution can be checked it is possible to respond to abnormalities quickly.
The Basic Operations are the Same as the AZ Series
Using the AZX Series and AZ Series together in the same equipment can eliminate the work of operational changes.

Regeneration Unit
During vertical driver (gravitational operation) or sudden start/stop in high inertia, an external force causes the motor to rotate and function as a power generator. When the regenerative power exceeds the driver's regenerative power absorption capacity, it may cause damage to the motor. In such a case, the regeneration unit is connected to the driver to convert regenerative energy into thermal energy for dissipation.
