The safe, stackable servo controller
The b maXX 5300 sets standards in modularity. The module system impresses with high-performance power units with flexible expandability and connection to an integrated communication concept and a range of cooling methods such as air, water and cold plate. Converters and controllers in the power range from 1.6 to 100kW allow the implementation of both standardized and complex automation solutions. The requirements for machines and systems for ensuring future reliability, flexible expandability and simple conversion to modified production processes were already taken into account in the development process for the b maXX 5300.
b maXX 5300 features an integrated drive connect system: Individual modules can be easily removed and integrated without having to detach the entire drive system. Benchmark-setting control quality is guaranteed at all times.
The b maXX 5300 axis units are suitable for peak currents of up to a maximum of 420A and therefore also for significantly higher nominal currents of up to approx. 180A.
Cooling methods
The axis units of the b maXX 5300 are available with different cooling methods. This allows the user to select the right cooling option depending on the ambient conditions and the requirements of the application.

Fieldbus systems
Flexibility in communication: The axis units of the b maXX 5300 are compatible with common fieldbus systems. This allows the drives to be used flexibly with control units from different manufacturers.
Safety in the drive
The b maXX 5300 offers pluggable safety modules, which are an important component of a comprehensive, drive-integrated safety concept that complies with the requirements of the Machinery Directive. Depending on the application, machine builders can quickly and flexibly adapt the drive to meet the requirements.

Baumüller SmartValue: Smart functions create added value
Baumüller SmartValue stands for smart drive-based functions that promise genuine additional benefits for your machines and processes. The b maXX servo controller family includes a wide range of smart functions. The following features are included, for example:
Integrated machine protection: The “synchronous error response” function protects the mechanics of gantry applications if an error occurs at the motor axis.
Integrated cost efficiency: Save system costs for applications with high performance requirements – the function “encoder angle via fieldbus” allows for the use of low-cost and robust encoder system and reduces the amount of wiring work.
Integrated productivity: Parameterize a position for your tool in advance – after a power supply failure, the drive executes a corresponding positioning and protects the tool and mechanics.

b maXX-softdrivePLC – Intelligence in the drive
With the b maXX-softdrivePLC, Baumüller has rendered separate control hardware unnecessary for certain applications. By combining motion control and PLC functions in the controller, Baumüller has created a decentralized control architecture for programming in accordance with IEC 61131, making it extremely easy to set up distributed intelligence in the machine. Without complicated tools for control programming, control tasks ranging from the simple calculation of digital inputs to highly complex control algorithms can be implemented in a decentralized way in the controller – tasks made easy by the ProDrive parameterization tool.
The b maXX-softdrivePLC runs as part of the firmware in b maXX drives and is suitable for single and double-axis applications.
With the aid of the softdrivePLC, programs are executed in the controller with high synchronicity with the controller clock at cycle times of up to 125μs, and simple special filters can be programmed, for example. You can also benefit from many other advantages:
- Cost savings due to elimination of control hardware
- Fieldbus communication unnecessary for double axes
- Simple realization of master-slave functionalities
- Cross-axis access to parameters possible
The ProDrive parameterization tool: One tool – many function
The ProDrive parameterization tool gives users of Baumüller servo drives a comprehensive software solution that does much more than a mere commissioning tool. In particular, the extensive options for vibration analysis and the comprehensive self-optimization functions accelerate the time-to-market and allow optimal and efficient device parameterization.
Single-cable solution for power and feedback systems
The Single-cable technology that can be fitted in Baumüller motors saves the user from having to use a feedback cable, which is usually required in addition to the obligatory motor cable. The result is a significant cost savings, as this eliminates the need for additional cables for encoder evaluation.
Drive packages for your application
In combination with Baumüller servo motors, you get a drive package that is optimally matched to your application. For hybrid and fully electric machines, we set the important industry trends through concepts developed together with the manufacturer. For example, Baumüller drives in injection molding and blow-molding machines enable consistent quality and ensure optimum process data.
