Power Dissipation and Efficiency
The servo controller is available in two variants – as «ESCON Module 50/8 HE» (586137) with heat sink
and as «ESCON Module 50/8» (532872) without heat sink.
The two following graphs can be used to determine the application limits for output current and ambient
temperature for different supply voltages.
If you are using an ESCON Module 50/8 and want to fully utilize the extended temperature, you will need to
provide a suitable heat sink. From the following graphs you can see the maximum heat resistance R
th
of a
corresponding heat sink at a known power dissipation P
D
. Take also note of
