Description
Product Overview
The Jenaer Antriebstechnik ECOVARIO 414AN-BV-000-000 is a single-axis servo amplifier designed for closed-loop control of compatible industrial servo motors. It belongs to the ECOVARIO 414 range, which supports motor speed, position, and torque-related control through feedback-based drive regulation. Typical applications include automated production machinery, positioning axes, machine tools, and equipment using ECOSTEP, ECOSPEED, or compatible linear motor systems.
The model’s order code provides useful information for replacement identification. The 414 designation identifies the 400VDC bus-voltage class and 14A current class. The A indicates a supply arrangement supporting single-phase or three-phase AC, or DC input. The N identifies the version without the optional Safe Torque Off function. The B communication designation identifies CAN, RS232, and encoder emulation. The final V identifies a CE/UL special-design approval configuration. These distinctions matter when matching a drive to an existing control cabinet and machine wiring.
The ECOVARIO 414 platform provides digital control I/O, analog input and output functions, motor encoder interfaces, and a USB parameterization interface. The manufacturer’s manual also describes optional fieldbus configurations, including PROFIBUS DP-V0, Ethernet, and EtherCAT. Those options should not be assumed to be installed on this particular BV configuration; its order-code designation points to CAN, RS232, and encoder emulation.
For maintenance teams, the ECOVARIO 414AN-BV-000-000 should be matched by its complete order code, motor feedback type, supply arrangement, and stored parameter set. The drive’s 400VDC class makes correct supply identification and DC-bus safety especially important during replacement.
Product Introduction (Non-Templated)
A replacement servo amplifier can appear mechanically identical yet have a different communication configuration or safety option. The BV code on this ECOVARIO unit identifies a specific combination: CAN, RS232, encoder emulation, and CE/UL special-design approval. A drive with PROFIBUS or EtherCAT hardware is not automatically an equivalent replacement.
Before installation, compare the motor feedback connector, power wiring, control I/O, and saved drive parameters. The manufacturer’s instructions require the DC link to be checked for residual voltage after power isolation.

Specification clarification: The 5.3A and 7.1A continuous output-current values depend on the supported motor configuration. They should not be represented as one universal continuous-current rating for every application. The 14A figure is the short-duration peak rating basis in the manufacturer’s technical data. Confirm the actual motor and supply arrangement before sizing the drive.

Major Features and Advantages
High-voltage servo-drive platform
The ECOVARIO 414 is designed for applications using a high-voltage DC bus, with a maximum bus-voltage class of 400VDC. Its power stage supports compatible two-phase and three-phase AC servo motors. Correct supply selection remains essential because the input and output ratings vary with the selected power configuration.
Defined CAN and RS232 communication
The B interface designation identifies CAN and RS232 communication with encoder emulation. This is relevant when integrating the drive into a machine controller or replacing an existing unit. Do not order a version with a different fieldbus code without checking the machine’s communication architecture.
The ECOVARIO family supports incremental, SINCOS, and absolute encoder feedback arrangements. Motor compatibility must be confirmed from the encoder specification and drive configuration. The manufacturer’s manual states that resolver-based feedback is not supported by this drive family.
Digital and analog control interfaces
The platform provides digital inputs and outputs, analog command inputs, and analog outputs. These connections support machine-level control signals, operating commands, and monitoring functions.
ECO Studio is the documented software environment for configuring the ECOVARIO drive. Replacement work should include a parameter backup where possible, motor-data verification, and confirmation of the firmware and parameter-set versions.
No built-in STO in this configuration
The N option designation means this version does not include the optional Safe Torque Off function. If the original machine uses STO as part of its safety circuit, this configuration must not be treated as equivalent to an STO-equipped model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the Jenaer ECOVARIO 414AN-BV-000-000?
It is a single-axis servo amplifier in the ECOVARIO 414 family. Its order code identifies a 400VDC bus class, 14A peak-current class, CAN and communication, encoder emulation, and a CE/UL special-design configuration.
Q2: What is the difference between 414AN and 414AR?
The N designation indicates no optional STO function. The R designation identifies the version with the Safe Torque Off option. Confirm the machine’s safety design before substituting one for the other.
Q3: Can I hot-swap this servo amplifier?
No. Do not disconnect the drive while energized. The manufacturer specifies waiting at least six minutes after disconnecting the supply and measuring the DC link to confirm that it has fallen below 40V before handling potentially live contacts.
Q4: Does this model support firmware v3.1?
The model number alone does not establish firmware compatibility. Check the drive’s firmware identification and the software version used by the existing machine. Confirm the parameter backup can be restored to the replacement hardware.
Q5: Which communication protocols does the BV configuration support?
The order-code key identifies CAN and , with encoder emulation. PROFIBUS DP-V0, Ethernet, and EtherCAT are documented as other ECOVARIO interface configurations, but should not be attributed to this specific BV version.
Q6: Which motors can operate with this drive?
The ECOVARIO family supports compatible ECOSTEP, ECOSPEED, and linear motor types, as well as certain other motor configurations. Feedback compatibility must be checked. The manufacturer’s manual lists incremental, SINCOS, and absolute encoder support, but excludes resolver feedback.
Q7: What should be checked before purchasing a replacement?
Confirm the complete 414AN-BV-000-000 designation, serial number, hardware revision, supply rating, interface configuration, and motor feedback type. Ask for evidence of power-up testing and parameterization status. Check the cooling arrangement and cabinet ventilation because the unit is rated IP20 and requires an appropriate enclosure.
Procurement note: This model’s order code provides a useful configuration breakdown, but motor matching and parameter compatibility still need to be verified. The original drive’s nameplate and motor feedback details are the best starting points for a safe replacement decision.
