The AKT2G family is recommended for new applications requiring remote I/O in a PCMM or PDMM KAS application. This article and attachment compares the AKT2G Remote I/O family with the AKT Remote I/O family.
The AKD-PDMM controller/drive, PCMM standalone controller, AKD, AKD2G, and S700 drives all contain hardware I/O that can be used in an application to interface to other control elements on the machine. Typically, to minimize overall system cost,…

The KAS IDE (Integrated Development Environment) has a straightforward way to connect I/O to variables in a kas project. In a typical KAS system machine I/O can be connected to the PxMM controller via:
We are often asked if an AKD-P-NBEI ( EtherNet/IP ) drive can use step/dir (electronic gearing ) or analog as the command source and simply use EtherNet/IP for
basic functionality like enable/disable, fault reset, and diagnostics.
The following link points to an example from the KAS Online Help which discusses process data transferred to the Bus Coupler for variable mapping.
Analog I/O Parameters - I/O Terminals for Variable Mapping
In the IDE project , the way to read/write an AKD analog or digital IO is to first link a variable in the dictionary to the I/O point as follows:
- Go to the AKD drive item in the EtherCAT section of the project…
Valid for S400, S600
The analog input can be used for the setting of the position from firmware version 3.10. The function is similar to a master/slave effect.
