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 X9 Port on the AKD drive is generally used as an encoder input, EEO (encoder emulated output), or not used. However, the AKD also has the feature to use the X9 port as general I/O.

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:
In the AKD drive, a digital input can be configured for mode #22 (DINx.MODE=22) – “Switch Cmd Source/OpMode” and used to switch between two configurations of Command Source and Operation Mode.

Step 1: Configure the command source that…
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…
