Workbench loses connection when EtherCAT master is connected to the AKD using EoE >

EoE Overview EoE = Ethernet over EtherCAT This allows communication between Workbench (installed on the EtherCAT master PC) and the AKD using Telnet communication over the EtherCAT network.  It allows connecting to the…

Getting Started with the AKD/AKD2G Performance Tuner (PST) >

This document reviews the basics of getting started with the PST (Performance Servo Tuner). There are several references in this document to other documents for more detailed information.  

Profinet Real-Time Jog in AKD vs. AKD2G >

The Real-Time Jog feature in Profinet allows the PLC to change the jog speed, acceleration, deceleration, and direction on the fly (while the jog motion is active). The following telegram data is used for the Real-Time Jog: Speed:…

Establishing Commutation for Encoder-Halls Based Motors with the AKD/AKD2G >

Commutation is the means by which a servo drive controls the torque of a motor by determining the position of the motor and applying current to the appropriate motor phases.  If the rotor position of the motor is not determined correctly or the…

Configuration of PLC Siemens S7-1500 ProfiNetTM and Kollmorgen AKD®2G-SPP >

This is a guide to configure the PROFINET IRT communication in between the CPU S7-15xxTx-PN and the AKD2G-SPP PROFINET. The result is to manage both axes by means of the Technology Objects that the PLC provides. The axes will be configured in…

AKD2G Gantry Application Setup >

A gantry system consists of two motors sharing a load with minimal wasted energy used in opposing each other.  This document is an attempt to help with setup and use of the Kollmorgen gantry control embedded in the AKD2G two-axis drive. …

Coupler Sizing - AKT2G Remote IO >

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,…
