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…

Establishing Commutation for Resolver 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…

F401 Failed to set feedback type fault >

So here's my story. Boss decided I'm going to start programming our custom built machines. He said," Theres a computer over there, go use it."  We use TRIO with Motion Perfect v4, Proface HMIs with GP-PRO EX, Kollmorgen drives and servos (at…

AKD Biss-C feedback compatibility. >

Hi, Kollmorgen team I'm planning to use AKD and Zettlex Biss-C feedback sensor together. WorkBench shows  Biss-C renishaw on the feedback selection screen. Is it compatible only with Renishaw's BISS-C sensor? I am…

What commutation offset do Kollmorgen motors have? >

DBL / DBK with Encoder Feedback has no defined commutation offset. The commutation offset is determined with the help of the servo amplifier and stored in the encoder memory. AKM with Hiperface encoder Encoder is installed…

BiSS-C >

BiSS-C is a digital encoder protocol that permits a wide range of possible formats. The AKD supports the most common BiSS-C format, and can only guarantee support for the encoders listed in "Documented BiSS-C Encoders". To determine if a BiSS-C…

Endat 2.2: Inter-compatibility with various encoder types >

In October 2016, an inter-compatibility test was performed together with the company Heidenhain. In this event, the AKD was tested successfully with various types of Heidenhain Endat 2.2 encoders. The devices tested can be found in this…
