We do not have the Goldline motors in the Workbench motor database, and we do not have parameter files for the Goldline motors.  You can create a motor file using the Custom Motor screen in Workbench.

Click the "Create Motor" button and give your motor a name.  Then click "Select Motor" and "Custom Motors" to get to the customer motor setup screen.  Select the motor you just created.

A few notes:

Leave the dashes in the fields for "Inductance (direct, I-I)" and "Inductance Saturation".  We do not have values for these in the Goldline catalog data.

The Coil Thermal Constant can be calculated from the Thermal Time Constant using the formula found here: http://kdn.kollmorgen.com/content/coil-thermal-constant-motorctf0 

Make sure to scroll down to fill in all of the motor parameters.

Just a couple more questions, is this AKD drive compatible with the Goldline motor and its resolver? Do I need special connectors for feedback and power?

It is a standard resolver. You can use the default resolver parameters in the AKD. For the cables, you will have to make the correct connections based on the AKD manual and Goldline motor catalog. We do not offer standard cables for this motor/drive combination. But you could purchase cables for the motor and change the drive end connectors.
