AKD-C/N
The AKD-C Power Supply and AKD-N drives lie at the core of a decentralized drive system. Up to 16 AKD-N drives can be connected to one AKD-C central power supply. Hybrid cables are used to connect the AKD-C to the drives and to daisy-chain the drives. For more specific information about the individual components, see the AKD-C and AKD-N topics.
