Automation Platform
Our premier machine automation solution brings together a highly integrated and intuitive software programming environment, best-in-class motion components and exceptional co-engineering services to help you build a highly differentiated machine.
Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ Overview
Kollmorgen Automation Suite (KAS) includes all the software and hardware you need to bring truly differentiated, high-performance machines to market faster. KAS has been proven to measurably accelerate development, increase throughput, minimize scrap and maximize overall equipment effectiveness.
Software
Kollmorgen offers innovative software solutions for programming every part of the machine, from the servo drive level, to the automated coordination of machine axes, to the human/machine interface.
Controller Hardware
Kollmorgen offers a complete selection of controller hardware for any machine architecture. Controller options include standalone units, PC Card controllers and drive-resident controllers.
AKT2G I/O Devices for KAS
Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ includes a large selection of remote I/O terminals and couplers, all configured for auto-recognition and auto-configuration within our Integrated Development Environment.
Human Machine Interfaces
The operator interface is one of the most important parts of your machine. Usability is key. You need an HMI with the input and display options best suited to the operating environment and the machine’s specific functionality. We offer touchscreen, function key and keypad options in a variety of sizes to meet virtually any requirements.
KSM Safety Solutions
Kollmorgen completes the motion safety chain from sensor to drive with innovative KSM Safety solutions. Intelligent Safety functions monitor areas with hazardous motion allowing the machine to effectively intervene with minimal process interruption.
KAS Network Cables
Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ uses EtherCAT®, our motion bus of choice for high-performance applications. We provide the highest-quality Ethernet cables to ensure reliable operation with the lowest possible network latency. Of course, we also provide all the motor and drive cables you need.

SynqNet Software
SynqNet Software includes the MPI, a set of object-oriented C/C++ functions and data types for use in the development of robust applications using SynqNet controllers, and Mechaware, a mechatronic toolkit for the creation of user-defined control algorithms built from pre-defined function blocks to improve system resonance, vibration control and settling time performance.
SynqNet Motion Controllers
Motion controllers for SynqNet include QMP-SynqNet. We continue to provide service for ZMP-SynqNet-LT, XMP-SynqNet, XMP-Analog, XMP SynqNet PCI , XMP SynqNet PCPCI-uD and DSP controllers.
SynqNet Slice I/O
These digital and analog I/O devices are optimized for the SynqNet™ 100BT physical layer.

Accessories
Kollmorgen is your single-source supplier for all the accessories you need to install your complete motor/drive solution.
KCM Capacitor Module
The modules support the DC link and allow a reduction of energy losses when decelerating as well as the bridging of short power outages
Servo Cables
Drive-to-motor connection methods vary widely depending on rated current and voltage, minimum code distances, different shielding concepts and other factors. We supply pre-assembled ready-to-use cables that meet relevant CE and UL requirements for any power and feedback requirement.
Regen Resistors
During braking with the aid of the motor, electrical energy is fed back into the drive. If excess energy is not dissipated, an over-voltage fault can occur. A regeneration or “regen” resistor allows your drive to function normally during deceleration.
