This article discusses common questions about the differences between AKD and AKD2G drives. A PDF version of these questions is attached below. More information can be found in the online help under the topic AKD2G vs. AKD.
The S200 updated boards use a larger FPGA with multiple feedback and filter options. Two new parameters have been introduced to select/set these options. These parameters allow the updated boards to use a single FPGA control logic release (LogicVer = 4/VerLW = 4.xx) to replace multiple control logic versions used in original S200 units with old FPGA (LogicVer = 3/VerLW = 3.xx) up to 2021.
This article discusses AKD EtherCAT scaling for velocity, acceleration, and deceleration commands and actual velocity. For the position modes, FBUS.PARAM05 applies to position scaling and the scaling for velocity, acceleration, and deceleration.
