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.

Accessories

Kollmorgen is your single-source supplier for all the accessories you need to install your complete motor/drive solution.
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.
Comments
my devices includes three AKD pdmm and one PCMM.Now, I want to know if i can design a software on PC base on c# or labview to control the PCMM or AKD PDMM. I have find the AKD datasheet ,so can i use the cable from akd X6 into my computer and use my software to control the motor without the PCMM and KAS software? how to setup the connect between PC and AKD PDMM?
thanks for your answer.
Other options to connect the PC based C# or Labview software to the AKD-PDMM or PCMM would be HTTP, Modbus TCP/IP , or UDP. There is information on these in KDN and in the online KAS manual: Welcome to KAS!.website
If you provide more information on the " curves which are changed with time' , I can let you know if the KAS software could meet the performance need. Send to my email address: [email protected].
As an alternative, if you write your own motion SW and place it on an ECAT master then you can communicate directly with the 3 AKD drives. The ECAT master could then replace the PxMM KAS controller.
Normally for my applications I use many WAGO PLC with MODBUS protocol in a network tree.
To improve performance I use UDP MODBUS connection instead of TCP MODBUS connection.
Is possible make UDP MODBUS connection even with PCMM?
How many simultaneous MODBUS connection are permetted with PCMM?
I found the hanswer for AKD but not for PCMM.
Thanks in advance.
The PxMM controller, which can only be a Modbus TCP/IP Slave, can communicate with multiple Modbus TCP/IP Masters. The number of Master would depend on the other application needs. Each master will take a slice of CPU power. How many would you like to connect to one PxMM?
It's the first time I use this device and I don't know its strengths and weaknesses, at the moment the program is only in my head.
At the moment I defined 4 communication channel
- Data pump from an old serial scale (may be I will use an RS232 to EtherCAT gateway)
- PcMM management from the master PanelPC
- I/O sharing with a secondary PanelPC
- I/O sharing with an external PLC WAGO
In any case, the use of the MODBUS protocol is not mandatory even if it is very convenient for me. In the case I will implement UDP communications
