Setting up AKD position capture HW source
In a KAS/AKD application, by default, the input source for the AKD capture engines are defined during the Ethercat network startup and detailed in the KAS project in the DRIVE COE Init-Commands screen in the KAS IDE. To specify a different source, the command source must be changed or this command deleted from the DRIVE COE Init-Commands screen, and the source then defined in the Position Capture screen in the Work Bench screen. Please note, if the AKD source is specified in both places, the CoE Init-command will override the setting in the AKD's NVRAM memory during startup. Attached is an example showing setting the capture source to 10, which is the Primary index signal on AKD connector X10.
