Setup of EtherCAT master to run an AKD2G in “DS402: Cyclic Synchronous Position Mode” >

AKD2G Firmware AKD2G_01-90-13-000 Objective: We, Kollmorgen, supply an AKD2G XML files to be used with the EtherCAT CoE Master.  It has one default configuration, “cyclic Synchronous Position” mode.  Many Customers want to use EtherCAT…

AKD and EtherCAT CSV Mode >

With this EtherCAT Opmode, the trajectory generator is located in the control device, not in the AKD drive. In cyclic synchronous manner, the EtherCAT master provides a target velocity to the drive, which performs velocity control and…

AKD CanOpen Profile Position Macro Example >

Attached is a PCAN USB Macro & trace of the macro.  You can open these with Notepad to see commands and responce. 

AKD DS402 Position Scaling Setup >

Some History: We have been making EtherCAT drives since ~1998. That was before EtherCAT.org and before the EtherCAT standard. We don’t want to “break” our existing Customers' applications so we kept the same original scaling in the AKD. But the rest…

AKD CoE Interpolated Position Mapping >

I have attached two screen shots of typical CoE (CanOpen over EtherCAT) mapping for position control using 0x6060 Interpolated position mode (7).  scale is set by FBUS.PSCALE in units of the power of 2.  Default is 2^20 counts/rev of the…

AKD CANopen/EtherCAT Profile Position Mode Settings >

AKD CANopen/EtherCAT Profile Position Mode Objects and Parameters: 0x6060 = 6 for Homing mode 0x6060 = 1 for Profile Position mode 0x607A = Target Position 0x6081 = Profile Velocity 0x6082 = Profile Acceleration 0x6083 = Profile…

CanOpen and Ethercat (CoE) Interpolated Position Notes >

Interpolated Position Mode Notes (Ethercat and/or CanOpen): Update message rate is set in drive parameter FBUS.SAMPLEPERIOD, Object 0X60C2 sub 1.  It is set in increments of 62.5uS.  Example:  I wanted 8mS so I set 0X60C2 sub 1 to “8”…

Reading the Status of Inputs for AKD CANOpen >

For reading the Input status, State, for the Digital Inputs 1 – 7 on the AKD drive the object is 60FDh for digital inputs. This is defined by the standard DS402. The manufacturer bits 16 to 22 display the state of digital inputs 1 to 7, bits 24 to…
